| I did not know how to tie my shoes until I was 8 years old. Right after my grandfather died, I suddenly knew how. No practice needed. Strange. |

| I have been playing bass for more than 3 1/2 years now, for my own amusement. Last May, I bought a defretted five string bass, and have neglected my previous five string bass. But the keyboard is my main instrument. I like to make up melodic bass lines. There is zero chance I will ever play in publi... |

| I like playing the piano using rhythms like 3 against 5, 4 against 7.... pretty much any combination. Just takes a little coordination... Anyone can do it if they desire to... Perhaps many can do it naturally. I myself had to work at it. I started not being able to play 2 against 3. Written many pie... |

Aspergers usually are known as little professors, 9 out or 10 have no language delay, usually have an average ... |

| I've taken both. Seroquel is pretty dangerous. I would hope that they would find something else for panic attacks, given that even most of the rest of the psych drugs are less dangerous than the neuroleptics. And Neurontin is not intended for anxiety. It's been over-marketed for just about everythi... |

I think its their potential that bugs me out at first, if I find I'm getting a good rapport with them things are cool - but then taking it another level; if someone's got a crushing social handshake its tough for me to keep at level.

Since I doubt even 5% of us are actually diagnosed worldwide they're underestimating the autistic population radically. A VERY small percentage of adults actually get diagnose... |
