| not meaning to be rude, but to laugh at someone's beliefs is execrable. any sincere belief should be respected for its sincerity, even if you have issues with its validity. that said... now my turn. Don't forget that a satanist is just a pissed off christian. Satanists believe in god and jesus, but ... |

| The point is good, and valid, and I've not really been around here long enough to know the answer, but I do have some thoughts on the issue and a bit too much time on my hands. There are phil and political issues and there are practical and personal issues around diagnosis. There are also profession... |

| It was a trick question. The focus was on the word belief. I bet. People who unquestioningly believe in things, without unambiguous empirical evidence would score lower on my autiferous scale. Of course people who distrust empirical evidence are even hire than those who require it... ohh. It's all t... |

Luckily my colleagues at work are pretty aspie positive, and I can literally say "why are trying to hug me... want to make me feel uncomfortable or something" or "t... |

| Fun to remember. There were no goths back then, just a congregation of the strange, so we shared across more music styles than goths would. I liked how my friend, guitarist in our band, would call us... We were an IDR band... "intense, depressive realism". The bands I listened to would never be cons... |

I first took the test because I thought 2 of my friends were aspies, and we took the tests pretending to be them to see. Both have very surface aspie characteristics: one eccentric engineeri... |

There's much more sexual abuse and aggressiveness from the straight community than the reverse as far as I can tell. I don't remember se... |
