It's possible, however unlikely, that you have been reading too many psychology books, and your friends are, by and large, fairly healthy people.
Just a passing thought.

It is food and shelter, legal defense and insurance policy, career and education. You can live without friends and fami... |

You'll need a career someday. Go get a EE.
The key to my survival and success was not controlling my obsessions, but choosing to fix on one for the remainder of my life and make it the focus of my work. So far, it's worked reasonably well.

| Honestly guys. I have read several comments and talked to several people. I noticed a pattern. Often people with AS think they do certain things, such as do poorly on tests, do poorly in jobs or at school, or have other issues, because of their AS. I can tell you, only when you stop using the AS as... |

| Our obsessions actually are pipe dreams. Before considering your son's career in music, go to a professional musician's union and ask a musician what sort of life they lead. Ask them where they live, what they eat, how much they make. Music is a fine hobby and probably an excellent thing for him to ... |
