| You think you don't fit in anywhere because you've sent messages to people who aren't good with social situations, and they didn't respond? Consider that for a minute.. Say it was you, and someone read your blog, and thought "oh, that seems like a cool person" and sent you a message? How would you ... |

| Interesting to read - I never really thought about the learned aspect of it, but that is definitely true. Funny thing is that I'm learning to also have it online and not just IRL. The really funny (not so much) thing. I've left a few nice comments on people's blogs (asperger's) and sent what I thoug... |

| I'm a senior network engineer and if I had to recommend a basic overview approach, you really can't go wrong with the material required for the CCNA. Even though it's a vendor based certification, at that level the material that it focuses on is really just the basics of the technology. You'll maste... |

| It's like I just can't be better. I wish to lash out and hurt all those who hurt me, but I restrain myself all the time, I just can't have the last word, I am so afraid of hurting others. I know my words always get misunderstood, even if they don't mean to hurt. I really need to be able to forgive ... |

| His agenda is promoting the theory that "Aspies" are actually a hybrid race of humans and Neanderthals. This is creepy and kind of awesome at the same time. I've always kind of wished that the Neanderthals had survived so that we wouldn't be "alone". But, then I remember that our species probably w... |

| Even parents of Autistic kids have admitted that they feel extremely uncomfortable teaching them verbally what they can't pick up non-verbally, because it's admitting that society is a lot more phony than is usually acknowledged. I love that you said this. The truth in this statement is undeniable.... |

| I think the Aspie Quiz <snip> - can be quite accurate. It uses the same questions my psychologist asked me when I was diagnosed a few months ago. I'm curious what people think about the results from this quiz. Are there results from the quiz that are pretty much conclusive - and then lower results ... |

| Like some of the of the other posters, I'm going to go with constant talking. I was so quiet all day long at school that when I got home I just started talking, and wouldn't stop. I'd even follow my mom to the bathroom where I'd stand outside the door, and keep talking. I'd also talk the ears off o... |

Honestly, I always assumed that I was normal and couldn't figure out how BORED everyone else must be to not be spending all of their free time (and work time) becoming experts at whatever their... |
