| Yes it could be a result of aspergers. Memory is connected to executive functioning, and well being on the autistic spectrum usually means that function is impaired. I also have problems with some things dealing with memory such as remembering peoples faces(well remembering what most things look li... |

| I think probably a better albeit less ambitious idea is to bring those on spectrum together to form friendships, relationships, and do group activities together. It's out of that a community is built, you can't talk separatism when so many of us are so isolated from any sort of community. After you... |

| Here are some actual differences between the male and female brain, if you were curious, which it doesn't sound like you are No, I'm not. Why would I be and what does that have to do with this thread? You're the only person talking about gender no matter how many times I try to drive home that this... |

| I have a little theory. I'm okay if it goes under or up in flames. The DSM criteria was made by people observing a condition or state of being mostly from an outsiders perspective. Like, for me, an interesting question would be... What is behind these traits that manifest and can be observed? So fr... |

| While I think it's an attractive idea that a hypothetical autistic-only society could better accommodate all of our needs, I don't think it's actually possible, because we are all so different from each other. For example, I am hypersensitive to sensory stimuli. Things like noises and textures and s... |

| Yes it is based on stereotypes, there is nothing wrong with that. Men tend to have male type brains ergo their name. Women tend to have female type brains ergo their name. Again I really can't state this explicitly enough...."tend to" does not mean "always has", however I have a... |

| If a feminine boy can add his opinion, it sounds like a load of hooey to me. I can conditionally accept Chichikov's definitions; the condition is we need new language. We love our logic, but to call aspies unemotional overlooks something rather significant. Erm, meltdowns? I gave up on having a col... |

| That's not what it means, it's not related to physical gender. A "male type" brain (not a male brain) is better at logic and the practical and less good at the emotional. A "female type" brain (not a female brain) is better at the emotional and less the logical. They're called a... |

| Yeah. It would seem my viewpoint on it was exploited by another user for their own bias to be confirmed. Carry on. If you value personality over appearance as a defining factor good for you. I will continue to hold judgement on that based on my experiences with others and to a degree, my own thinki... |

| With no disrespect to the people posting, either they have a low set of standards or they are trying to say what people think sounds nice. I as an asexual develop romantic feelings as a big draw but even a level of ejoying aesthetics exists with in me. This all just sounds like drivel to appease th... |

| Very common indeed, for reasons already addressed by others out here. It's a tough life for an aspie. On top of Asperger's, I was professionally diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. (Though I'm not 100% sure that last one wasn't a mistake in my case.) When I was younger, before they knew ab... |

| I love bobs. They're low maintenance, cute, and fun. I always cycle between a sort of mid-length bob and long hair. I tend to miss my short hair after a while. When I first get it cut, it is also super fun to play with, and it feels all healthy, and I love to shake my head around to get some movemen... |

| I disagree about Castiel. I know he's an angel, but then again, so is Gabriel... And so is Anna... They don't strike me as autistic, but Castiel does. I would speculate that he has some sort of angel Asperger's, which is more common than human Asperger's... Just a theory I like, though. Maybe it's j... |
