| When I used to live in Warrington, I spent three years living in Preston at Uni, and didn't really miss Warrington at all. I missed the friends I had in Warrington, but not really the town itself, but then when I moved back to Warrington after Uni it was really weird 'cos I really missed Preston. No... |

| Thanks everyone for the replies, I deleted the Yes/No answer in the form (it was a word document) and replaced it with a paragraph about not knowing whether it should be yes or no, and sent it in, it was the last question on the form I had to fill in. |

| I'm not "proud" of being aspie per se however I am proud of the abilities it has given me. For example, I can hyperfocus on something. I've been making electronic music for a year and soon I'll be out DJing at festivals. That's cool. I did a bit of DJing for Radio Freedom - online internet based ra... |

| They could be referring to blindness/deafness as the charity is Sense, the national deaf blind charity, I hate it when they put really confusing questions on forms like this. I might just put a full answer to the question and let them decide yes/no. |

| We're not doomed just 'cos we're autistic, it's actually the rest of the planet that would be doomed without people with ASD's. If you want proof you just need to look at some of the greatest autistic minds out there to see how good this world has become thanks to them Bill Gates - Without him there... |

| I have a real hangup about plaque on my teeth because I can't stand the feel of it. I clean my teeth 4 or 5 times each day because of that. Once I have eaten I feel compelled to clean my teeth before I do anything else, even washing up, because the feel of anything on them is so awful. So, how ofte... |

| There is a scan that can detect ADHD, as Asperger's is very similar to ADHD and affects the same part of the brain (hence the reason why quite a few people with AS also have ADHD) then there should be a way to scan for it, but as to whether it has been discovered yet I don't know. I was diagnosed fo... |

| 'Normal users' probably cower at the site of the command line because it is designed for the logical brain. 'Normal users' can't seem to process what things stand for as quickly as people with AS can - such as IPCONFIG = Internet Protocol Configuration, or PPPOECONFIG = Peer to Peer Over Ethernet Co... |
