| Should I pop the blisters or let them be? You should not puncture the blisters; unless you really have to move, and they're to big to move without doing it. Puncturing blisters opens up your skin to infections and further irritation, but in a critical situation being able to walk may be more import... |

| When the shirt is stupid, you can bet the person wearing it is stupid. I for one like shirts like this. The reason why is that it lets me know to avoid people from hundreds of feet away. Some t-shirt's I see is so stupid, they might as well use an "I'm with supid" (with upwards arrow) shirt. I hate... |

| Have it or not I take pills for it - Ritalin - which are extremely helpful to me. So do I. And I guess; even if most people (that does not "need it") possibly could benefit from a therapeutic dose of Ritalin, without too many ill effects, I don't think they could take 20mg (my morning dose) before ... |

| I think I read somewhere that researchers had found that for conscious tasks the maximum was 2 tasks without "context switching", they think it's because our cerebral cortex is split into two hemispheres (we are essentially "dual core"). Of course we're able to do several things at the same time; li... |

I think I might have figured this out because this is how far away you'll get if someone pushes ... |

| At a LUG (linux user group), or other geeky gatherings, maybe... I once met a guy I'm pretty sure is on the spectrum, at a wedding. He's probably 30 years older than me, and a medical doctor. I noticed him because he was avoiding eye-contact, and tried (and failed on everybody else) to make a joke a... |

| It's latin "quasi" written with a v instead of u (both since the romans did not have a "u" letter but used "v" and because it's usually available everywhere [except on polish wikipedia for some reason]). "Quasi" means "almost" or "fake" etc., like in "quasi intellectual" and "Quasimodo" (The Hunchba... |

What's the normal size for testicles? And how do, one measure it? Circumference?
I feel my balls are rather big, but I'm not sure how they compares to average?
Are their size normally related to size/length in general?
I'm curious...  |

| I think the "theory of mind" stuff is a bit strange and self contradictory concept. NT's are supposed to have a theory of mind and automatically understand others, but they certainly don't know what I'm thinking, and keep assuming I am in the same train of thought as them. (BTW, I'm not dx'ed with a... |

| I'm diagnosed with ADD (not so hyper ADHD) which gives me the benefit of getting Ritalin. I think this diagnose is correct as Ritalin helps a lot (went from failing to submit enough home assignments in maths to be allowed an exam to getting a B after starting on Ritalin while in university-college).... |
