| I once had a pair, they worked fairly well, but I also had to stick tissue in my ears to block out the electronic hiss. |

I had a dream where my parents sent me to a mental hospital. I didn't feel scared during the dream, but when I woke up I felt emotionally drained.
During my childhood my parents were always putting me on various pills, I was never bothered by it until that dream just put everything into focus. |

It took me a couple episodes to really like this show, but now I'm loving it.
I'm incapable of getting up before noon, so I have to watch it on my cable's on demand service, which is always a couple episodes behind. Grr. |

| If an NT changes the topic it probably means that the conversation is just small talk. A big difference between NTs and Auties is that while we talk to convey information NTs talk to convey social cues, in small talk the topic is unimportant. When I'm talking to two or more NTs at the same time I'm ... |

I feel that I'm just an acquaintance to my best friends. |

Schoolwork in college was much easier for me, I'm not sure why.
Meeting people and making friends was still as hard as it was in high school. I never could find any clubs I was interested in, I just always hung out with the same couple of people in my dorm. |

| I think she might. A big factor in her weirdness is her not thinking about how other people see her. Evanna Lynch's portrayal in the movies speaks in a rather dreamy monotone that seems very aspie. |

| I tend to visualize characters as soon as they're mentioned. One of my biggest pet peeves in fiction is when a character is described after I've visualized them. Once I see a character in my head I can't unsee them no matter how much their description contradicts my image of them. |

Now it’s been almost five years since I last heard from him and I just learned from people who know him that he wants to talk to me again.
