| I have a friend who is a "Friend" (i.e. Quaker) but she is an NT so I doubt that she even knows this forum's existance. Sorry. |

| I think the general public believes that mathematics is static, rigid and set much like the motion of the earth around the sun: predictable. From my perception of mathematicians (and the general scientific community both applied and theoretical), I think that there is a fear of being ostracized. The... |

Thank you all for the welcome. It is good to feel comfortable inside my skin here. I have seen some interesting discussions and it makes me appreciate how diverse Aspies are.  |

| Good evening, I am new to Wrong Planet but not to AS. I was diagnosed years ago, and have been through CBT (cognative-behavorial therapy), as well as mentoring and years of practice. The downside is that I am still just learning to read NTs, and there are some things I will never be able to do. I ac... |

| All people, Aspies and NTs have self-esteem, egos, fears, doubts, and pride. Anyone who denys that is not being forthright. As with ALL communities, not just NTs but Aspies as well, there are unwritten rules. Even if you follow the rules some people will not like what you say. Thats ok. You cannot p... |

| My opinion, 3 points: First, Aspies aren't very good at processing NT humor. I am no exception. Much of it appears to be designed to shield feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem so it seems critical or self-deprecating. Next, Two Broke Girls is based upon the premise that two silicone enhanced ... |

| Have you considered that NTs do not operate the same way from a feedback response perspective? There are over 2000+ languages in the world, each linked to a separate culture and geographic nuance. In some parts of the world shaking your head side by side means no and in others yes. This concept of a... |

| Good morning Nobody's Home. Technically you are accurate. You are part of the tree and we gentile believers are grafted on branches. I am ok with being a branch because if I am connected to Jesus then I am alive. Besides I can also see the centuries of connotations (some negative) that identifying y... |

Although they can operate in many ways in most settings they perform specific repetitive tasks. Second, emotions in a ... |

| Good evening, Everyone has expectations, hopes and dreams. In our case as Aspies we can only fulfill some of what the NT tells is valuable (such as fulfilling work, learning, etc.) but not others (being the super-popular smooth operator with all the interpersonal skills and relationships at our fing... |

| I am a combat vet and served in the Army prior to diagnosis. I would say this: if you are willing to face and learn to endure stress then it isn't a bad life. I liked the structure and the purpose. On the flip side combat radically changes your life and there is a lot you will be carrying in your ru... |

| Resubmitted due to typos. Sorry. I am a Christian and an Aspie. As for the cultural interpretations of "born-again" I see no point in getting hung up on that point as the Lord will separate the sheep and goats. I don't think he will ask denomination or congregation as much as do we love him as we ar... |

| Good evening. I am new to this forum but have been diagnosed for over 5 years so I hope I am not being presumptious by replying. I would say this: if by math you mean the patterns and relationships that exist between physical and imaginary elements within this dimension then I would say that math in... |
