1. I hate being touched, especially unexpectedly. I have to initiate the touch or have it be something I expect, like a handshake, or I react badly. Also, I need people to stay out of my "slap zone": if I wave my hand in an arc in front of me and you're close enough for me to slap, you're too close.

2. I can't stand blinking lights or ticking clocks. They trigger meltdowns.

3. I refuse to wear the colors pink, orange, or yellow, or any variation of them.

Those are only three of my many quirks.

1. Always want to know what's going on. Have plans with someone over the weekend and will try and plan out exactly what we will be doing and when, several days before hand.

2. Don't like going to new places alone. I went to Chicago a few months ago and used the subways all weekend. I've never been on a subway before then. (I've never even been on a public bus) There's no way I would have done that if I weren't with a group of people. Probably still wont. :lol:

3. Social interactions in general. Never really had a girlfriend, nor do I really care to. Would rather text or IM than talk to someone. Don't pick up on sarcasm right away, so sometimes don't recognize jokes. I feel okay around friends, but become very quiet and anxious around people I don't know. Especially crowds of strangers.
