| Yeah, some can be very patronizing.. others can be rude regarding your disclosure, usually thru ignorance. I told my brothers and some close friends and got no response whatsoever. They chose to ignore it. They probably "knew" or suspected anyway. My workplace has always been pretty accomodating abo... |

| Interesting! Back on topic, i have never liked odd numbers, unless they are multiples of five. If the volume control has numbers i will pester someone until they change it to either an even number or a multiple of five and I would refuse to close my eyes if my alarm clock displayed a different numbe... |

Well, my point was I'm unnaturally attracted to the time 3:33.. I notice it all the time.

| I've always had a "link" or fascination with the time 3:33.. so much so, that it seems I'd always notice the clock when it was either 3:33 am or pm. And, I always joked with my (now-ex) girlfriend that 3:33 was probably when I was gonna die :) I'm sure now that it freaked her out. These days she won... |

Anyone tried to give motorists directions? :lol: Do you know that feeling when you're trying to be helpful but you know you should really keep your mo... |

| Agreed.. in fact, I'll say that alot won't even "want" to know.. Its really a matter of personal preference really. I take the exact opposite stance of Dave since I tend to tell people only on a "need to know" basis. Its a complex disorder and few people will really understand it. Often times it wil... |

I feel confident I could eventually become proficient at driving, but have never attempted getting a license due to anxiety primarily. I've noticed other posters here talking ... |

I've just started discussing it on my blog, ... |

| Luckily, my therapist mentioned Asperger's fairly quickly and has been very supportive. <breathes sigh of relief> I'd actually suspected Asperger's on my own when doing some research and she just verified it. The difficult part is now I feel stigmatized by it.. |
