| Congrats on your first semester! All B's isn't bad for first semester when you're trying to learn your way around an environment that works so differently than high school. New campus, new social rules, new expectations, new people...it's a lot. Don't worry, you have plenty of time to get As and I b... |

| lol. Interesting question! Before I joined WP, I thought the idea that people with AS felt fewer or less intense emotions was a myth NTs used to dehumanize people on the spectrum. But when I was here all the time 7 or 8 months ago, I found that people either said they have really intense emotions or... |

| Don't know if this will help, but I actually had a similar experience with my last boyfriend, who I'm pretty sure had AS but was not officially diagnosed with anything. Also a smart, nice, hard-working guy, he wanted to talk on the phone or on instant messaging all the time, even if we didn't have a... |

| I know from experience that it's really frustrating having this insight about someone you love that just seems so right, that would make his life so much better if only he knew ! If it's been two weeks since you gave him the book and the letter and he hasn't talked to you about it, and he normally t... |

| How come some people can do well in university when they never "prepared themselves" in high school and rid of their bad study habits? It's because they don't necessarily all have bad study habits. At my university, people didn't spend a lot of time doing homework in high school, but it wasn't becau... |

You're not responsible for your friend's grade, so it's not your fault if she fails. :) I don't know your friend, but it sounds like she needs to take some responsibi... |

What parts of being a PhD are the most challenging for you? Which parts are the easiest? Anything that you thought would be easy that turned out to be hard, or vice versa?
(I'm going to start grad school for my PhD in a couple years, so the more details the better! Thanks!) |

| Hi Bells, your post seems to have cut off in the middle, after "any ideas for setting up a stri." Hope it didn't cut off any questions? First of all, if you were feeling overstimulated by the classroom and the other students, great idea to take the classes online! I'm a senior in college, and have s... |

| I find motivational stories, and many self-help books, condescending. The moral is usually simplistic, so if the story were really supposed to teach me some answer I hadn't thought of, I would have to be an idiot. And if I did know the moral, then why are you telling me this story? Plus, it puts the... |

| So is it that you really do things in a way that's more complicated for you? Or is it that what's easy for NTs is complicated for you, and vice versa? |

If Aristotle and George Harrison had a baby (what a strange and disturbing thought!) it would think like me.
Nice topic.  |

| Hi Ashtin, welcome. Your son's unusual walk and obsession with video games sounds a lot like my younger brother, who's almost the same age. I wonder if they'd get along? ;D Anyway... From your description, he sounds like he really is on the spectrum (particularly the obsession with windshield wipers... |

| I'm not sure this is a very helpful question to ask. I used to ask it all the time, and it never got me anywhere. NTs, who for better or worse define our emotional vocabulary, call seemingly hundreds of different feelings love. Even if you narrow it down to what could be considered "romantic" or "se... |
