| One of my close friends who is also on the spectrum has a tendency to snap at people, especially their friends. (I worry that I've made a topic about this before but my memory sucks sigh). Most of the time it's not serious or nasty. It's just that in just about any conversation I have to worry abou... |

Some organisations, led by people who know about Aspergers, go out of their way to recruit people with our condition.
However, all to often this is to exploit them. Be careful!! |

| Ya, I get extremely awkward when in the nut section, or occasionally when deciding on what chocolate to buy. I don't know if it's to do with information overload - all the choices. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamias, brazil nuts, cashews, peanuts... dried, salted, peeled, sugared, with shells... m... |

| I think you forgot something important here. Every species has their own preferences for how males and females go about courtship & mating, and if you break the rules, you get excluded. Now, if the rules say males cannot form coalitions, those that do anyway won't get to mate. If the rules say ... |

| It is strange how quanta work. The particle-wave duality and experimental tests of Bell's Theorem both point to how unified, and yet schizo, reality actually is. The universe has only one unified wave-function. People who enter extreme forms of altered consciousness often report experiencing the un... |

| We see what we look for. An Aspie on a lectern concisely presenting a business seminar will not look weird, whereas the same person, alone in a crowd, who might show signs of nervousness, will. The sad fact is people with Asperger's tend to be in settings and circumstances that make others more apt ... |

| Happy to be Newton @tensordyne but who will be Hawking and Einstein...? Just a thought on your last point, about speed. I think the notion of 'an object moving through space' is ambiguous. I mean, look at light. Does it's 'speed' change when an object rushes alongside? In what sense, then, does ligh... |

| To Keep America Great. Look at any economic measure and compare that to previous presidents. Okay nobody is perfect but with Trump you have someone who wants the best for AMERICA, and who isn't in league to people you can't see. This is a patriotic president, who is willing to stand up to huge power... |

| Amidst the crazed Trump-bashing you seem to have lost sight of the fact that America has national borders for a reason, like any other country, and the inference that the President is picking out those with medical issues is just insane. The issue is more to do with the fact that some come to Americ... |

| All the time!! The worse thing about it is we don't usually even know we've done it until much later, if at all, or unless somebody points it out - and even then, it can be argued that we were just being open and saying our minds. Short comments are actually not too bad. When you start veering into ... |

Well the usual response to the Labrador reference was a mention of how much I eat (anything, within reason) and apparently I was cute and had a nice smile. Notice that I use past tense; the horse term took over from the Labrador several years ago  |
