#2. I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to put something like this, but I made my best guess.
#3. What I wanted to talk about:
I have been reading about how the Finnish are when it comes to ah, social cues? I think that would be the best word to use. Especially when interacting with strangers (or the lack thereof, anyway
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
"Avoid eye contact or stare at others" (i've read about both accounts, where eye contact makes the Finnish uncomfortable, and i've read a lot about foreigners complaining that the Finnish like to stare at them
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
"Have delayed motor development." (this is actually just a light-hearted jab, as I heard the driving in Finland is ridiculously bad
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
"Dislike of small-talk"
"Taking things very literally" (I'm not entirely sure if this is really a common thing among the Finnish or if it is just a generalization, so correct me if i'm wrong)
I also heard the Finnish are very shy or maybe a little socially awkward? I suppose if it's part of ones culture to avoid much interaction with strangers, you would be a bit socially handicapped, at least from the point of view of a foreigner, but again, this may be an inaccurate generalization i've read about.
Anyway -- hopefully, again, no one took that offensively. If you did, you may not know much about Aspies, and have only heard weird/unpleasant/flat-out wrong things.
I just figured it would be interesting to mention, as it did interest me.
