asplanet... yeah, thank goodness for the internet! I see you are from New Zealand... if one of your national heros, Burt Munro, (subject of The World's Fastest Indian) didn't have AS I'd be pretty suprised! A lot of serious motorheads are on the spectrum methinks...

Glider... one of the realizations that freaked me out about my past has to do with speech patterns. I used to repeat sentences under my breath after I said them when I was young, I found through online research this is a prime indicator (correct me if I'm wrong) but I remember peers getting seriousl...

Thanks all! Good to be here, I can explain the avatar... DrSL has always been a favorite movie of mine and I am pretty convinced most of my NT co-workers (the few that could actually sit through an entire movie as opposed to, say, an NFL football game) would probably figure I WAS Dr. Strangelove... ...

This one is tough. I struggle with this one every day. I can't believe how much time/energy NT's seem to spend on this stuff. (Hidden agendas, deviousness, not saying what they mean, double entendres' etc.) It's apparently Really Important in a way I may never grasp. Frustrating and very difficult t...

Good question! I have enough interests to keep me solitarily occupied for sure forever. My main concern about interacting with others is work-related. I always, always knew something was 'up' with me but when I missed a promotion over a dozen years ago, being 'on the spectrum' hit me in the wallet h...

Grew up pre-internet, probably would never have found out about others with the same issues had it not been invented. Whew. Didn't know what Asperger's or spectrum disorders even were unt...
