    Yes, I pointed it out to me earlier today actually. ;)

    Yes. People have even wrongly assumed that I was schizophrenic (I'm not) . People around here seem to automatically think something like that if they notice anything a little off about your mannerisms, eye contact, ect. I am not the only person that I have heard such comments being made about.
    Do you ever what it's like to have summer during the winter?

    Yes, even though my Australian friend has explained it to me it still blows my mind (I'm assuming you're talking about that?)

    LOL...working so many years in San Francisco, where summer days might seem more like winter ones. And then I once lived on the island of Guam, where distinctions over summer and winter seemed trivial.

    I once experienced Christmas in Southern California when the temperature got up to 93 degrees Fahrenheit. That was weird with those hot Santa Ana winds.
    I wonder if there's a correlation between autism and creativity.

    I do not know of any study, but our "out-of-the-box" style of thinking should confer such... ;)
    Welp, it's the last day of year. Any thoughts about the year going forward?

    Ever befriended someone with ADHD, and bonded over disorders?

    I wish. I don't have any friends outside of immediate family. Even as a child I was doing great if a "friend " stayed my friend for 2 weeks rather than 1.🥹 When I daydream that I have a friend they are often neurodivergent in some way though.

    I don't seem to get along with other ADHDers (offline). I find we tend to clash.
    Ever get invalidation of your opinion but they don't even bother explaining why? They dismiss it abruptly. With experience, I've learned not to try to convince anyone without an open mind. It doesn't matter to me anymore.

    Ever had anyone point out how off your voice sounds when talking to them?

    No but from the reaction people have had, my tone and intonation was off

    A boy in middle school once randomly asked if I had ever broken my jaw. I was so confused because I hadn’t and when asked he said he was curious why I talked the way I did. It was so embarrassing and awkward.

    No. Though I have a mumbling problem. My uncle says 'I don't know what you said' every time I do.
    Ever get nervous when you into a room full of people you don't know?

    Not as much as when I'm in a room full of people who I know just a bit.

    Always, if and when I am expected for whatever reason to "mingle" with them.
    Ever struggle picking out gifts, because you're afraid of misinterpreting what people wanted?
    Driving in the dark is tough, but driving through an area with the only lights come from your headlights is a nightmare.
