| I think deep tissue massage is ok. When I got it, the person never could find the tightest spots. So I still had a lot of tension at the end. |

| Try exercises like hanging leg raises (where you hang from a pullup bar and raise your legs up) or windshield wipers (kinda hard to describe). Focus on intensity rather than volume. |

| Yeah, this is kind of messed up. I will say this: She looks really young for 34. But why relive high school? I do feel that there aren't enough opportunities and supports in place for adults, though. |

| I have sensory sensitivities, more to sound than light I think. As a child, it was much worse for me. But sensory sensitivities are extremely common among people on the spectrum. |

| From what I understand, HFA has never been an actual diagnosis. Prior to the DSM V, I think it was autism, Aspergers, and PDD-NOS. Some say that the difference between Asperger's and HFA is speech delays. Others have said that they are one and the same. Perhaps the best definition is that Asperger's... |

| Generation III has always been my favorite. It was the first generation where I fully played through the game. Generation IV was ok, never played V or VI. I and II were ok, but never really did it for me. |

It made no sense to me. Especially poetry. Poetry was the worst. I would read a poem and panic because I had no ... |

| With questions, depends on the question. If it is a common question like "how are you?" my standard answer is that I'm fine. If the question is vague, I ask the person to be more specific. The one question I can't solve is "What's up?". It's like, how are you supposed to answer a question like that?... |

| With me, it's almost like I have this idealized fantasy of what socializing is supposed to be like. Problem is, reality is different. It's like I like the idea of socializing but not the act. |
