| My specialty is terrifying passengers, since I can't have someone in the car and drive well simultaneously. That would require multitasking, and I don't do that. |

| Yes, it has been a long time, but it's always nice to be welcomed. Anyway, if there is a statute of limitations on welcoming, I probably wouldn't know it! :) It's also nice to be called amazing--thanks Carasela! I haven't checked back with this forum much, and this is largely due to what hip66 calls... |

| Thank you all for your thoughtful and supportive responses. I have resolved to bring up the topic with his parents. I nearly did it! I bumped into him and his dad at the bookstore yesterday It should have been so easy to step into the child development section with the dad and ask him to thumb throu... |

| I stammer and make strange word substitutions too. I am still new to the revelation that I have Asperger's and so this is amazing to me that you all have the same quirks. The stammering used to appall me and was therefore much worse. I have a few techniques to sooth the stammer. 1) before a social s... |

| I am a landscape designer. It is sometimes hard because there are client interactions, but at those times I am in a role I am comfortable with--The Expert! Day to day mangement of a business is also hard for me. I don't have any employees which simplifies matters. I have also worked with varying suc... |

| One thing I am particularly interested in is the biology of Asperger's. Neurologically: I wonder what maintains Asperger's behaviors? Genetically: It seems that there is a genetic component to Asperger's, especially in my family where I, my brother, my mother, and my mother's father all have symptom... |

| I see differing amounts of light cast on ranges of numbers, but not so much color. For example, 0- 15 are very transparent but 73-89 are kinda opaque. Then they brighten up to about 140, and so on. |

| Thank you for your replies. Yes, I am a person with Aspergers which is part of the reason I am tip toeing on this issue. I feel that my communication skills might not be up to the task of introducing the unpleasant topic: I Think Your Child Has A Syndrome. I have known the parents for years through ... |

| My son has a friend who is clearly (to me) a child with Asperger's. He reminds me so much of myself at the age of 10, only more extreme in that he eats only about 4 food items, cannot pronounce the letter 'r', and is so easily frightened by new places and activities. My son likes him because they ha... |

| Hi all, I saw a list of Asperger’s characteristics in a parenting magazine and was astonished to see that my own personal bag of quirks was identified as a Syndrome. Took me decades to find out. I was diagnosed with ‘schizoid personality disorder’ nearly 20 years ago and sort of I wonder now if it w... |
