| In effect, initially I was thinking about diagnosis in order to get recognition and respect, maybe benefits; but then I do not know exactly how these things work: maybe I would be treated as an handicapped, especially by the people who are ignorant about these condition, eventually resulting in los... |

| Well, I think it's just because we have such a hard time understanding the social rules, that we worry endlessly if we've broken any. I myself have obssessed over the smallest of percieved social infractions on a pretty regular basis. I try not to if I can. I can't answer why we are like this, but ... |

| Maybe, I'm not supposed to but I laughed. I dug the weird, wired--clever. Word play always good! I dug the "He smells like pepperoni!" The doodle vs. washing machine was brilliant! thanks for making me smile after a very straight-faced day. |

Learn to shut up and listen, or at least "pretend" to listen. Say, make believe you are a sage, and nod knowingly, cryptically.
Being cryptic? Man, that would be pretending! |

| My wife says I only see things in black and white; right and wrong. I could not take the towels. And the q-tip thing would really bother me, too. Everything has to be fair and square. I don't know if I personally want to modify that, or loosen up my conscience. I don't think that I'd take up lying a... |

| What a coincidence! I too doodle (thus the kingdoodle). However, not quite on your level--great stuff (I visited your sight!) I have thought for nearly half my life that I was the way I was because I was a failed artist (monetarily challenged--a source of constant anguish for my wife and sons.) But ... |

| I'm a undiagnosed Aspie. I stumbled onto WP and found I wasn't alone. I'm in my fifties and have recently discovered I'm in the spectrum. Looking back at life things now make sense. I wish I knew then what I know now. Things might have been different. Perhaps I would have been aware of why I was rea... |

Thanks.
We did not wish to pursue diagnosis any further. A bit like a balding man going into his barber to see if he is, in fact, really going bald. |

| Hello, I am new to wrongplanet. I have a question that i know only you folks can help me with. My wife and I reached the conclusion that I am in the Spectrum. My wife suspected for years that something wasn't quite "right." So, several years ago (seven years, my wife tells me--I'm not too good with ... |
