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... |

I just received this and hope it interests others... supporting ASD research through music sounds like a good idea.

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... |

OK... I got reverd here by another forum. The admin asked me if I suffer from "Aspergers Syndrome". I didn't even know what it is, so I went and googled it. All I've read so far is this . Hello, and welcome :) Excuse my directness, but - how weird to get referred here from another forum, may I ask ... |

I share an interest in computers and programming. I'm about to learn SML. Hi, nice to meet you! I'm not sure what SML is. 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" |
