People who smoke usually get into it for social reasons (peer pressure, wanting to fit in, something to do together, learned behaviour) or because it's relaxing (in the beginning). I'm quite sure the social aspect of smoking doesen't appeal as much to aspies... |

| If you're like me and couldn't care less about relationships, then I'd say guys have it easier - well, as an adult atleast (guys are more often subjected to physical bullying). If finding the love of your life or just dating in general is important to you however, and you happen to me male,well good... |

| Haven't had a special interest since the age of 6 (from then it's been several on/off interest and daily interests), but I feel really guilty about unproductive interests like tv series, gaming etc. Sadly, those are often the ones I like the most. I'd like to focus on whatever I'm good at, like natu... |

| Sounding intelligent a sign of autism/as? Not neccessarily. Being considered a genius, while not being able to tie your own shoelaces properly ? Now that's more like it. I'd like to add that while using 'big' words (naturally, with fluency, precision and within the right context) is a sign of high (... |
