| I'm probably something between a pantheist and an athiest/nontheist/agnostic. I have a sense that there's a deeper meaning to it all, but choose not to apply a religious definition to it. I don't believe in dieties, but would not be surprised if there were a universal consciousness. But who really k... |

I would love to read it - parents with Aspergers is a special interest of mine. I will see if my library will order it.
Also, do you have a blog? |

| Well, I suppose you know whether or not you feel successful and/or happy. I generally don't, which I attribute to my below average EIQ (after reading that book). My IQ does not seem to have been a big help for me. |

| Is the IQ test a significant measure of success of people with "gifted" scores relative to those of "average intelligence"? Not according to the book I just mentioned, Emotional Intelligence. It showed that people with high IQs were just as likely as people with low IQs to be unhappy, poor, etc. Th... |

| There is a very good case against IQ as THE measure of intelligence in the book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. He proposes that IQ is a measure of only one kind of intelligence, and that it does not predict success or happiness. You might also read something by Howard Gardner, a psycholog... |

| You should just ask a woman you're interested in. "Are you single?" would work. |

I think it's great that you're making these videos.
I agree with Greentea, though, you could probably condense them. |

| I think symptoms can get worse with stress, so if you are in a place in your life where things are very easy, you may be experiencing your symptoms with less intensity. You can also learn to work around your issues, which makes things easier. I remember reading in the Tony Atwood book that Aspie gir... |

| Could you provide a summarized version of your religion, perhaps with bullet points? I was not able to digest so many words all strung together. Or maybe paragraphs would help. Actually, the things you wrote in your responses tended to be a little easier to comprehend than 153. It sounds like you ha... |

| What exactly are the benefits of being officially diagnosed as an adult? As far as I know, where I live you don't get anything just for having a diagnosis. |
