| It depends on the person, I suppose. AS is an aspect of one's personality, not its totality. |

| If you dwell on arguments, it's probably more to do with your basic personality than anything to do with AS. |

I have AS, is it because I have AS?

Nothing weird about that! The weird people are the ones who eat dessert BEFORE the main meal! |

| This has always been a tricky question. For a long time, a person's status was determined by the places I most often saw them. For example: people I worked with were colleagues; people at school, acquaintances; and then a few people who I saw outside of those contexts, genuine friends. Family member... |

| Just wondering if anyone else does this. I was thinking about this earlier, and I realised that I have always had this thing about listening to the same parts of certain songs over and over. I often find myself listening to a song and either forwarding or rewinding to a certain section repeatedly, i... |

| Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment had a profound effect on me when I first read it. It took me 2 days of solid reading to finish, but it captivated me completely for those 2 days and almost put me into some kind of trance. |

| I do, and always have. I enjoy banter, and ribbing with people. The important thing is knowing when to stop, and what lines not to cross. |

| Your review is nicely written and a pleasure to read, but I don't share your fondness for the film. I felt it misrepresented AS and drew a caricatured picture of what it is.
