  • How long do you sleep for (I can only sleep up to six hours)?

    I'm up to about 3 hours at a time. I don't do well without at least 7 hours.

    It takes me about 12 hours to get 7 hours of sleep.

    I sleep 8 hours since it's part of my routine that I follow to a tee because if I get out of it not very nice things happen but yeah... 8 hours every day except when the neighbors play their music a bit too loud and I have to call the police which has only happened once but... well yeah 8 hours
    I hate when people make autism out to be a bigger deal than it actually is. Chances are most people won't think you even have it.

    I think most realize there is a difference but unless they are familiar with the higher functioning presentations, many tend to either see us as odd and perhaps even creepy or else see us as weaker and easier to pick on or take advantage of in some way.

    I personally think it has to do with the societal idea of Autism, which is level 2 or level 3 Autism. Especially level 3 Autism.

    The movie 'Rain Man' is a good example of this. A debilitating condition that make you seem outwardly unintelligent and obsessed over 'minor things'. A unhealthy and uncontrollable level of rigidity with a set routine.

    But we cannot control people. They'll think as they will.

    Rain man was a terrible example
    Ever had someone try to get a reaction out of you?

    Like practically every day of my life.

    Not in some time. Not since high school really.

    But some people tend to do that. Particularly insecure people, who like to bully. Alot of times, people do it out of jealousy. Some just don't care and are just outright jerks.

    Happens from time to time. It's usually a certain class of "person."
    I hate traffic (so much noise).

    It can be irritating.

    I see pict from the 19th and early 20th century, towns look so peaceful and idyllic. I hope electric cars are able to take over... They look ugly but at least don't smell.
    Enjoying classic novels is a lost art.

    As is hand writing sadly. I still like doing my hand written calligraphy though.

    So true, l need Masterpiece Theater to bring it alive sometimes.

    The classics aren't introduced to the young anymore, in fact kids have trouble with anything longer than a few paragraphs, likely due to the focus on "reading comprehension" for testing. In depth reading of great literature has almost disappeared.
    Ever been so obsessed about something that you stayed up all night, despite all other engagements for the next day?
    Xinyta
    Xinyta
    Yeah. I tend to do that. Though I overload myself with anxiety and make it difficult to not only sleep, but wake up the next day feeling good. I just can't with things that stress me out. Though things I'm excited about I feel ready to go for the moment I wake up. It's funny how my brain works. :P
    I wonder which is better: Getting licked by a dog or having a cat lie on top of you?

    Cat by a long shot!
    Gerontius
    Gerontius
    The cat. Doesn't smell like dog spit, doesn't act annoying, kind of nice to have. Very very fond of cats.
    Anyone else experience different types of dreams after watching or listening to something before falling asleep?

    If I've been watching a TV series, it is common for me to start having dreams that insert myself into the series.
