| Big weather fan. I like storms and unusual weather. (Two days ago we got 16" of snow.) However, the incessant cloudiness of my locale can be depressing especially in the winter. |

| There are a few communities where the prevalence is much higher than average. Silicon Valley for one. Mine is another though I don't know any of them. Tech towns and college towns. |

| No. Don't tell until you get into situations that you control. School is not one of them. When you do, be prepared, because nearly everyone you try to explain it to doesn't get it, even if they like you and want to understand. Young kids are incapable of it and deal with the unknown through negative... |

| 5th grade sounds about right.... it's around then that I actually got with it enough to notice I was different. School was downhill from there. |

| Bland- try your local library first as they may have a lot on archive. I grew up reading Scientific American, Discover, and Smithsonian. That's a variety of science for laypeople, with Discover maybe being more mainstream? Though I haven't read any of those three recently but the Smithsonian so I'm ... |

| mine seem to be changing with time. When I was young, less than 15 I'd say, smell was maybe the worst. Even thinking of smells would make me physically ill. These days smells don't bother me. When I was young I was impervious to cold. Wore shorts to school in the winter. Now I don't do well with the... |

| ah, that sucks. My cat is ancient (nobody really knows) and I've been debating putting her down for the past few months. She's got a lot of problems, but the vet says none of them are painful. I don't know what I'm going to do and I have to decide in less than two weeks. Sometimes she looks unhappy ... |
