| Can they feel empathy? If something bad happens to you, do they actually care about your welfare, or do they only care about how it'll influence your treatment of them? If they are kind to you, is it actually because they want you to feel better, or do they just want you to see them as a better per... |

| I don't believe in e-friendships, I don't believe in "e-friends", I always did .... People who are friendly to each others online are not necessarily compatible in real life , so online friendliness can't be counted as friendship...in my opinion. NTs find it strange when I say that, most people tel... |

| Once you get onto the world of Ruin the story gets so non-linear I feel almost lost. And I'm afraid to go new places for fear of getting killed. Things do slow down a bit once you get into Ruin, but I don't recall feeling lost or overly threatened. The characters and situations were really what gra... |

| I've gotta stick with FFVI as the best in the series. Struck the right balance between the old-school style and the new-school storytelling, without getting bogged down by going too far in either direction. FFXII is probably my second favorite, though quite a lot of people disliked the changes to t... |

| About FFI, I liked it. But it was very easy. . . I cleared the game playing 2 hours after school in 2 weeks (it would be faster, but I was trying to complete the bestiary). The good part is that you have to name the charcacters, and you can imagine you are one of the Light Warriors. If you like Fin... |

| Perhaps it's a prison in relation to the superficial trappings of modern society, but modern society and the social whirlpool are just as much a prison; it's just that those who're held in by it don't realize such (which is the ultimate irony). They're still the majority, which means we still have ... |

| My coach suggested I volunteer at Giant Steps, which is a non-profit organisation for autism which has its headquarters a few blocks away from my house. They've got a school for autistic kids with a waiting list of 600 people. So I checked out their site, and their home page had this to say about th... |

| There's no substitute for actual human contact. I agree 100%. I don't mean to say that all aspies should restrict themselves to the world of "virtual socialising." Depends where you're at - if you feel ready for human contact, go for it. Or do a mixture. One guy on a music collaboration forum took ... |

| I think it's easier to talk to people online for a number of reasons 1. You do not have to worry about looking nervous .. 2. You do not have to worry about people looking at you and judging you on appearance 3. You have time to think about what you want to say 4. You can revise if need be on forums... |

| FFI was fun but was ridiculously easy. I loved FFVIII. I actually liked the characters this time. Squall just reminded me of me, except that he was deliberately a loner and so came off as a bit of a poser in the beginning but towards the end he kind of grew on me. I found the battle system annoying... |

Except for the pirate, and her stereotypical pirate accent grate... |

Not that I know any aspie guys personally, but why is this only about NT teenagers? Were aspies the last in line when God was handing out the jerkitude? |

| Some good advice all around. :-) I like the school board idea (I remember one that was in College but I'm not in College so that isn't an option) neat idea though. I'll never forget I went to an Orthopedic doctor and I was sitting there playing my GBA he said is this all she does? My mom said yes. ... |
