| I wonder how much of the "lack of empathy" junk is related to the following problem. Folks with ASDs are known to have different priorities, and perceptions to others. Therefore, it makes sense that we would experience different emotions related to a particular situation than NTs. For example, I lik... |

| I have ordinal linguistic personification, and personify many inanimate objects in general. I also have a kind of synesthesia that involves being able to taste emotions or impressions on occasion. It's more common for me when I'm stressed. A certain kind of anxiety tastes like bananas, fear with rag... |

| Hello, I'm new to this and I am confused. I just found out yesterday that my husband might have Asperger's Syndrome. That would explain ALOT! We have been married for 3 years and we have a young daughter together. He has always seemed like a jerk who doesn't care. He has been verbally abusive at ti... |

| Please don't take this personally, but what is your question and particular problem, exactly? I mean are you wondering if you should leave him? (doubtful any of us can answer that) Are you wanting to better understand him? (perhaps you should just ask him, or do some research) Are you wanting to cha... |

| How well do you manage change? Changes in daily schedule, or moves, or changes in relationships or work? This might push you more towards Schizoid than ASD. -just a thought!! :) I'm not bothered by my isolation at all, but I feel like I should be. The only time my lack of social skill annoys me is i... |

| Realizing that this is an old thread and that perhaps nearly no one will even read this. . . . I will reply anyway. First off, IQ tests do seem to reliably measure something. Although no one quite agrees on what it is exactly, few people dispute that it does measure some forms of intelligence, when ... |

| A relative was diagnosed with Schizoid personality disorder last year. I am expecting a diagnosis of an ASD later this month. I have come to realize that a major difference between the two of us is that I crave to be understood, and to be set free from my present state. I long to be able to relate t... |

I'm an old ultima II person that quit online gaming for a long time then dabbled in WoW for a weekend, (by dabbled I mean that I wasn't bathing, or going outside), but just couldn't tolerate the wolf killing. I'd like to play an elf or... |
