| Has anybody else with Aspergers seen this in 3D? I ask because for the 1st time with a 3D movie I really struggled, and wondered if it could have anything to do with the way my brain interprets visual information, or whether it's just to do with my eyes. I found that unless I made of conscious decis... |

| I've done it a few times, normally with films that are heavy in symbolism since I struggle to decipher it myself. One example that comes to mind is Barton Fink. I watched it as 'just a movie' and loved it, started reading a bit about the symbolism and realised there was a whole other movie in there ... |

| I'm really torn. While Tennent is undoubtably the better actor, I find Matt Smiths approach so much more interesting. Matt Smith seems so much more like a 900 year old alien. He's weird and clumsy in and almost Aspergers way which makes him seem seperate to all the other human characters. I also lov... |

| I guess I've personally never had a huge problem with the touching and close contact. Maybe it was because I was always pushed by my parents into contact sports as a kid (which always ended disastrously, but maybe the early exposure got me over it?), or maybe it was what I mentioned earlier of just ... |

| Apologies for bring back such an old topic but it was the most recent one I could find on the subject. I've been a Pro Wrestler in the UK for around 10 years, and currently run one of the most critically acclaimed 'Britwres' company. It's ridiculously stressful work, which leads to constant meltdown... |

| I really do need to watch Stanhope live, I don't think I've ever seen him do a bad show. He makes bitterness hilarious, which is no mean feat! He reminds me of the drunken lovechild of George Carlin & Johnny Vegas. |

| I'd be willing to help in some way. Although I can draw (and have a degree in Fine Art) I'm not sure I'd like to volunteer to do the artwork as it can be extremely time consuming and I'm more of a digital artist anyway, but I'd be happy to see what I could do in the way of cover design or offering a... |

| I've been a Professional Wrestler for the past 10 years and absolutely love performing to an audience. It's never been easy, but the feeling it gives me makes it all worth it. Even after all this time I still get really nervous before going out and get that huge surge of adrenaline, but it's such a ... |

| Death Note is one of the few anime series I've really enjoyed. I've made numerous attempts to get into anime since it seems like something I could easily become obsessed over and there's so much out there if you enjoy it, but it rarely manages to hook me. Although the live action films pale in compa... |

| wow, it's great to see so many of my favourite stand up's get mentioned time and time again in this thread. I post on a few NT forums and these types of threads get very different answers on there. I'm a huge fan of the art of stand up comedy and despite how difficult it would be for me I've often t... |

| I get it most winters. I think for me it's more connected to my sleeping pattern (I haven't fallen asleep before 5am in about 5-6 years) and only getting an hour (if that!) of daylight in the winter months. When that's happening I start getting quite depressed about 'wasting my life' (even if I'm ac... |
