That's about the way to do it. If they're going to be rude, act like they totally beneath you.  |

| But there's lots of things that I wish I knew at school that I didn't know now, and school would've been infinitely more fun had I known all this. Agree completely. Don't get me started. :| I've only kissed one girl too. Somehow, apparently I'm not a bad kisser. That didn't make my day. That made m... |

| I've thought about this before - unless it's meeting friends of friends that you know you're never going to see again, I usually say it because I mean it. If I don't, I usually boil it down to a smile or a "heya" or something like that. Sometimes I feel like there's too many throw-away lines in conv... |

Attention seekers. Heh, I can imagine some people doing that.  Good to hear about your friend, Yameretzu.
There's only a couple of people I would tell - one I've known for 18 years, so he's seen the best and worst of me anyway...
Thanks guys. |

| I've been contemplating it on and off for the last 6 months (basically since I found out). I'm not particularly eager to let them know, but sometimes I think my reactions to some things can be explained a lot better if friends knew. There's also been a couple of points recently where it's been one o... |

| Quit poking me! Yeah, so I thought I should introduce myself. I was apparently diagnosed when I was 8, but I wasn't told until about 6 months ago (I'm now 22). I don't think it was because my parents were in any sort of denial, but I think they thought it'd be better for me to not put myself in a po... |

As above.
Personally none of my friends realise that I have Asperger's, and it's taken me until I was 19 or 20 to be able to socialise without inadvertantly giving any hints.
...heh. Now it doesn't matter as much... |
