| weetbix with butter and vegemite and cheese. Except vegemite just got banned in the USA for having too much folate. I thought folate was good for you. Anyway, a good substitute is promite. However when I run out of milk - I just ditch the weetbix for wholemeal toast - much nicer with butter and prom... |

| I thought most therapists / "students of human behaviour" were aspies. They study human behaviour academically because that is the only way they can understand it. And they still get things wrong from time to time when they encounter a client that doesn't fit what they know. And if by some mischance... |

| The fastest person gets through the lift door first. Being female - sometimes some "gentleman" who happens to be closer to the elevator door - says "after you" all gentlemanly like - and the damn lift goes without letting anyone through the door. If you're going to be "gentlemanly" - do force the do... |

| I think the major PDA thing - is often when two people are besotted with each other - they can't keep their hands (and mouths) off each other and they don't care what anyone else thinks. They sometimes even enjoy other people's embarrassment - and think of it as envy. They imagine because they feel ... |

| It's good to like your job. It is especially good to say you like your job to your boss, and anyone who might talk to your boss - like your co-workers. If there are other jobs around that you think you might like too - it is helpful to say that too - because versatility is useful - if someone else l... |

Or she might have been cold and hugging her partner/friend to warm up. She may have been hoping that you'd finish up - buy and/or leave - so she could talk to her partne... |

| I believe it is about even. However more effort (by parents and family) is put into teaching girls to behave properly - socially. So Aspie girls learn to hide their Aspergers much quicker than boys. So Tony Attwood (http://www.tonyattwood.com.au) says - the ratio in diagnosing children is about 4 bo... |

God? (Is there a God?) needs people who can focus on what needs doing without getting distracted by emotional and social crap.
And I thought I got my Aspergers from my parents. |

However - that doesn't fit so well with the cat model - except that dogs (that haven't been trained not to) like to kill cats. So s... |
