| How do you invest in special interests when they are usually too expensive? Right now I'm reverting to my special interest in Harry Potter as when I was a child, but I've realized that no matter how much I invest in Harry Potter merchandise, my pitiful attempts are still insufficient. I have all the... |

| This happens to me, and the thing is, I don't like to share my special interests except with my partner and my best friend (both autistic as well). I mean, I feel like my special interests are so intimate to me, so personal, that I don't want others to know about them. And this situation causes me a... |

| In my case 99% of Radiohead songs. Bloodflowers, an album by The Cure, also fits here, along with the songs "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" and "I Know It's Over" by The Smiths. I also want to include Steven Wilson's discography as a soloist and Crywank songs. Oh, and this... |

| No, I can't agree. Profanity doesn't usually faze me. I don't feel any compulsion to avoid using profanity and won't tolerate others attempts to criticize my choice of vocabulary, if one doesn't like how I speak they're under no obligation to interact with me. Further, it's often more straightforwa... |

| Ok, here's the thing: i'm very, very bad with numbers. I suck so much at math it's not even funny. And not only when it comes to math, but with numbers in general. As much as my parents and teachers blame me the contrary and express that I'm simply lazy, unmotivated, distracted, etc., I know that th... |

| No. In fact there is a lot of ignorance and misinformation regarding neurodiversity in society in general. This fact is particularly evident when you live in an underdeveloped country. |

| For me the things that have most likely lead to any decline are as follows- 1: Learning difficulty not being picked up on. 2: Little mental stimulation between the ages of 18 and 39 . More limiting potential than decline- not going to university where 3 years there can increase IQ by 3-15 points . ... |

I heard there are different sections, such as language, verbal, etc.
Some people can be wildly disproportionate
Yes, indeed, the sections were the same |

I had this game once, god of war. Between all the kids that were playing the game I was the only to solve th... |

I actually really like that movie, but there are definitely better ones. It usually attracts a lot of attention from the LGBT+ community, but as I said, there are other better ones. And that considering that I'm part of the LGBT+ community. |

| I mean, I have no friends in the three-dimensional world with whom I can share musical tastes. I'm a music lover and I live in a country where reggaeton reigns wherever you listen to it. Personally I DON'T like that musical genre at all, since its lyrics are usually very sexist and prejudiced. Still... |

| I have been asking myself this frequently because it is precisely my case, apparently. When I was 10 y/o, I was considered a kind of prodigy child cuz my IQ was measured and I got 132. But then at age 14 a neuropsychologist measure my IQ again and I got 106. I mean, is that possible? because if so t... |
