| A lot of it has to do with your body language next to reading others body language. For example, I have read that people socialize by having open body language. They also copy each other’s body language as well. You can learn about body language and socialization by doing a search on the internet. |

| Ok, I would need to hear this straight from the horse's mouth by watching a video proving that they said this. Also, Tucker doesn't have the training or a DSM-V manual in front of him. |

| Yes, I have on a few occasions, and mainly because we drifted apart on various occasions. - I was very close with a friend who I met at a sheltered workshop when I doing a 30-day work evaluation.

| Because I really don't. It's just a bunch of egomaniacs getting a big ego boost for some mediocre movies. And occasionally a celebrity tries to do something 'controversial' like Will Smith's slap or Lady Gaga showing up in a dress made of raw meat. I find it all incredibly pretentious. :| I never t... |

It's understandable since many of us have come across unnecessary barriers in life which wouldn't exist if not for NTs. Not to mention bullying and the general nonsense... |
