| Well, I asked my therapist whether personality disorders can coexist with AS and he said he sees no reason why they couldn´t coexist. So I guess one person can have Asperger´s AND ALSO a personality disorder. I believe I have several BPD traits myself. |

| I admire Jackson Pollock. I consider his abstract paintings absolutely fascinating and I appreciate how varied his works are. I enclose two of his paintings that I like most: No. 5, year 1948 http://www.humayunmujahid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pollock_no5.jpg Guardians of the Secret, year 1943 ... |

| Futurama. Excellent, clever science fiction comedy, and very unique. Manages to be both intelligent and hilarious and full uf odd caracters and concepts, without imitating Red Dwarf, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or any other great sci-fi-com that came before it. I absolutely agree with thi... |

I liked to watch Grey´s Anatomy - I loved the relationship between Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd. I was always happy when they were together and got sad when they broke up. And I was pretty ashamed of that. 
Then CSI: Miami - I admire Horatio Caine, he is just adorable.  |

| Sometimes people will be talking and a question comes up, one to which I know the answer, but I stay silent. I muse over whether or not I should just say the answer out loud. I know so much things to say when I am around people who are having a conversation but I just listen, never feeling strong e... |

Joaquin Phoenix did a wonderful job playing him - his awkward gestures, slightly hesitant walk, pensive eyes - all that really brings the chara... |

| No amount of 'trying' will make friendships. Friendships occur naturally when you begin to interact with someone with whom you share common interests and ways of thinking. Exercises in social skills can help you function somewhat more smoothly in social situations, but that alone will not make you ... |

| Mne vyšlo AQ 42 a Aspie Quiz 136. Tie testy sa mi zdajú pomerne dobre zostavené, ale je pravda, že výsledok veľmi závisí na tom, či človek vyberie odpoveď "niekedy" alebo "často". |

Ahoj Ford_Prefect!
Čo sú to za testy, ktoré spomínaš? Celkom rada by som sa na ne pozrela. Problémy s komunikáciou a sociálnymi vzťahmi sú mi veru dôverne známe. |
