I apologize if this has been posted here already, but it's worth watching. There were links to it on Slate and several other high-traffic websites.

1. Initiating conversation. I don't know how to get people's attention or join a conversation that's already happening. If the other person starts the conversation, I do better. 2. Having to socialize unexpectedly. I'm off in my own world (walking down the hall at school or wherever), and suddenly I...

Me! I definitely had massive crushes on my teachers growing up. Then I had crushes on my female college professors. And I've always dated older women (anywhere from a little bit older to inappropriately older).

I had bad hygiene growing up. It was primarily due to sensory issues (I found showering, brushing my teeth, and brushing my hair painful) and also partly because I didn't realize people were grossed out by others who don't bathe and wear the same clothes over and over (theory of mind?). Gradually I ...

I just recently had that. It wasn't so bad. He asked a lot of questions, administered a whole IQ test, and did several other things like a test for reading facial expressions and an ink blot test. (Yours might be different, of course.) The hardest part is waiting for the results! It's driving me cra...

I definitely had an imagination, but I was totally off in my own little world. I had my own country (populated by stuffed animals and later a real pet), complete with a political process, cultural heritage, sporting events, etc. I spent all my time either acting out the events that took place in the...

I don't like touching metal regardless of whether it's wet. I also don't like touching moisturizer. And lots of other stuff.
