| I have been at this website for about two months now, and since I came here, and from way before that, I have been wondering if I really have AS. I want to seek diagnosis, however, I am afraid that I am simply being a hypocondriac and will waste the doctor's time...So if you guys do not mind, I will... |

| I am currently a paper girl, with the aspiration to become a History professor. I may also profess in one of the sciences as well...which one, I don't know yet, but I am finding physics oddly interesting. I am a bit worried about becoming a professor though...I want to do it because I love to learn ... |

| I have the same problem. At first, it was only my French teacher who pointed it out, my monotone and my lisp...but I have always struggled with French pronounciation and whatnot so I blamed it on that. And thus, each oral presentation brought my mark down, with no end in sight. And then I did an Eng... |

| I am very distrustful of direct compliments...Like when people go up to you and directly say 'your work is so good', 'you're so smart'...They typically lead to 'can you help me with this question' (explaining things to other people borders painful for me) or 'whats the answer to this'...So when I ge... |

| Hey. I am fifteen and I live in Toronto, Canada. I am self d/x with Asperger's. I talk too much once I am comfortable with my surroundings. I can't give compliments though, and I forget as much as to give people cards on their birthdays (which are frivilious nonsense to me). I speak English, and I c... |

As for the remark that Osama is dodging bullets in Afghan... |

I wanted to give them the history of the Christian Church, but I got 'flustered' and decided to give in. In my opinion, and I really don't mean to off... |

However, within the clique, there is a hierarchy...I am in the middle of the hierarchy in mine only because there is a girl in my group who has the mentality of an eight year old (fact, not an insult)... |

| I think that Asperger's is a lot more common in girls than we are currently led to believe- however, I still think that boys have it more often than girls. Girls have a lot of social pressure to be a certain way. So do boys, however, I find that boys do not go to the extremes that girls do to fit in... |
