The mutual flies check
Outward greet actions can include the 'handshake check' – will they /won't they shake hands? This is done by looking at the other persons hand – down by the groin, possibly in a pocket – to see if it's going to be raised for a handshake. It happens because people aren't always sure if someone...- Red Star

The mutual flies check
General accepted theory: Groin check- males have an inbuilt subconscious requirement to check the 'maleness' and dominance of other males - whether they are strangers walking into a room or people they've known forever. This is done through a 'glance' to the groin area of other males...- Red Star

Difficulties with violin?

I can't stand eating noises - even my own- quite difficult at times - or ticking clocks - we have several in the house but none in my room at all. You can get 'white noise' on...- Red Star

Hugs (like or dislike?)
Like you, I'm not a hugger. I wasn't brought up as one and just don't have the emotional need to do it.

I...- Red Star

Aspergers and Expectations
People tend to be victims of their environment. Parents were brought up a certain way, have certain 'rules and beliefs' to live by and teach those to their children who, having adapted slightly to outside influences, then teach similar things to their own children. This does include...- Red Star

An Aging Aspie having a Nervous Breakdown?
I can see this thread but not the article, perhaps age has nothing to do with it. I'm in my 40's, it's my 3rd meltdown/breakdown/call-it-what-you-want-down over my life, the 1st at 18, just prior to A level exams, the 2nd in my 20's and the 3rd recently after a few months of workload, people and...- Red Star
