What if we all are provoked into doing something against our wills just because we are on the spectrum?

Did you know that 'mosquito' is derived from the Latin word 'musca' (fly)?

Did you know that the word 'interesting' is derived from Latin? How interesting is that?

did you know that "Wyrd bið ful aræd" = anglo-saxon for "fate is wholly inexorable"? - did you know that it is from the poem "The Wanderer"? did you know that it is pronounced as "weeud bith full adead" [tongue flap r]?

Is there any difference between any reason and any raisin, apart from a couple of letters?
