    Your least favorite meals as a kid

    The dreadful, annoying, "how are you?"

    I don't like this question because it is to broad a question. Also I think it is sometimes it is not genuine or the other person doesn't have enough patience to want to know.

    Thank you, I am kind of a ghost because I am there in the back round. If I have something that help then I might say it. But I am like you, I worry that it might come out right. Thanks again

    NeuroTribes

    So far I like what I read. I haven't quite finished it yet. There seems to be a lot written about the men and women on the spectrum who have amazing abilities and some of us aren't like them. I guess that isn't the point of the book but it can be depressing to read. Also it is good to see...
