| Wedding rings for men became customary in the West during the Second World War-tokens for men to take away with them. |

That's ridiculous. Men do it all the time. It's just that when men do it, it's called "talking someone in to something," and there's no stigma attached to it. |

| The country will not be 100 percent autistic. No completly non diverse place exists in 2016 and two autistic parents far from guarentees an autistic child. So the country has got to decide what to do with thier NT's and who is autistic which will be a huuuuuge obstacle. As I see it, this is the big... |

I love to drive. It calms me down and helps me focus and relax.
I've noticed a lot of people from my Aspies' groups either can't drive at all or hate driving. My best friend gets so anxious behind the wheel that I do all the driving when we go places.
Personally, I can't navigate public transport. |

| I have trouble with other people's faces as well as my own. I know what I look like in that I can certainly recognize what my features look like, but I have no idea what other people are seeing when they look at me. What does my face say? What does it mean? I don't think I'm ever going to know. |

| I am not a recreational shopper; when I go to a store, I know what I want and I just want to try it on and buy it. I have to try things on because I have to know how they feel and I'm very particular about fit. It makes me insane when I can't find what I want, or when something I consider a staple h... |
