| Think about what kind of person you are because of Asperger's. Right-brain "artistic" or "emotional" person (Leonardo DaVinci) or a left-brain "logical" person (Dr. Spock / Leonard Nimoy)? How does Asperger's affect you? (It has been said that Steven J. Cannell, who wro... |

| I should probably add that laptops probably use the OS they came with (Windows) for the life of the laptop. Desktop / tower computers may have enough power for the next version of Windows, but if not, they can be repurposed and used with Linux, and do just fine for office applications, web surfing a... |

| I have always used tower computers. From my very first, which was a 40 MHz 386 I bought in April 1992. I put some files on floppy disks when we worked in groups in certain college classes (I don't think many students had laptops back then). I graduated in June 1997. (Funny story, when I first starte... |

| For the first 4 or 5 years of my life, my parents owned a 4-family apartment building and lived in one of the units (this would be 1966-1970). I remember a couple of toys, and Christmases. I also remember playing in the yard. I think I also remember watching "NASA animation" of astronauts ... |

But children are at the end of a long road - finding the right person to marry, having income and housing that would support children, having time to spend with them, learning to relate to them.... But since I just turned 51 years old, and I've never even been on a date with a woma... |

Men and women exonerated [often because of DNA innocence] and released from US prisons, and falsely accused/abused people (false rape accusations against Duke lacrosse players in 2006 or people abused by priests or Jerry Sandusky)... |

| Yes, Aspies can drive. Although in my case, I don't have the natural "filter" that stops me from doing stupid things. I have a fantastic sense of safety - I will drop conversations or other activities when I need to concentrate on safe driving. But sometimes I do stupid things: 1. Driving ... |
