| 3. How are you isn't literal, you are suppose to say "fine" then "How are you?" back. I'm still learning this one :lol: Why? If all they want from such an exchange is a pre-assigned answer that they already know you're going to give them, then what's the point? Why initiate an interaction at all? O... |

| cool :) I see it going clockwise and can't get see it the other way. I study perception science and am a self diagnosed aspie, and just thought it would be interesting to hear how others experience this. I have a bit of a scientific mindset so I would like to see ASD people against NT, see if there'... |

| I use FB quite a bit. It really gives an insight into people's inner thoughts, feelings and priorities, IMO, and should therefore almost be mandatory. Use your real name (or at least a part of it or a nickname which you can use to connect to those you've met in your life), but don't post more inform... |

| Hi all This is just out of curiosity to check whether you see this image as rotating clockwise or counterclockwise http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2007/10/09/va1237271192947/Spinning-lady-5693171.gif I'm also wondering whether the responder has an ASD/aspie, or is NT Comments are very welcome |

| Rock climbing. Gym based rock climbing can help you with technique, a partner is good to have for most climbing, but a lot of bouldering can be done alone. VERY calming and mind centering. Bouldering in a gym can be done completely alone (in most gyms). The bouldering gym is usually the place with t... |

| Roleplaying to play a character instead of yourself= ONLY for limited (and preferably one-off) situations (and of course when gaming). As SpideryMusic points out, playing pretend all the time is not good. I just meant that the technique is good for certain situations, especially those where our char... |

| here are two tips for not telling the complete truth: 1: Instead of lying it is often possible to squirm around the words, especially when asked questions (and specially when you know in advance that you can expect the question). This can often be done by parsing the sentences VERY literally. The ad... |

| Hell no. I'm in university, and no way in hell am I telling anyone. I am officially undiagnosed, but was tested for autism as a kid (back in the day before Asperger's existed as a diagnosis) and worked with autistic people as an adult (as well as getting some assistance when I discovered that I am p... |

| I didn't read the whole thread but have to say that MDMA is misrepresented on the first page. That one study where MDMA caused brain damage has been retracted due to serious errors (the researcher injected the test animals with a corrosive substance already known to cause brain damage, not MDMA, and... |

| Is it wrong to laugh at that knock knock joke? But as for talking about it, I don't. I even have/had a good reason for not getting diagnosed as that would have killed any employment chances in the field I used to specialize in. Turned out that as an adult I had a knack for working with autistic peop... |
