| It's easy to say, "I've grown out of most of it." In reality, my brain has developed 'work around the problem' systems to make it easier to operate in the real world. I still get caught staring off into space. I still get caught talking to myself. I still don't like crowds that expect social interac... |

| I used to look at the world in black and white. Over the years, the world has shown me(sometimes painfully) that it's mostly shades of grey, and the cosmos is largely indifferent to my existence. |

| To really understand evolution, you have to look at it from the perspective of the gene, not the organism. The gene is immortal; the organism is just a temporary carrier of the gene. If Asperger's is genetic, and it's still floating in the gene pool, it likely gives some benefit to the survival of t... |

| For nearly four decades, I've been running around on this planet with a persistent knowledge that most of the people around me did not see the same world that I did. If aliens were to land in my back yard, knock on the door, and say, "Sorry, Jeff. There was a mistake. You were left behind." I would ... |

| Language IS artificial. Most human minds are built to be able to learn it, but it's not an integral part of the Universe. A lot of people are so used to language that they forget that, and I know a lot of people for some reason think in words, but that doesn't make it any less artificial. That bein... |

| I had a bad stutter as a child. The state spent a king's ransom on a speech therapist to get me talking. It subjected the rest of the world to the workings of my very odd mind.
