| I actually drive very well, if I may humbly say so. I was terrible when I started though. Real, real, real bad. But like most things I try I pick them up quickly, have a great attention for detail and become very good at them. I suspect that typical of AS. |

| I'm certainly no expert but your chance (if you ever had one) has probably passed. At least that is what my experience in a similar situation was. But who knows - everyones different. You may as well go for it now though or figure out some way to try and get past it. If you have these feelings for h... |

| I may be the one of the few aspies who is a big sports fan. Oftentimes the sports can end up being my obsessions. Still I have very different opinions then most people do when I discuss them. I don't really like to play sports however, just watch. |

| I love nice cars and really appreciate them. If I had a real lot of money, I would own as many Porches and the like as I could fit in my garage. However I don't have a real lot of money so when it came time for me to actually buy a car myself, I bought a Hyundai Elantra. |

| I was annoyed the other night I am filled with desire to have sex with women yet have no natural ability to convince one to do that with me. So I can see where your coming from but I don't yearn to be asexual, that would be sort of boring and unhuman. I'd rather just figure out how to convince a wom... |

Believe me I can understand the problems you have faced; but I don't think having AS means you need to s... |

It's not the autism that is the problem. It is autism integrating with our society that is the problem.
Anyway I don't want the American dream. America is full of NT's and I really don't care about their stereotypical dream. I'm perfectly happy where I'm at. |

My friend has told me I'm like a 10 year old in a 25 year olds body.
It seems like as I was growing up I would be 2-4 years behind everyone else with certain "rites of passage" |

I honestly don't need someone to sign a certificate or something to say that these criteria fit me or that my brain operates like theirs does. When I first read about it I felt like Dorothy i... |
