| I'm not sure if the subject text is completely accurate, and I'm not sure if I can explain clearly. There is this thing that occasionally happens when I talk to someone while drunk. I have something I want to say, but when I try to say it I'm kinda unable to get out a word for a long while (but maki... |

| I could probably use that word more often to appease the NTs. I do think that using sorry frequently makes the word less meaningful. When I watch sports and I see someone apoligize for hitting the net and winning a point (tennis or similar), I just think that's beyond ridiculous. Why should you apol... |

| I have some perfectionism issues that relates to knowledge as well as more concrete stuff. The person that diagnosed me with Aspergers also concluded that I did not have OCD. This was based on things I told her, but I'm not sure if I was able to communicate clearly to her the kind of issues I was ha... |

If you know the language, search for:
"Fru Blom" +
"Alex Brinchmann" +
"Per Aabel"
That's the basis for the "name". The second part of it is a more or less randomly chosen ending. |

| As an Aspie, my biggest challenge was probably to communicate well with the instructor during driving lessons. I remember that we went to an icy track to train for winter conditions. It had these obstacles that moved into the road, and I had a nasty tendency to crash into them. The instructor failed... |

| My experience of meetings with psychiatrists and similar is that it helps to be prepared and to have some motivation. If I understood correctly, some of your focus is on getting a job. If that is the goal, try to be conscious of some issue or something relating to that goal that you can discuss duri... |

| I'll start by discussing the classical "we don't understand irony/sarcasm" statement. Here is what I think. I think this mainly applies during speech. I believe that at least a significant portion of autistic people could be as good if not better than NTs at identifying those things in wri... |

| I'd suspect not. When I was in the teens, I was diagnosed with selective mutism. At that time, I wasn't really particularly interested in getting a diagnosis so I probably didn't tell the psychiatrists as much about myself as I could have. When I got diagnosed with Asperger's much later, I was at a ... |

I might be overly concerned with full-clearing zones and picking up low-value items to sell. -I have a slight disliking of spamming a spell/ability -I'm not exceptionally good, and don't like to ... |

| Thanks. I realized that looking for explanations of terms/vocabulary on this site didn't seem worthwhile, so I'll probably use Google when I'm uncertain from now on. |

| Hi, I fancy logical puzzles and computer games. I'll have a look around and see if I find some useful threads around here. Edit: Oh, BTW. Is there somewhere I can learn expressions that are used in the threads (meltdown etc.)? I feel that I might need to expand my vocabulary on frequently used terms... |
