| All people annoy me. Ok, so I can't point the finger - I'm diagnosed with Asperger's. But, we all suspect my Dad has AS....it takes one to know one, and I won't go into detail, but he has all the characteristics. He thinks so himself. I'm visiting him for break from college, and it's all great, but ... |

| I don't seem to think about it one way or the other. I'm not a person who's proud of having AS, but I feel like it part of my identity. I guess it's because I found people that were like me and have something in common here on WP. There are people who base their identity on their nationality, career... |

| I just don't like acknowledging people and eye contact suggests that I may be doing so. Most people with AS (Aspies, I guess, although I'm not too terribly fond of the term.) seem to have a pretty big disdain for staring people in the eyes. I'm just curious as to what reasons people here have for th... |
