| I've never heard of glasses for spatial awareness issues. The problem is mental and has nothing to do with the eyes itself. |

| And in Joe90s case, I recall she didn't remember being so severely autistic until she was reminded by some documents of her early life. I was only autistic when I was 4. Before then I wasn't, and after then I grew out of a lot of the traits rather quickly. I don't have much memory of being 4, but I... |

| That happens to me a lot too. One time I was sitting upstairs on a double-decker bus, and I was literally the ONLY person up there. Then some chavvy women got on with a load of kids, all under the age of 4. At first they didn't come upstairs, but a few stops later they decided to change their minds... |

| I pop 200mg caffeine tablets at college to help prevent me from zoning out so much. I can't take any more than 200mgs every 3 hours or so, or it becomes counterproductive. The withdrawal can also be awful, but I find taking 5htp just before the caffeine effects wear off helps to take the edge off. I... |

| It used to be money for me ( when I was much younger ) , nowadays not much keeps me motivated except trying to avoid conflict I'm not motivated by money at all. I have a habit of squandering what little money I do have, because having it makes me feel uncomfortable for some odd reason. I know a lot... |

130-135 isnt "slightly above average", it's in the superior range. 
Also, the most gifted people are the one's who also suffer from the greatest level of boredom. |

| 19 is still actually pretty young. If you were 29 and still never been kissed, I would understand why you're feeling like this, but 19 is still young and there is still time. Here in England, teen relationships is no big deal, meaning if a person in their teens/early 20s has never had a relationshi... |

He's not 48 though. So it's a pointless question. |

Aspergers does not simply appear one day. It's a life long condition.
Beginning to display odd behaviours in your 70s does not equate to having Aspergers or any Autistic Spectrum Disorder. A lot of peoples behaviour begins to deteriorate at that age. It's called getting old.  |
