| It is easy to become confused in the current mix of different and opposed opinions about aspergers. This site is BS free and de-dramatizing: http://psychcentral.com/lib/debunking-6-myths-about-asperger-syndrome/0008957?all=1 The site only says whar Asperger's isn't but it doesn't say what Asperger'... |

| I am furious because I read 10 minutes ago that the FBI was supposed to administer a poligraph exam. It seems like an internal contradiction if the executive branch uses them but not the judicial branch. I want desparately for an official in the US government to explain this to me right this minute ... |

| My first question would be why specifically your brother thinks you have AS. What personal traits/characteristics/behaviors have led him to that conclusion, and do you see the same things in yourself that he does? You also might want to consider taking the 50-question AQ (Autism-Spectrum Quotient) ... |

| The topics of ASD people talking about how great they are, aren't addressing why they are supposedly so great. This bothers me because the topics come across like ASD is an innate gift that makes you better than NT people. Here is my observation of several ASD people in my family and why it could b... |

| I feel empathetic. The difficulty is being empathic with people I don't understand. Until recently I assumed that NT's were basically like me so I treated them accordingly. Now I try to imagine how I would feel and how I would like to be treated if I were an NT. Dogs don''t want to treated like cats. |

| My brother is convinced that I am an aspie. The first time I read about it I thought it might apply to me. When I suggested it to my shrink he laughed as he thought that the idea was rediculous. Recently I suggested the idea to my new primary doctor who said "You seem to funtional." However he was m... |

| Very late to this thread so not really expecting a reply. I'm an aspie needless to say. I met a lovely NT lady online last year. She has her own anxiety issues but we overcame most of those together. We dated for three months -- a very intense loving relationship. Then we moved in together and ever... |

On the morning of the third day I could see that the sun was shining and I could here the birds singing and I put it behind me. A few months later she left a note on my partment d... |

| My perfect first date was with my ex-wife to be. I knew that she had class Tuesday and Thursday that ended at 7. I decided that the next time I ran into her on campus I would suggest that we go out to eat or something after her class. This worked and I said I would wait in my office. I picked the re... |

| I have read that there are more women than men with AS. That would give woman with AS leverage over men with AS. I can imagine a long line of aspie men trying to get a date with female aspie. Your best hope would be if she does not know she has AS and is not part of an AS community, then you can enj... |

| 1. Yes, the author said that microwaves were poisening the food. 2. Does cooking chemically alter food? I never thought about this before, but I suppose it does. On the other hand, maybe cells can be altered without altering the basic chemicals. Come to think about it, I guess there are three levels... |

| An example of how rediculous those with ND can be, I read an article about how microwave ovens could chemically alter food. The author threw out a large number, the number of times the electric field changes its orientation in a second. He claimed that these oscilations could "break molecules". What... |

They are slow or disabled when it comes to using logic, they make impulsive illogical decisions, they are "know it alls" they are close minded, they believe what they read even if the author gives no information on his sources of information... |
