I have a ton of memories of a certain house we lived in when I was age 1 to 4. I asked my mom about a memory of laying in my playpen outdoors at a campground trying to reach up to tree leaves that were swaying in the wind, and my mom back then laughing and saying something about they're way too high...

I'm 39 and I don't have any "friends" by choice (just work associates). In your early 20's I think it's good because you probably don't have much money or other things going on in your life so why not hang out with others...

Thanks for the welcome :D Maybe another factor is how close the other person is... when they're sort of in the distance (20 feet away) it's easy because you can look anywhere near them and you're making "eye contact," but when the person is "face to face" it's worse because when you alternate eyes i...

I'm a software engineer and I love it! I think there a lot of other mild or outright aspies in this job too. You don't have to interact with people except a few times a week if you don't want, you get to concentrate on your coding, the job is very logical and everything you do is at your pace, and y...

Sorry if this has been covered before, but whenever I make eye contact I don't know which eye to look at. Do I pick one eye and look at that, alternate eyes (and if so how often? Once a second?), or look at some vague spot in the middle?! Other people seem to do it so naturally! Again, sorry if this...
