Basically if you aren't ASD enough you won't get hired for a developer job... intentionally combining Aspie powers against something analytic... |

This is the video that started my interest in "strange" stop-motion, and music that has odd time signatures. The dubstep video sort of has some of the same elements. That and the thin... |

| I recently figured out I really like (good) dubstep... wondering if that is sort of an aspie thing, nonstandard instruments and all the crazy time signature changes and general frenetic style of it. This video fascinates me, how about you all? I think this one also speaks to me due to the beginning-... |

Something like Pavlov's experiment, except when you heard the bell it wouldn't be your mouth that was salivating? |

Took it once at a rave (from a reputable source and brought it with, not from random dealer at the rave or in the parking lot or anything), before I even suspected I was Aspie... |

| I'm definitely not gay, and I have his same issues. My ex-wife used to try and accuse me of being gay, it's very hurtful when you absolutely know you aren't.

I have Photoshop 1.0.7 for MacOS 6 on a floppy somewhere. Basically, MS Paint is more powerful!
I also had a 8" floppy disc, exactly like the 5.25" ones just supersized. I think they held something huge like 800KB? lololol! |

| The thing about this is that I am not pretending to be NT or making an effort to emulate NT behavior. That certainly wasn't any intended implication of what I wrote, so if you have interpreted it in that way, I would politely suggest that you put such ideas to the back of your mind and read it agai... |

Mine basically doesn't work unless I'm alone, or with someone I don't have feelings for (it's non-consequential so no anxiety = huge stiffy and no problems). It seems counterintuitive but it's the honest trut... |

| Police work also requires acuity in reading body language, detecting lies, etc. It is obvious that they train this (in the USA anyway) because every time I get pulled over for speeding or whatever minor infraction, I start with hand tremors and anxiety and can't control it very well, so I appear "ag... |
