| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVvoQIdD80U This is a great post-punk record, and had I known about it before the hipsters decided to adopt it as a symbol of hipsterdom, I would have considered it an underrated classic. In a way, it still is, since the album cover is more popular than the album its... |

| I have never sought a formal diagnosis of AS although I am sure beyond doubt that I am on the spectrum. I have debated the pros and cons of getting a formal diagnosis and I'm wondering, for those of you diagnosed with AS as adults, did you find it at all beneficial for how other people related to y... |

| Budgeting can be a challenge to say the least. I spend most (sometimes) all of my money on my interests and forget the basics (which do not interest me at all). This has caused many problems for me in the past and now my wife manages my money, otherwise we would not have any. Too bad my special inte... |

| also there seems to be a difference in processing speed, and since most body language is transient [blink and you miss it] the inability to see quick events in detail is a crucial addlement. Interesting. I was in a fMRI scanner once for a study of neural response to asymmetrical dot patterns. My br... |

| My father had multiple books on reading body language when I was growing up. He was a policeman and most likely an Aspie. I started my formal research on facial expressions in 1996 when I was about 25 years old. I could not understand why I was so terrible at decoding facial expressions until late l... |

| I fear many aspies who self-medicate habitually would probably do so alone. Hard to say though, probably depends on the person by drug interaction. For example, the drug called ecstasy never appealed to me despite hearing that many people were trying it. I think the idea of being close with many str... |

| I get you, Coevolve...but I don't think everything would have been conducted in the way it was conducted in the movie. I agree, movies (and even documentaries) are usually quite biased to varying degrees. Beyond the film, the story about Bletchley Park is really interesting in its own right. I visi... |

| Yep....I saw the film. I agree with Progaspie's "holes." Churchill would have been too busy to read such nonsense, for example. Turing coauthored a letter to Churchill in 1941 raising concerns and making requests. To read the original see link http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~aar/turingletter.p... |
