| If the self proclaimed autism guru Temple G can tele-diagnose people like S. Jobs, Bill Gates, and even Newton, what is wrong with self evaluation. |

| Welcome Road Rat...... It was by "accident" I suspected I was in the spectrum. Online tests made my suspicions even stronger, and finally I had a professional evaluation. This explains a lot of the way my life has developed, so that is good. Honestly after several years of the initial susp... |

| I believe that Autism is a detonator word. It has no meaning until we internalize it. And then, it detonates something different for each one. For some its an asset, for others it's a disadvantage, for others its a disorder. It is a fuzzy word. In me, it detonated my internal introspection. It gave ... |

| I don't compose or paint or write, but if I'm asked to describe my feelings I can point to music that matches that general feeling. The lyrics aren't that important. I imagine this is a natural occurrence, NT's included. For me it differs in the obsessive nature and the social exclusion. I usually d... |

| I wonder if this fellow(Roberson) is looking for grants. There could be tons of money in exaggerating results. |

| Its taken several years since my initial suspicion to have the illusion of understanding myself. Once I accepted the possibility of Aspergers, I felt like all my life had been spent looking for the wrong answers in the also wrong places. This gave my life a foggy feeling. It's still foggy and it wil... |

| Hola.... Soy de Mexico, adulto de la tercera edad. Igual yo, no he encontrado ningun sitio en español dedicado a ventilar cuestiones de Autismo en general. A mi parecer el Autismo en lationoamérica aún sufre del estigma de que son "loquitos" que se esconden bajo la alfombra. Tal vez es hor... |

| I think it depends on age and how you process information. I had strong suspicions for over two years(Aspergers), but as I tend to rationalize, I decided for a formal diagnosis. Had I trusted my intuition, I would have been correct also. I guess introspection and research can be as valid as a formal... |

| Hello …. I’m new to this group. I have nothing but admiration for this fantastic group, as well as for all those people with blogs and videos about their inner life. Thank you all. I was diagnosed with Aspergers over a year ago. I had strong suspicions about that for over two years previous to diagn... |
