| I do experience this a bit... though I've been pushing myself to branch out. I'm a big Alternative Rock/Metal fan of bands like Sevendust, Alter Bridge, Nothing More, Thrice, etc. Also a big 80s metal fan, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, etc. I used to love classical, but something about the heavier m... |

| The main character is excellent, and the guy who plays the President of the hospital is also very good. the rest of it however... I noticed glaringly humongous issues with the pilot. First of all, the board openly discusses using the man's Autism as sole grounds for not hiring him. This is completel... |

| I wouldn't disclose, simply because most people don't understand what Autism or Asperger's are. Wait, give it time, drop little things here and there as you need to ("I'm not too good around large crowds and loud noises, I have trouble with speech procesing, etc.") but don't tell them that... |

Hmmm... in some areas I'm not very creative (such as my work) but in other areas, such as music, I feel quite creative.
Unless in work, you would count being creative as taking a whole bunch of unoriginal ideas and jamming them together into a new solution that works.  |

| I am not diagnosed. I never claim to be. I strongly and confidently suspect I have Asperger's, and maybe ADHD. I have arrived to this conclusion(which is by no means final) by a. talking to people that are confirmed Aspies and sharing life experiences b. taking a plethora of screening tests c. going... |

| OK, so I have a weird relationship with alcohol... I don't go to bars, because frankly, the price of the drinks are obscene, and I don't socialize much(if I did, it certainly wouldn't be at a bar. :D ) So, I go for months and months without drinking, until a day comes where either my obsessive inter... |

| This happens to me all the time. It makes my work a lot more difficult. I miss cues, or I phrase things strangely, or a mix of the two. Or I just freeze up in the middle of making a point because I consider another option or a rebuttal to my point, so I'm trying to resolve that in my head and finish... |

It never truly proves anything, it merely mounts evidence of various types in support of hypotheses until we consider them theories, and further still until we consider them laws. Any ... |
