Well aren't you clever?

When I say ask me anything, I meant ask me anything you'd like to know about me.

Hello and welcome.

You said "ask me anything."

If what you meant was "ask me anything you'd like to know about me," you should have said that.

This is a forum for autistic people. We take things literally here. You have to make sure to say exactly what you mean. :P

Here's my question:

If smoke goes up a chimney, why doesn't rain also come down it, and land in the fireplace?

(I actually looked this up on the Internet the other day because I was curious to find out the answer).

....Point taken. I fixed it, and to be a good sport here are the answers to BOTH of your questions

Q1. Why is the sky Blue?
A. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Q2. If smoke goes up a chimney, why doesn't rain also come down it, and land in the fireplace?
A. Fireplaces have a smoke shelf in the chimney. This is a bend in the chimney so that the opening in the top does not see directly into the fire box. This stops any rain from entering into the fire box and the house. If you stick your head into the fire box and look up you cannot see out.

How severe is your autism? How old are you?

Aspergers

I have good days and bad days, and the bad days are pretty bad.

I am 20 years old and knew about my diagnosis for about 8-10 years

If you were trapped on a desert island with one book, one CD, and one DVD (and the means to play them) each of your choosing, what would they be?

Hi My_Name_Is_Dan,

Welcome to WrongPlanet :)


_________________
We, the people on the Autistic Spectrum have a choice.
We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

My Interests Vary and I will explain each after saying them.

Reading- Anthing if it catches my interest enough
Writing- Stories, Storyboards, Scripts
Drawing- Anything, On paper or on Computer
Gaming-Except Sports, SIMS, Grang Theft Auto (Although I loved Red Dead Redemption), and a few others
Sleeping- It's obvious
Learning- I like to know
Thinking- Of anything from what to eat for breakfast or how to go about a hypothetical murder (AGAIN...HYPOTHETICAL!! !)
Solving- Anything, ranging from why my PC won't turn on to another HYPOTHETICAL murder
Sequences- I only just realized this, but I am very good at remembering every single username and password I have every made, and I like that about me. I also figure out how to turn the current gas price into a math equation. Don't ask how I do it, I personally don't quite understand.
Archery- It's more graceful and skillful that shpoting a gun.
Martial Arts- I like it
Browsing- Internet
Television- Arrow, Dexter, Spartacus, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Psyche, Multiple Animes, Sherlock, etc.
Movies- I'll watch just about anything if it's interesting enough.
Music- Anything but NEW Country and Rap. I'll listen to old country, like John Denver, but no Taylor Swift or stuff like that. I call rap crap.
