    You ever get that feeling that everyone's eyes are directed at you every time you walk into a room?

    Does that make it any less a valid comment?

    The feeling? Yes. The reality? Almost never.

    Yes all the time because I'm insanely eccentric or refined, autistic and the badmouth of bad character ppl in town without higher awareness by spread word of mouth in front of me.

    And because I don't stare at everyone at the time they're staring because I don't like looking at people. If you look they generally don't but it's exhausting and stressful to look

    Making lists can be fun as well as useful.

    Sometimes when I am going for a walk, that's how I entertain myself.
    Making a list. Generally something like adjectives, A - Z to describe....whatever
    it is I am describing. Otherwise I will be reading a book while I am walking.

    You know it's nice to meet that one person that understands when you tell them about your autism.

    I don't know why, but I love remember information like dates, people's heights and weights, date of births, etc...

    I also remember dates easily. I am interested in astrology, probably because of this.

    Well, I turn 31 today. Birthdays are turning depressing these day, but...at least there's fireworks.

    I'm 38 today and feel a similar depression.

    I prefer to keep having birthdays compared with the alternative.

    Someone told me l sound very young on the phone. But that felt kind of icky, like why should my voice hold me to an age bias that you have. In the end, l decided not to attend their school.

    I have this thing where I always do things in fours like making sure my right foot always touch the fourth step on the stairs.

    I can get distracted walking on tile floors, like my foot has to step in the same place on the tile, or X-number of steps, but then l just think it's funny and probably OCD rotting my brain.

    I have things that I must do, too. For example, only walking along the white lines in a parking lot and never across a parking space. Also, whatever happens on the left must happen on the right or I just feel crooked.

    I hate it when people touch me sometimes, but at the same time, I don't want people to think I don't like them. Tricky...

    I always get really self conscious whenever I tell people about my interests. Once I get going, I just can't stop.

    Did you know that Einstein was likely autistic?

    That wouldn't surprise me at all. I think that quite a few of the (historical) great minds and engineers were too.

    Is it normal to just mirror the moods and reactions of other people even if you don't feel the same as they do? Some people say that's actually a symptom of psychopathy. I hope not.

    Well, if I have a client in distress on the verge of tears, I will be looking concerned and most certainly will not be smiling.

    Sometimes you can't help but correct some people's grammar. Doesn't make you a lot of friends though.

    It can be a hard knee jerk reaction to ignore. Especially if it's a personal peeve.
