| Heat for me, I would say it might be affected by my being overweight but I also dislike realy warm water when showering for example. One thing that bothers the hell out of me is how warm some stores have the AC especially during the winter, I dislike shopping at certain stores because they keep it t... |

| I doubt most of us with Aspegers were having sex in high school. Plus I would hope most of us would look at things logically and think it is a bad idea. |

| Don't the Japanese have a saying that says "The Nail that sticks out should be hammered down" But the good news is the Japanese see Westerners as foriegn and weird so they might not even notice your autism. I am sure if you smile a lot and try to use a lot of Japanese words or at least make an atte... |

| I can't afford to drive but even if I could I do not think I could handle it. Far to much stimulus to take in at one time especially at higher speeds. Strangely I am a good map reader and my sense of direction is good so I am a good passenger. Edit: My coordination is pretty bad, I never learned to ... |

| I bet there is a good number of autistic people on SSI/SSDI that would not be on it if it was not for NT bullying causing them to become even more autistic or destroying their will. :x Yeah.

| One idea I have is to get involved with it yourself and see if you can make a quilt of all one color or with two colors as opposed to multiple colors. You would then be able to see the order and precision in the stitches and the work that goes in to them plus you could use that as an example of a qu... |
