| It has been suggested I suffer from social anxiety, social phobia and a stress disorder. I thought I was OK until they explained thats why I do A,B and C behaviours. I do hate the constant looping thoughts, annalysing and re-annalysing negative events looking for understanding and reasons. Re-creati... |

| What you say is true to an extent for many on the spectrum. However, I believe most people with Neurodevelopmental sequelaes would struggle in life like auties and aspies. If you struggle with comprehending social ettiquette and behaviour the general community will judge and punish you harshly. Will... |

I prefer to experience things personally and reject gossip/intolerence. I love the christian rock music and the Bible gives me rules, guidance and structure for the fi... |

| My stepson also gravitates to the teacher but not for the same reasons as kids with AS. He gravitates towards younger children and adults because his peers are more likely to judge him. It is not so he can have an intellectual conversation (he likes to talk about objects), it is because he knows th... |

| I can understand your distress at their mis-representation of Aspergers. The story was obviously fiction! Some writers are just morons. lol As far as crimminal acts by people whether they are AS,HFA,BP,SCHIZOPHRENIC, non ASD etc, its all about mens rea. Whether the persons intentions were to steal, ... |
