| Hello, The episode was done in February of 1963, but the main character, Charlie Parkes, seems to fit the bill for AS: doesn't fit in in a working environment, socially withdrawn, doesn't emotionally reciprocate, difficulty expressing emotions, lack of romantic relationships. I thought to recommend ... |

| Accountant is what I suggest. Numbers are where it is at for Aspies and stay away from professions involving social skills like teaching and acting and IMHO, yes, being a heart surgeon.(I really didn't look forward to seeing the Aspie heart surgeon on Grey's Anatomy for various reasons.) |

| That's not a good example because Anarchism was VERY effective in the Spanish Civil War No kidding. A lot of people assume because fascism won the Spanish Civil War means that is a failure of anarchist Spain. This is clearly not the case, and it shows a horribly vague understanding of that period i... |

| Suppose that you and some woman have a discussion or some sort of misunderstanding. Depending on how vicious the woman is, she can call the cops and tell them that you beat her up or tried to rape her. The cops will arrive and promptly arrest you, no questions asked. If you are charming and articul... |

| The rights of Gay people have nothing to do with the rights of Autistic people, unless you are both Gay and autistic. Homosexuality is not a mental difference. Homosexuality is another matter that is not relevant to this discussion and the rights of Autistic people aren't affected by Prop. 8 at all... |

| Would mass-murderes be as dangerous if they didn't have firearms? Could that Virginia Tech guy have killed all those kids if he'd had a slingshot or a a bunch of rocks to throw? Guns don't kill people, that's right. People with guns kill people. Unfortunately for all of us, a gun doesn't have a con... |

Since GWBush took over, they've been preaching against the peer pressure to have sex as well... how is that working out? ... |

Look, you don't need to fit in with society right now. Just try to fit in with other social deviates like us, Aspies and then you can deal with mainstream society.
Go join an Asperger/Austism group and discuss your problems with the people there. |

Something like: Are you treated as being gay by NTs? 1. Yes, but I am gay. 2. Yes, but I'm treated as I am gay. 3. No. They know someth... |
