  • Ever had someone point out that your wardrobe lacks variety (like all your shirts are blue, even though they're different shades of blue)?

    Wow, you have the clothes police living in your city?

    98% of my clothes are black or gray. If anyone comments on it, I just say, "I find the colors soothing." I like to think it's a neutral observation and not a judgment, but frequently, I am oblivious to what's really going on.
    Ever stayed up late at night watching animal videos?

    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

    Ever had that one friend (or family member) that acted as your personal translator?

    Not really, but in busy places sometimes I need someone to repeat clearly what people say.
    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 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.

    Yes rain man was such a Hollywood version of autism.
    Ever had someone try to get a reaction out of you?

    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).

    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.
