| yeah, it's easy to fall into. i don't know if its limited to aspies. i think in any coversational exchange there is always a dominant party who tends to get copied over the course of a conversation. also, it may be an instinctive compensatory mechanism to facilitate communication by trying to sound ... |

| It's gotten to the point that the beautiful people and all their wannabee friends want to smell like society's underbelly. I guess that's where they're headed. |

| probably best to self-refer as aspie only when in the presence of other aspies, and people close to you. Mentors (and others) are only interested in the differences you create for yourself: titles, talents and accomplishments. Stuff they can actually see (and make use of). I don't go around calling ... |

I have the same problem, and much of it is attributed to fluorescent lights. Two options are a table lamp on the desk or floor lamp, or switching the fluorescent tu... |
