Why is he obsessed with our dialect? Well, he seems to be a specialist on Limburgish dialects and I think he's from Sittard himself. Maybe "obsessed" is a bit exaggerated, but he manages to refer to it in almost every single lecture ("The interesting about the Sittard dialect is..." or "Astonishing...

Chewed on my hair all the time as a kid, when I stopped chewing (started finding saliva-wet hair disgusting at some point) I twirled ... but doesn't everybody do that?

Nowadays I mainly chew my lips, seems to be more socially acceptable. :P

No, you can't do it that way! I did not go through all posts, but it must work without such tactics, I think!

Hello WP, Seeing as I started posting recently, I guess it would be polite to introduce myself. I have been putting this off a little, don't know where to start. I don't have a diagnosis (and I hope nobody minds me "infiltrating" this place ;)), but I do feel this Wrong Planet could be a Right Place...

I study abroad, and while most people can't tell from my looks and/or accent that I'm not a native of the country I live in, sometimes being a foreigner can make things easier ... because as a stranger you're not expected to fit in as neatly anyway, and if you're awkward or silent it might just you ...

Having lived in Western Europe all my life and never having been to a country where it's that easy to get a gun, it seems very strange to me to find that normal.

Also, the term "neurotypical" implies that there's less variation among "normal people" than there is among peop...
