| Dear old friend, I am sorry but it seems we can no longer be friends. The past few times we have spoke, you have rang and left a message stating 'that we must catch up soon'.

| Say if I had a friend who I heard from nearly every day and I had another friend who I only heard from occasionally, would it be safe to say that I was closer to the friend I heard from more often? Please discuss. Experiences. Share & stuff. I understand why you would think this. The more time ... |

| If the question were asked 10 years ago, I would of said something like 'i have many friends and i am hardly ever alone'. People may have asked 'how i was?' and in return i too 'would ask something about what is going on in their life?' (from when we last spoke), but i now realized that this does no... |

Aspies use the same area in the brain for logic (i.e working out maths problems or designing algorithms) as they use for social skills. In other words when aspies socialize they do not use the social neural networks in the bra... |
