| Most animals (all primates) rock, pace, or pick at/groom their skin/hair (self grooming) when caged in stressful environments. It is normal animal behavior, and non-AS individuals can engage in it, so your child may just be more sensitive to stressful situations than other children for reasons other... |

| One of my worries is his "bouncy" walk, I know I should not care what people think but to a point I think we all need to Aww! I used to do that when I was happy! Don't make him stop bouncing. If he's six feet tall, he probably won't have to worry about kids picking on him physically, even if he's a... |

| It's a soul torturing job with a child incapable of accepting or returning affection. I had trouble with this too. Having a cat as a child really helped me learn the concept of "social grooming." Their fur is soft and pleasent to touch, and when I pet my cat she would pur, which my mother told me m... |

| I have been diagnosed with NVLD, which is not technically Asperger's but I can definitely relate to what your daughter is going through as the disorders are very similar. She is very bright. As a child my hero was Einstien because he cut the sleeves off his shirts and refused to wear socks, just lik... |

| What's your favorite ice cream flavor? Strawberry. But with no bits, they're disgusting. I know. I feel the same way about the chunks in peach. So, I guess bras aren't so bad, but for social reasons I don't think I would. Also make-up sucks. (why did I just type all that?!) You just typed all that ... |

What's an internal censor?
EDIT: Oh, okay. It means what I thought it means. Don't really have much of one, truthfully. I blurt things out a lot. |

| I have to deal with a lot of the BS "female" stereotypes. I am physically attractive, and for some reason this fact causes NTs to make even more assumptions than they would based solely on my gender. I also have an OK sense of "style" I suppose, and I wear a little bit of makeup (I only do it to pro... |

| Wow, I would be asking for a divorce. He doesn't seem to love you at all. I'm sorry if that's blunt. NT males express love openly. They are constantly kissing, caressing, cuddling, and touching their lovers, or so I've seen. Further along in the relationship kissing and caressing on a regular basis ... |
