| Learn the IT trade. No people, unless you end up working as helpdesk or tech support in which case I'm truly sorry because those people get basically crapped on. |

| Pickup artists always come on too strong. It is part of what they do. And it works remarkably well, doesn't it? For aspie boys the issues are those I stated. Yes add general lack of social skills to it, but from those fall out the more pressing problems that are so immediately obvious to women. I'm ... |

Lack of self confidence, odd body language, and lack of eye contact.
That's what it is. That's what it always is. |

Eat protein rich foods, and lift. Or swim. 3-4 times a week for at least 30 minutes each.
That's all there is to it. Your body can't refuse to make muscle.
Avoid refined sugars. They are poison. |

I use earplugs and I leave a fan running while I sleep. AAaaaaahh. 
I live with noisy neighbors, in a downtown location. With footsteps above and sounds of traffic outside it's hard to sleep throughout without earplugs. |

This has been explained. Earthquakes. They are loud and don't shake the ground much due to a unique geological composition under that town.
When I first heard of this I thought it must be sonic booms. But there aren't any military airfields nearby, or any high speed corridors. |

Depends on who the boss/owner/manager is and what kind of person they are.
Some will be sympathetic and will make accommodations.
Some will use the knowledge as a bargaining chip and hold it over your head.
And everything in between. |
