| I kept thinking about your blog post. I understand the knee jerk reaction to the idea of aspies being labeled hostile for lack of a better word, "angry", but I also understand your response. I do not advocate name calling, but sometimes it does get frustrating to the point of saying someth... |

| I don't carry it, but I call it "silky". I have to have a blanket with silk around the edges so anytime I'm in bed I usually feel it between my toes and fingers. If I had a small version of silky, I would carry it around so I could touch it all the time but I can only find the queen bed si... |

| I enjoyed reading your blog post very much. You and I think very much alike, but I do not think it's a popular or respected viewpoint. I just spent almost 24 hours being attacked on a popular website for advocating for those with autism and autism parents, as I am both, with some of what you have sa... |

| As a child, I never cried. No matter how badly I hurt myself, I never cried. I also did everything I was supposed to all the time. Apparently I never went through a terrible two's stage. My parents would just tell me that it's time for bed, and off I'd go and put myself to bed for example. I know th... |

| I took the aspie-quiz and my aspie score was: 169 of 200, NT score: 40 of 200. So today I had my boyfriend take the aspie-quiz and he received aspie score: 37 of 200, NT score: 178 of 200. I see NT mentioned everywhere on here, and I searched online for information. I think that NT just means a regu... |

| I've had 3 IQ tests, all from when I was a teenager, ages 15 - 18. My score was 136. I think I would do horrible if I took one now. Not as quick as I used to be, much slower recall, much more limited vocabulary, etc. I believe this is due to cognitive issues related to a neurological disease that th... |

| It's much easier for me to communicate online, but still not easy for me to say hi so forgive me as I struggle with this post. I'm 36, a college student (physics major), and have struggled with social interaction all my life. I have never been sure of what to say and I'm fairly certain when I do say... |
