And how's that working out for you? |

"If it's on the Internet, it must be true." - Abraham Lincoln
Also, I must be unique (spoiler: I'm not the only one) in not being lulled into personality equating to looks. If the personality is s**t - as in, generally unkind, duplicitous, etc. - all bets are off for me. |

Storming a federal building and putting the lives of politicians and federal employees at risk is a telling sign.

| Yeah, I had heard about this. Christa McAuliffe...that name rang a bell. A quick search on Wikipedia shows she was set to be the first teacher to head to space. Sadly, because of this tragic incident that never came to be. |

None of them. It looks like they're all being rounded up as promised and punishments are being doled out as necessary.
This is the price you pay for being a massive idiot. |

| Nobody here knows exactly what's going on in your interactions. It may very well be something that you are doing that's off-putting to others like it or not, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. If you haven't tried anything different and are that eager to impress others, you may w... |

| I agree. This is why I take most forum posts with a grain of salt, plus the whole ranting against neurotypicals that's common here. Yes, some people are jerks. Some are not. Despite what you might see only on the surface, neurotypicals have to put up with crap from everyday life too. Not only that, ... |

You should be lucky that didn't escalate into something bigger. They revved their engines; you threw a couple of glass bottles. Really hard to tell who's in the wrong here.
Get ear protection of some sort if your sensitivity to noise is bothering you. |

| No, it doesn't, and count yourself lucky if you simply get called out on and criticized for it on an internet forum. There are consequences to your actions offline. Also, not everyone on the spectrum has difficulty learning appropriate behavior. Some do, perhaps, but I can count on both hands and th... |
