| again, I'm not actually sure. they sort of stick around in my head. I guess they seem more realistic than most fictional characters. they're flawed like real people, but not as gritty and dark as many other characters created by authors trying to make them lifelike. do you like to read for fun? do y... |

| this is definitely the place to see more of what asd look like. there must be thousands of users. my special interest used to be astronomy. (that's where the internet name comes from. Luna for moon, and Aquarius for the lunar module that saved the lives of the Apollo 13 crew. it's certainly better t... |

| well, asd really varies from person to person. for example, my friend and I both have asd. he loves talking to people (even though he isn't very good at it), but really hates doing new things. I like trying certain new things, but hardly ever speak to people outside my family. I guess the main thing... |

| In my experience, if you tell someone you have autism, they see you differently immediately. I'm not really sure why, but they stop seeing you as equal to them. They don't necessarily see you as something less than whatever they are, but it's definitely different. For example, I told someone years a... |

| I wouldn't say it's specific to those on the lower end. I'm on the higher end, and I do it.
