| I am 37 and I still usually get treated like a teenager. Half of my hair at the temples is already white, and I still get that. Dressed in my usual ensemble of man's T shirt, cargo pants and army boots, that is. Guessing biological sex in that case is absolutely random with me, which adds up to the ... |

Yes, this happened on mine too. I did spend some time wondering why some people never get over it. It was the first and the last HS reunion for me. |

| Touching by my husband - will tolerate unless stressed, even mildly. Usually touching & talking at the same time will not be tolerated; Touching family members - would generally avoid but will tolerate the absolute minimum, may sometimes initiate contact (when I know I really must); Touching peo... |

| I have always liked books and, luckily, I get lots of reading on the job. Then I have good language skills but only in reading and in written expression so I do a lot of reading and writing in foreign languages in my work - luckily, it involves very little speaking. Also, I am good at talking 'at' p... |

When I was little, I used to arrange the crayons in my drawing set in a specific manner so that every colour would make the transition to the next (e.g. yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green) and then stare at it for ... |

| Me too. I do like having pockets in my clothes and I always carry stuff with me. It was much worse when I was younger but now I can manage with a pocket or two only. I often have to dress up for formal occasions and the fact that I'll have to carry only a miniature clutch with me is very disturbing. |

| Thanks for the link Dots. This sound is comforting for me. I work in a laboratory where the air conditioning machine produces the same kind of noise, I do like it and I get upset if it stops for some reason. |

I bet this would make most people unhappy - to put it mildly. But no, I am perfectly alright about it, and I only thought about it because next... |

20 out of 24. Tut, tut, I though I'd do better. I knew I would be rubbish at the Far East languages - never had the chance to have a good look - so I failed every one of them.
Did the test again randomly shuffling the part I couldn't know and got 23 of of 24. |

I collected the trash into small plastic bags and had them taken out at least once a day (now I have bins, but they are really small and have to be emptied freq... |

| I don't like sweets, actually, but I eat quite a lot of them when I work, as sugar plus caffeine is the quickest and the most effective way to jump-start my brain (I have ADHD as well). This actually goes only for pure brainwork, like reading with very high level of comprehension (like studying) or ... |
