| No. I don't feel like talking, but I'm bored. I'd like to see people not be so afraid of living, loving, learning, giving and..... losing and dying. I wish people would think of something to do that would make them very happy, today, and do it. I wish they would try it, again, tomorrow. Pursue happi... |

| Pathetic. Sounds a little narcissitic. Forget about the world revolving around you for a minute. I used to think the same way. Accept yourself, and let others figure out if they like you or not. Who cares if they like you or not? Not everyone will. Accept this. Be who you are, and see if you can lik... |

| Here we go, again. Asperger's doesn't cause me any problems. Socially, cognitively or otherwise, I don't have a problem with me; other people have a problem with me. Is it because of Asperger's? I don't think so. People have problems with people, period. I'm white and some blacks have a problem with... |

| No. I don't generally hate anyone. People don't have that much power over me. I schedule margin in my daily routines to compensate for unexpected events. I expect people to be selfish, greedy, and concerned about their own needs and wants. Try helping others succeed, invent something to improve effi... |

| It's like being asked what it's like being a guy, or being black. What point of reference do you use? You're either a guy or not. You're either black or not. I'm a guy, and I'm not black, and I don't know how to explain what it is like not being either. I've never lived as a woman, so I don't know h... |

But, she took the tapes with a thank you. She was in a German class I was teaching. I still didn't know, unt... |

| Just because a person does not socialize much, does not make them an Aspie anymore than smiling make someone a happy camper. My point is to ask yourself why you think this diagnosis would help you to change your plight. Try changing your diet to a whole foods plant-based diet. I am diagnosed with As... |
