What if you don't obsess over anything and aren't particularly talented?
Ooooh, that's gotta suck. :(

There are positives and negativies. What is, is what is. Still the label is but a label and highly subjectable to the individual.

i personally think that the label is too encompassing and usually becomes reiffying.

i would like concrete instruction please.

the spectrum is designed to include just about everyone, at times.

For me it's war, history, and politics.
Unfortunately i don't see myself getting a career with anything like that.
So i'm going to become a cook.

I object to the subject line that Aspergers may be positive to "have".

I don't have anything. I don't have a disease. I don't have anything that should be fixed or cured, I AM. This is me, I AM. I would not be any different for anything.

If not for the whole collection of traits that is identified as Asperger's, I would be an entirely different human. And I doubt I would be any more interesting or any better.
