| Civet it is really interesting, I have always felt this way about names, and never heard anyone say it before, so I kept it to myself, I'm glad to find others share the same feeling. |

| Very interesting, I try to avoid the name usage, or try to use an alternative that I find suitable, as you describe, for instance using Mr. then the persons name, even though this might seem very formal, at least I am then able to cope with saying the name. |

| Scoring high or low wouldnt determine if you would have autism or aspergers, it would assess if you were alert after birth, had a healthy colour, were crying or not, so it wouldnt make a difference to a later diagnosis of an autistic spectrum disorder. |

I live in the UK and the Partridge family was rarely shown, but the Monkees was often on, it was great!
Davy was my favourite too, and I liked the music, even thought the stories were predictable it was good entertainment for the school holidays. |

Could you try meeting people with similar interests as you as a way to get to know people.
Relationships can develop from friendships. Are there hobbies that you have or collections for instance? |

| I used to be obsessed with learning languages. I learnt russian, german, french, swedish, latin and some japanese. My problem is that when my obsession changes I forgot so much of them. My german and french are still quite good though. |
