My dad once told me, "You need to make some friends!" I had a few close friends, but he never approved, t... |

| I always thought green was the most comforting color. When I was in grade school, whenever we had to color things, I would only use green, blue and yellow, mostly geen. Blue was too cold, yellow was too warm, green was just right! None of the other colors seemd to work! Reflecting today, my house is... |

| Why can't we let this topic die. We aren't going any where. Seems like we are going in circles. No one is going to change any mind as much as I try. You might be right; I wanted to know how Wrong Planet's population relates to religion as compared to myself. Do others possess my limited ability to ... |

| Moving is a major deal, all on it own! I think you should get settled, get your own room, feel that you have a workable environment before you take on the additional stress of a college course. I spent 6 years in school to get my B.S. degree, changed my major two times, had to start a few courses a ... |

| I come down on the side of symptoms do not get worse with age. I think you begin to cope better, you have years of dealing with your quirks! Things still bug you, some always will, but you have defenses and skills so as to not become so overwhelmed from them. |

| Science isn't really about absolute truths. It's about models that predict the phenomena around us. I think you would have many scientists rebutting that statement; yet I agree. Many models utilize specific historic data to predict. And most weather forecasts are no more accurate three days out tha... |

| Interesting thoughts one and all. It seems that some postings could be from aspies or NT's alike. I am wondering; for me, I think in a linear, logical and literal way. In turn, does that make leaps of faith unattainable? |
