So I'm not the only person to see that! The way my friend says it, it sounds a lot like ass-burgers, and I'm still trying to decide whether to point that out to her.

I'm very much a hypochondriac; I'm constantly finding "symptoms" and researching possible diseases I might have. I remember a period when my lymph glands were all swollen, and I was convinced I had cancer even though everyone told me it was just my lymph glands. There have been times when I've woken...

I had a problem with not wanting to be childish even when I was little. It was bad enough that I wouldn't participate in school assignments I didn't think they were dignified enough. I didn't want anything with a Dysney character on it either; I had a pair of Minnie Mouse socks that I refused to eve...

I'm rather obsessed with grammar too. My family members know to come to me if they need something proofread; I'll do it just because I can't stand boneheaded errors. Just today I was at a thrift store, and a shelf of appliances had a sign that said "Items sold as is". I pointed out to my mother that...

I heard an autistic woman on NPR talking about a machine she'd made for herself that squeezes her body, and she uses that to relax. I have noticed that I feel good with my body shoved into a corner when I'm sleeping, and wrapped tightly in a blanket. I've never heard of weighted blankets before; tha...

I think Fraya might be right, but there's something else I thought of. I read in Psychology Today a long time ago that autism (and therefore autism-spectrum disorders) is really a case of an extreem "male" brain. A researcher devised a test to determine people's "systemizing quotient" and "empathy q...
