| Joining the Air Force is one of the few good things in my life. A lot of the other cadets I work with are a bunch of pricks but I finally met my best friend on a TDY.

| No offence but it doesn't really sound like Asperger's, just a collection of small personality quirks. |

| There have been a number of repeated tests done to prove the INACCURACY of wikipedia, but it actually ended up being proven pretty accurate. For one trial, a professor went through and put deliberately inaccurate (but not necessarily "ridiculous") "facts" into several lesser-researched topics with t... |

| I'm on a brief professional training program with the Air Force, and was recently assigned to the COM squadron on base. There is no way at least %50 of those guys don't have at least mild AS. Their gait, how they talked, what they thought was funny, they seemed to have no clue whatsoever that the ex... |

The only person I've ever loved was a body type I wouldn't have thought I'd be attracted to, but ever since he went away I'm ... |

| I took a no-kidding, professional IQ test (for acceptance into a private school) when I was around 11 and scored 136. Every IQ test I've taken thereafter I score terribly on. I think it's because the test I took was empirical and did a lot of logic/reasoning and verbal whereas the tests I've taken s... |
