| I do not know quite why, but the name 'Elon Musk' has been popping into my head from time to time at random tasks and nothing else, other times it could be something completely different and for no reason, does anyone else get this? |

| I just saw this on BBC news site and thought I would let anyone who hadn't seen it read it, quite frankly I cannot believe they would say this, next they will be claiming that those who were born with no hands or whatever due to thalidomide can and will spontaneously grow limbs in the future. It is ... |

I wish I could've gone, but I have only read this topic right now...what are my chances of getting in on it now at this late stage? 
How do I attend this "virtually" right now without details? |

| To me I don't think this will make a slight bit of difference, unless you get the media vilifying the latest criminal and they can tag the offender with autism/aspergers or someone is a screaming ret*d as portrayed in Rain Man or completely shut down they do not care. Politicians only care about the... |

Oh crap, I have a dental appointment around about now...
I went a short while ago and was almost bouncing off the walls...if they were still allowed I am sure the dentist would've liked the optional straitjacket and tie-downs. |

| I got 17/30, which is fairly average I guess, but I have never been one for these "Sally has two apples but Jeff has one sausage, If Sally eats his sausage how many Aardvarks are using binoculars to watch her apples on Saturday?" Maybe it is just that I cannot be bothered with those stupid questions... |

| I have certain routines that have to be adhered to when cashing up at night and if someone comes along and "helps" then I am lost, and generally have to start again when they end up putting things out of sequence. For me it is not that bad at all, I do have routines and I can break some of them; but... |
