Agreed. This place shouldn't be a popularity contest.

I wouldn't even know where to get a diagnosis as an adult. All the resources in my area seem offer evaluations to children only.

Click on your name in the upper right and choose settings. The very first thing in settings lets you set your homepage to your subscriptions.

Hey this happens to me! Something in my ear just twitches for only a second or two and I hear a vibrating sound. It happens randomly and doesn't seem to be triggered by anything. It's also pretty rare. Maybe a couple times a month. I never thought that it sounded like thunder though and so didn't make the connection. This sounds (Haha. See what I did there?) like the most plausible explanation yet.

It's nothing but a popularity contest. We don't need that here.

This actually happened to me a couple of years ago. This woman came into my office and after we were finished with business, she said something like "I have two tickets to the baseball game. Would you like to come with me?" And I was like "No thanks. I don't like baseball very much." then turned away and started working on something else.

After she left, everyone in my office said "OMG she just asked you out!" I didn't get that at all and totally missed it. Besides, I'm married.

Heh. I didn't even think of trying this. Thanks for the suggestion!

It's my understanding that "reputation points" isn't fully implemented yet and means nothing right now. I can't point to a source for this. Something I read somewhere that I've forgotten.

I often hear my wife's voice when I'm on the edge of sleep. Sometimes it's so clear I'll ask her what's up, and she'll look at me like I'm crazy.

Not that I know of. You may need to click the kbin logo on the upper left. I randomly need to do that sometimes to see just my subs even though I have subs set as my home page.

Hi! I was never a Reddit user, but heard about this place after Reddit blew up a few days ago and got interested in checking it out.

I'm in Colorado, an electrical engineer but working an IT job. Ham radio operator. Electronics tinkerer. I enjoy reading and watching sci-fi. And, believe it or not, I collect engineering and math textbooks.

Jeezus, I've never had the experience of hearing someone screaming at me on the edge of sleep. That sounds horrifying! For me, it's always like she's calling to me from another room, like "Honey can you come here?"

That's weird. I've never heard of anything like that before.

Aren't magazine names here case-sensitive? Did you try searching for /m/Autism instead?

I've actually heard of this before. Is it common? Do you know of other people like this?
