| Hi from California, Hi Dave, welcome to WP! I'm 25 and from Denmark. My journey into AS started just months ago with mostly the same suspicions as yours. I was reading the book "Dreaming in Code" where It describes it as very common among computer programmers (which I am currently studying and enjo... |

| My first phone was a GSM device so I can't talk about anything that came before, but I have to admit that the cell sizes have been slowly degrading ever since where I live too. It didn't have any effect on the number of bars though - they are almost always at full wherever I go (which is mostly urba... |

| It was a gameing forum. Funny, how such an innocent discussion can plant the idea of you having AS in someone. Don't get me wrong, but I would never suggest such a thing without having met the person "in person". Even then, I guess I'm to prejudiced and could possibly see traits in everyone, so I w... |

| Wow, I've not been told any of them!! ! At least one word was always different. Seriously though: 1. I think you may be asexual... No - but I haven't heard anyone, ever, mention the word asexuality. But I overheard strangers calling me gay (directly), aquaintances calling me gay (indirectly), and fr... |

| Hi Graelwyn! I can relate to what you write. First of all, I don't have a formal diagnosis (yet), but I read a lot of books about AS, self-diagnosed, and got my suspicions confirmed by a specialist on ASDs. So, while I'm not in doubt myself, you are allowed to read my writings with a grain of salt o... |

| Hi Bightme, welcome! :) I'm also 25 and quite new too. Oh, I'm from Denmark. I had quite the opposite experience, I read so much about AS, that I was quite sure of my self-diagnosis before even talking to a specialist who confirmed it. Good luck in coming to terms with your diagnosis. Remember, it's... |

Hello, and welcome :) Excuse my directness, but - how weird to get referred here from another forum, may I ask ... |

Does it stand for "Service Modeling Language" or "Standard ML" or something else here? This "Jante Law" is not doing anything for Denmark except turn the country into Ayn Rand's... |

Sorry, I meant a full diagnosis of suffering from "thread-killeritis"  |
