All the ones I've tried are designed so they only fit one way around. If you put them on inside out they irritate your eye and give you blurred vision for a second each time you blink and become really painful after prolonged use. Maybe you just weren't wearing them right. |

I don't understand why some people find it so hard to put on contact lenses. It takes me less than half a minute if I don't need to rinse them first. Have you tried the daily ones? They're much softer than the monthly ones and they last you ages. |

I used do this long before I knew I had autism. I would say don't worry about it. Unless you're big and mean looking nobody's going to mind too much. |

I love alcoholic drinks. Unfortunately, my liver has different opinion. I get the worst hangovers ever so I very rarely drink more than a couple of beers in a one day. |

Contact lenses are great! No one has to know you even masturbate. I'm sure if you ask the optician you can try them out for free like in the UK. |

I'm much the same. I find every new person I meet incredibly boring. I used to have a few very close friends when I was in my early twenties but they all moved on after they finished uni and what not. I've never really connected with anyone since and I'm 35 now. I doubt if I ever will have friends a... |

I'm pretty much the same. I prefer to be by myself with no one around most of the time. My Mam sounds like your Mam. She's pretty clued up on mental health stuff generally but not on Autism. She really doesn't get that I can't stand certain things that she does. She thinks I'm trying to control what... |

I love animals. Especially mammals and reptiles.
When I was a kid I would collect snails and caterpillars and keep them in jars and watch them pupate or whatever. I also like watching the locusts I feed my reptiles. They're strangely entertaining somehow. |

I hate "text speak", if that's what you call it when people write in acronyms for phrases nobody knows. I also hate when people us "text" as a past tense. Which is a variant (sort of) of this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LeetLingo Yes, I think you are right. There... |

I'm interested in knowing what sort of places and activities you go to in the region to have fun. Maybe we could meet up some time. I've never met anyone who I know is on the spectrum so it would be a good experience for me. |
