I have always been under the impression was about the only one that is largely free of those problems. "Risperidone for Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome" is the name of an... |

You can go on and calculate how long it will take if someone like your dream person is in this database, but if th... |

| No, you did not. It's just that the discussion seems to go on different levels. And in this matter, it may reflect what is going on in society. By social convention, I may be odd.

How important are words for your personal identification e.g. Aspie, Asperger syndrome, autism, disorder, disabilty?

| I agree autistic people may have difficulties for instance in social situations or with senory issues and I thank that is because they don't spread their attention upon a lot of tasks at the same time.
