I found the percussion section much easier than playing a trumpet or other instrument. Most percussion is about timing and rhythm instead of getting the right notes |

We are all a part of the HUMAN race, just different skintone shades. |

Hard to say. When reading it myself, I went back and forth between Aspergers and HFA. I'm kinda leaning towards Aspergers, because the two in "Mozart and the Whale" are both Aspies. |

Hallo! I knew that. Been to NL, but not Friesland....I want to, someday. It's where my dad's ancestors came from.
I visited NL in July 2001: A-dam, R-dam, Hilversum, and Haarlem. Wasn't long enough of a trip to explore the country more. |

Hey! I'm also in MN, just turned 34.
The Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) has monthly meetings for Aspergers adults, you might want to try it. I went for awhile, but just haven't been back the last 3 years because of schedule changes. |

There are other ways to do it. Drugstores sell ear wax removal kits. It is a bottle of oily solution and a bulb syringe. (Or you can buy the solution separately.) 1. Get an old towel and spread it out on a pillow. 2. Lay your head on the towel-covered pillow. 3. Open the solution bottle, and put the... |

I LOVE iCARLY! I'm 33, my 34-y/o NT fiancee got me hooked. He has cable tv at his parents' house, so I watch his DVDs. Gotta say I love Spencer the most. His spontanaeity and artistic creativity are outrageous. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I feel slightly envious. Most of the actors are on Twitter... |

Fruits Basket, all the way. I never really got into manga or anime, even with all the kids I knew who loved Sailor Moon and others. A couple years ago, a friend/coworker invited me to watch Fruits Basket at her house. I got so hooked, I asked to borrow the rest of it and finished watching them by my... |

I am less than impressed with their financial reports. Last report I read states that only 23 cents of every dollar raised goes to the research they say they are raising funds for. There are many charity watch dog groups and not a single one recommends Autism Speaks. US Better Business Bureau Autis... |

As I type, mine's just a cropped picture of Dobby, swiped from the Internet Movie Database site for "Harry Potter & Chamber of Secrets." I loved him! I've also had avatars of Chuckie (Tommy Pickles's best friend on "RugRats") because he seems to be a little Aspie himself. As one of the older tod... |

Hey, guys! Anybody else in the TC area, or at least MN state? Wondering if any of you attend the monthly Aspie Adults group at AuSM -- Autism Soc. of MN -- in Edina (4th Thursdays). I haven't attended yet but might go in September. Would be nice to know someone already -- at least by name -- but if ... |
