| I have been told that I am easy to recognize because: 1. I walk faster than most people that just walk casually. 2. I walk with my head down most of the time. 3. When I do look up, it is at a level higher than peoples' heads, like at the sky, trees, tops of buildings. 4. I bump into things a lot. Ne... |

I believe it is a myth, but I might be one of the people that is helping to perpetuate it 
My psych profile states that my math ability is "beyond known measurement parameters." AND I DO NOT REALLY LIKE MATH THAT MUCH. Well . . . except for theoretical physics and logic.

| I had my brain fried with Thorazine and Haldol for a number of years. I hated it. Now I am on SSRIs (Prosac) for OCD and depression, and Trazadone for depression and to help me to sleep through the night. Before trazadone, I would go to sleep and wake up 45-90 minutes later with my mind racing. I wo... |

I am intersexed but really do not make a distinction between that and trans. Check out my YT channel. It might help you to get connected. http://www.youtube.com/aragonpr

Yes I do. Like others here, part of it is to avoid contact with people. But, most importantly, it is to get from one place to another in the most efficient way possible.

| You're kidding, right? The Nena from 99luftballons(Nena Kerner) was born a woman, looks quite a bit different, is german, and probably still has a german accent. Also, I don't think Nena Kerner has AS. HERE is the Nena from 99luftballons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nena Daniel simply noticed that... |

| Thank you Nena. This video on Why has been of great use for a friend and I. Thank you. Do you have a Facebook account, are you open to stranger friends? Don't feel pressured... I joined Facebook a while back, mainly because a friend of mine had developed a program that was offered there and I wante... |

| Are you Nena? She rocks like someone with Autism rather than Asperger's in the video. From everything that I've read, adults with Asperger's rarely do such. Yes. I am Nena. I have rocked all of my life. Most of the time I am unaware of it. I tend to rock when I am upset or under stress and also whe... |

| Like the video says, the stacking often is viewed as cute by parents but as it persists they tend to become progressively more concerned about it. Thus, I do not think that a parent starts out with a reaction like OMG my kid is stacking . It also seems that the diagnosis itself makes many parents hy... |

Why apologize? If the video does not speak to you, then so be it.
