Autistic people aren't always particularly annoying.

Anyway, one's based on a deficit of ability and the other's based on a deficit of will.
Oh, I'll grant that strictly speaking the dick can't really be anything else - free will doesn't exactly show up as a major correlate.
But when you change the social pressure's in the dick's case you get different behaviours out at the other end - whereas when you change the social pressures in the autistic person's case they don't stop being autistic for all you can train some of them to fake it somewhat when they get older.
I argue my performance is better on my shifted schedule.
Also, I already make way more than I need to live. Quality of life is the biggest factor at this point, and that includes working on my schedule, wearing flip flops to work if I want, etc.
I've really dumbed it down, and horribly mangled it.
Read the link I provided, he does a much better job there. If you don't want to read all of it just search for "Now, remember I said the third thing you have to do in science is show that this is not just some quirk.", and read from the top of that section.
'slush' is onomatopoeic. Is 'axe'? How about 'milk' or 'mother'?
In rough English approximation: güf thæm men ÆL-dun THEES-nuh für, where ü is as in German and æ is the vowel sound in 'cat' in most dialects (i.e. not in the dialects of Scotland or New Zealand.)
I think the more normal word order would be “gief þæm ealdan menn þisne fyr” (if I am correct in understand the sentence you're trying to do). As for the pronunciation:
1. the <g> in the first word manifests in that particular phonological environment as [j] (palatal approximant, as in English "y"), if I'm not mistaken.
2. The <ie> is pronounced either [i:] or as a diphthong [ie] (but probably not [y]). The diphthong is probably older, and sort of has an Old Saxon twang to it, if I may say.
3. <ea> is not pronounced [æ] but rather as a super cool-sounding diphthong, [æɑ].
4. There's not consensus as far as I know about the pronunciation of <r> in OE. I tend to go with the alveolar trill, but other options are the alveolar approximant (as you have suggested) and the alveolar tap.
So, an amended pronunciation gloss might look like this:
It's not so much the grill smell as it is the grill smoke. A lot of kebab stands in NYC cover half the intersection in a thick haze. It's mouth-watering when you're hungry, and annoying when you're not.
Personally I don't care that the trucks emit smells, but if they're injecting so much smoke into the atmosphere that I can barely see, that's no longer cool.
(Aspergers is no longer a disorder, it got rolled into autism.)
