    What the heck is an autistic look?

    I've been told on a couple of occasions that I have an "autistic look" and I'm pretty sure they meant it non maliciously. "Yeah I find Aspergers people have this look I think it's like, the eyes" What the heck does that mean? Has anyone else experienced that?

    The Figure of Speech That You Dislike The Most

    Do you have a sensitive sense of smell? Can you smell temperature?

    I can bloody smell everything! Sometimes I feel its in my head because apparently everyone else can't smell it. I can deconstruct a meal and then recreate it using taste, and hearing wise super sonic cat scarers that are meant to be heard by cats drive me mad!
