If he could, it wouldn't be a real Legend of Zelda game. |

I just read an interesting article on The New York Times' website about a possible connection between low levels of thyroid hormone and depression or high levels of thyroid hormone and anxiety. Just thought I'd share! Edit: Depending on... |

| I could really use some support from someone who has had to tell a loved one about this. My fiancée and I have been together almost three years and I just recently found out about having Asperger's a few weeks ago. I've been planning this conversation about ever since I was diagnosed. I even have n... |

| Since Aspies are diverse in the expression of their symptoms, I think it is important that you don't use every symptom or aspie trait available to describe the character. Perhaps he has a special interest, but doesn't stim. Maybe he has a language difficulty, but it manifests in awkwardly formal spe... |

| It will eventually work if none of the major players in the middle east collapse. The biggest problem with the two-state solution is that both parties want the same land--Jerusalem. So when both sides see reason and come up with a compromise, say, making Jerusalem international territory so everyone... |

Many of their advertising campaigns that I have seen emphasize... |

| I have always had that problem. Until I learned what ASDs were, I thought it was a result of my nonverbal learning difficulties, but prosopagnosia (the inability to recognize faces) and prosopamnesia (the inability to remember them) are apparently really common (relatively speaking, of course) among... |

| A psychologist. A lot of NTs don't understand Asperger's well enough to recognize it, but there are also a lot of Aspies who desire kinship enough that they will attempt to give an amateur diagnosis to anyone they see as different from NTs. Neither group is qualified to make a diagnosis/decision wit... |

But she always told me that if I didn't act like I was stupid, people would hate me and I would have to be a waitress for the rest of my life. With the power of hindsight, I belie... |
