Having just taken part as a volunteer for research into AS it suddenly dawned on me how dated the tests were.

If the researchers visisted sites like this they could soon collect information like this.These are not everybody but the majority.

We prefer winter to summer.
We are unusually attractive.
We have an aversion to using peoples names.

There are lots more but my mind has gone blank please feel free to add.

Wait, are you saying those are on the tests, or are you saying those are bits of information they could collect?

Those are extra information to collect.

Sorry crap at explaining things, find it difficult to imagine a different mind.

Personally, I love the autumn. Used to like winter, now I get S.A.D. when the days get short and become suicidal. Being from the south I could do without hot hot summers and stifling humidity.

Are we exceptionally attractive? I never used to think so (in fact I always thought of myself as rather plain and forgettable), but I see photos of myself as a teen and twenty-something now and think "Damn, I wish I'd known back then how cute I was." :wink:

Aversion to using people's names? Do you mean when speaking to them, or when speaking about them? I'd never thought about it, but I do rarely call someone by name, unless I'm upset with them. I have learned over the years to thank people by name when they've helped me or done an unselfish service, but that didn't come naturally. Hmm.

Here's one for your list: apparently, according to a thread I saw yesterday, a majority of us like long, hot showers.
