Do you have a black&white logical straight line thinking mind that depends heavily on concrete and observable evidence or do you have a hyper associational mind that is constantly running from one thing that is somehow connected to the next to the next thing, and somehow connected to the next t...

thank you for the replies. good ones, gives me food for thought. barring knowledge being repressed/restricted by the "elite" (which has been an interest of mine).....i have always been a truth-seeker. probably just by having to make an effort to understand or make sense of the world around me, which...

to me that seems a little bit like inattention, maybe ADHD'ish. i have the same issue....my mind is elsewhere. or, just because i'm a "dreamy" person. you could be a absent-minded professor type. i know this is long after the original post. but, maybe paying attention to your thoughts when those thi...

i have the most awful time communicating. i guess i meant something like could someone appear normal on the outside, or blend in somehow, but the struggles on the inside are unseen? i'm asking because of myself of course, because i guess i've been able to blend in so far in life because people in th...

i think that if you want to do anything, you can do it. apparently the only thing to do with aspergers is coping, so maybe you don't need a diagnosis. have you read any books about aspergers? about how to cope with it, not just to try to determine if you do have it. and maybe, you don't need to focu...
