| There are lots of threads about this on WP. I don't remember my exact score, but I know my Aspie score was extremely high and my NT score was low. I have no interest in seeking an "official" diagnosis though, so I don't know if the online test is accurate for me. |

| I think it's mostly due to the fact that autism and Asperger's are thought of as only affecting males, so doctors don't really look for it in females as much. Also, girls are better at hiding their symptoms and difficulties, and some of the Aspie traits, such as shyness, are seen as more acceptable ... |

I used to never make eye contact, but I got over that in high school. It's really not that scary for me now.
I've found it's helpful to just look at the person's nose if you find you are having trouble looking them in the eyes. It should make them at lease think you are looking at their eyes. |

| I hate talking on the phone, especially if I don't know who is calling. I don't answer my cell phone if it's a number I don't recognize. |

I don't like being around drunks. They're too loud and obnoxious, and sometimes a little *too* friendly. Or they're just violent and aggressive.
I've never been drunk. Even with a couple drinks in me I've never even been buzzed, so I don't know what it's like, nor do I want to know. |

| As others have said, vaccines can't make you more autistic, or autistic to begin with if you aren't already. Your teacher clearly didn't know what she was talking about. |

| Wouldn't the MMA guys be wearing cups, so it wouldn't hurt them as bad when they get hit there? It still might be effective to hit random attackers there. |

| I just hate clothes shopping with other people. They just get in the way and try to give their opinions. I don't care what other people think about the clothes I'm thinking about buying because it's none of their business what I wear. Plus it takes a lot longer if you're shopping with someone who is... |
