“When Martha first met me, I was anxious and jumpy. I was always tapping my foot, rocking, or exhibiting some other behavioral aberration. Of course, now we know that's just normal Aspergian behavior, but back then other people thought it was weird, so of course I did, too. One day, for some reason, she decided to try petting my arm, and I immediately stopped rocking and fidgeting. The result was so dramatic, she never stopped. It didn't take long for me to realize the calming effect, too. I like being petted and scratched. "Can you pet me?" I say when I sit next to her.” PeopleKnowsTryingFirstsLongReasonCoursesNextRealizingResultsFeetEffectsArmsMetsOne DayBehaviorNormalDecidedDramaticPetAnxiousCalmingTappingAberrationFidgetingCalming Effect Author:John Elder Robison

Henri Becquerel had by accident a similar burn as a result of carrying in his vest pocket a glass tube containing radium salt. He came to tell us of this evil effect of radium, exclaiming in a manner at once delighted and annoyed: "I love it, but I owe it a grudge."” ActionEvilHoursResultsEffectsArmsMonthsGlassesAccidentsHealDamagePocketsExposedSaltDelightedAnnoyedTubesGrudgeContainingVests Author:Marie Curie
