| I'm often conscious of being bullied, or more often just subtly disrespected by people whom I consider beneath respect, themselves. I get very, very angry and the anger comes back whenever I think about it, but in the moment I'm always too anxious or clueless to say anything. Sometimes I'd love to j... |

| I don't think there's a better name for it than "riffing". That's what really messes with me in social interactions. It's when people abandon logic and meaningful communication for some kind of light-hearted and superficial saturnalia that everyone but me finds easy and amusing. Most people would ca... |

| I haven't read it, but I read an aspie's review about it here: http://www.rogernmeyer.com/Hubert_Cross/Asperger%27s_Syndrome_and_Making_Sense_July_2002.htm He says it's really depressing, but a natural counterbalance to authors like Temple Grandin who may paint a dangerously rosy picture of a life o... |

| I have an impulse to resurrect this thread on this lazy Sunday. I've modified my views on drugs a little, and I don't see many people saying the following in quite the same way. I still think drugs should be legal because it's your business what you put into your body. But an argument for the illega... |

| I like to tell jokes, but they're terrible. I think they're f*in' funny, though. What do you give people who've lost loved ones in the Hindenburg crash? Your blimpathies. What kind of houses do proctologists live in? Bungalows. A priest and a rabbi walk into a bar. The bartender explosively soils hi... |

Yeah! But Guillermo Del Toro tried for many years and I think let it go a few years ago. Something like he couldn't get enough investors. |

Quote: Psychiatrists are wolves. Make sure everything you say is appropriate now that you know that fact.
Eh, some are, I guess. Don't let them push drugs on you that you don't want, and don't tell them things that might be construed as dangerous to anyone unless you know them pretty well. |

| Can someone break this down for me, aspie-intellectual style? I've never bothered to notice this until now: a lot of people freaking LOVE going to Disneyland and I just don't get it. It's a novel experience, sure, but I notice many people seem to regard going there the same way an alcoholic looks at... |
