| Don't use the term "Aspergian", it makes us look even more silly than people think we are. I mean, as if it wasn't enough with the ridiculous atlantis theories and all that. Separating us further from the rest than we naturally are is not going to bring about acceptance. I mean, in this case, the au... |

Some say that autistic people are rarely compatible as the disorder is so diverse and the spectrum so vast, while o... |

| I use it for networking and such. I'd love to get to know some fellow autistic people, so if you'd like to exhange some mails or chat through that medium, feel free to PM me and I'll add you. About showing up with 0 friends, is that not what everybody does after signing up? One friend has to be the ... |

| I am very pleased to hear about the acceptance that autism receives in your environment! That is a wonderful step in the right direction. If only society as a whole could be based upon such a belief, then writing books would be redundant. Of course, I am not denying the necessity of a diagnosis. It ... |

| I've read about 13 books on AS, and every volume I have read states that AS children need to grow up in a cocoon and have their hand held throught adolescence, yet, they can transition seamlessly to the working world and maintain employment without issue. I don't know if these are attempts to sooth... |

My book will be a fusion of biographical elements, that is examples from my own life and experiences along with commentary on how to handle the problems that arise. I present solutions, examples and perceptions as they become relevant to the curre... |

| I am currently writing a book about Asperger Syndrome. Now, this has been done countless times before but how many of those books are actually written by someone who has the diagnosis himself? Few to none. And most of them are just a collection of poems or artistic expressions which is fine for its ... |

| Well if you lie on your back like a submissive animal, the dominant animals will continue to trample you down. Yes, society is just that way. "We" (excluding those of us, apparently you and I, who chose not to comply) are forced to act like animals in order to "prosper", that is attain social value.... |

| I have Asperger Syndrome and I am a musician, author, music teacher student, and a philosopher. I never cared too much about stereotypes.
