Thanks for the poll responses. Please keep them coming! FYI, I'm not a doctor or a scientist in medicine, so forgive me if I don't use the right terminology. Please use this post as a starting point for further research. I'll try to describe my understanding of migraines as best I can. Migraine head...

I'm fortunate to be associated with people studying migraine headaches, and the characteristics that cause Autism/AS may be the same as those that cause migraines. Please aswer yess i...

Many of us are voracious readers. I'd like to add a forum where members can recommend books on non-Autism or Asperger's material. If it was me, I'd have the title and author of the book in the title of the post. Any comments on the book in the body of the post, and no responses or replies allowed. T...

This is a quote from The Big Short , by Michael Lewis. Mr. Lewis is quoting Dr. Michael Burry, who has been diagnosed with AS.

Yo Brandon, Yes you have AS. That makes you very lucky, but it also means you have some hard work ahead. The real world is a vibrant, beautiful, complicated, wonderful, dangerous, exciting mess. Learn to embrace it. If you can't see a purpose in life, it means you have the opportunity to create one ...

First post everybody. I'm very new to AS and NT, so I'm still struggling with the basics. The first one is why the range of social behavior runs from normal to AS. Is there such a thing as over-socialized, beyond NT? Example 1, I would argue that any AS, when presented with the evidence, would agree...
