| I took the e harmony questionnaire. I answered straight down the middle to most of questions (the agree with - disagree with continuum) because I really didn't know the answers. I suppose many with AS would have trouble answering those questions. I for one don't identify my feelings that well, I hav... |

| I am a slow reader, sort of. I average about 20 pages a minute. There are many exceptions to this average speed. I can read George Orwell's Animal Farm at a rate of about 30 pages per hour but his essay Shoothing an Elephant will go much slower. I think I had to reread the later ten or more times be... |

| I want the opportunity to use myself. I want to find a place and a way that I can use myself. This modern world and the people that inhabit it bring me down. I have great abilities but struggle to use them. I want to succeed in making this world better or at least be able to try. |

The last pair of glasses I had were those titanium alloy frames, the flexible kind, and I remember enjoying showing off their unique ability. I am currently thinking of switching back to glasses. I may invest ... |

You are very talented. I think you should find a way to get published. Where I live there is a local paper that pub... |

I also know that many others on wrongplanet.net share your interests as well. I would point them out to you b... |

| So far I have refrained from using the term NT but I can no longer resist. NTs don't know how to park. It will take 25 minutes to drive to school and another two hours to park. For some reason it is acceptable to block traffic if you are waiting on a parking space. There is adequate parking at my sc... |
