Its a scarry thing what a few people can do when they feel offended by wh... |

| OK, I'm a woman, I'm not shallow, I'm reasonably attractive, I don't want to go out to bars every night, I don't give a damn whether or not my friends think I'm dating someone cool or not. I'm not interested in winning social points. I have Aspergers, but most of the women I know don't and they're n... |

| Hair twirling is a stim. However, a lot of non-autistic individuals stim to some extent: hair twirling, foot tapping, lip biting and so on. So the fact that someone twirls hair a lot doesn't really tell you anything about whether or not they're autistic. |

| Big problems with noise. No problem with lights or visual stimuli at all so I can't help with that. For the noise I invested in a pair of Peltor Optime III ear defenders, which are brilliant, and which I would recommend to anyone. |

| I used to go riding every week from aged 9 to about 17. Would love to do it again at some point but it's expensive and I decided that singing lessons were more important to me. I still love horses though. Amazing creatures. |

| I have a mild preference for "autistic" but I'm not too fussed - I'm not going to get mad at someone who uses a different term. I'm most bothered by the mentality which changes terminology every three months for the same condition because certain people decide that the old term is now suddenly offen... |

| Certainly these images get more severe for me when I'm depressed. When depression gets really bad they start to take over. |

| Oh yeah, I have a whole bunch of these. I imagine a noose tightening around my neck, or a knife going through my abdomen. I don't think it's healthy but it's sort of automatic. This kind of obsessive imagery has been known to contribute towards meltdowns/panic attacks. |

| I couldn't get past the drivelling about tarot and astrology. It looks as though it's another vague profile of "every category fits everyone a bit." Much like astrology in fact. |

| Neither of my parents is diagnosed but both have pretty strong AS traits. My dad is the stereotypical aspie in many respects: reclusive; logical; doesn't give a damn what he looks like; always speaks his mind; was a fanatical trainspotter in his youth. My mum has serious social issues, lacks empathy... |

| I don't think there will be one. This isn't a simple prejudice, like racism. The colour of a person's skin has no impact on their competence to rule a country. Asperger's Syndrome, as much as I wouldn't be without it, does. An aspie president who has executive dysfunction, face blindness, a habit of... |
