| According to what I've read aspies are often verbal thinkers but people with classical autism tend to think visually. (I haven't done any in-depth research on this though.) Can you give me any reasons why that's so? |

| What I mean by "impolite behavior" is saying things that are not appropriate in the given situation. Do you think it's highly dependent on the culture whether your behavior gets pointed out or not? Strangely worded question. Do you mean something that someone else takes the wrong way, even if it is... |

| They do. Especially when I'm already having a lot of sensory overload and/or stress, touching me unexpectedly is a particularly bad idea. I have learned to control my feelings enough to stand virtually everything else, but sometimes I'm already struggling with the other stress so badly that it's you... |

| Whoa, looks like I'm an exception: I don't believe I will ever have children (even though I'm still a teenager). But who really knows? In my case the most limiting factor will probably be finding someone who I really love and who loves me back. I have only once felt something resembling love, but I ... |

I have to admit, that I'm not very social so I don't have a good sample size. However, in the past I o... |

| I did about as well as I expected. Maybe a little better even. Your score: 18 A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30, you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult. The correct answers... |

| I used to be type 1 before the age of 13. From then I have been more like a type 2 aspie, because I have learned more about social interacting (although I'm still not good at non-verbal communication and I sometimes have problems in conversations) and you have not been able anymore to verbally provo... |

History after 1900 and citizenship education (check Wikipedia if it sounds odd). Those are my favorites.
What do I hate? Biology and geography. |

As you can see, my nick is "RPG83".
"R" is the first letter of a nickname I saw on the internet.
"P" and "G" are first letters of name (maybe mine, maybe not).
"83" refers to birth year, but not mine. |
