| Although I've been browsing the forums here for a couple of months now, and already introduced myself a while ago (October I believe), I have news for ye which I feel is a bit important. I received my official AS diagnosis yesterday. Ain't that a blast? It didn't really come as a surprise, though. T... |

| In Dutch, it is possible to put as many as 7 consecutive infinitive verb forms together in one correct sentence. 'Ik zou jou hebben willen zien durven blijven staan kijken.' The most exact sort-of correct translation I can come up with is this: I would have wanted to see you dare to stay standing an... |

| Although I'm not sure I'm an Aspie, some of these things sound really familiar. When I'm waiting in line at the supermarket, my mind often strays a bit. It happens quite often that, once it's my turn, the girl behind the counter says 'hello!' nicely and I reply by virtually shouting back 'HELLO!' ca... |

| Having used a thing or two, I can definitely say that they do. I can also definitely say that there's nothing quite like being sober. I'm an aspiring writer myself, and the things I wrote while under the influence of marijuana are either bizarre or extremely original, depending on how you look at it... |

It's not a song, it's a 'piece'. It's the fugue from the prelude in b-flat minor by JS Bach, performed by Glenn Gould.

| Singular special interest? History, I guess. And linguistics. And astronomy. And literature. And philosophy. More like plural special interests. |

| Life challenges, mostly. It's funny you mention the social bit, because in fact that's one of the prime reasons they're going to check if something ASD-ish is going on, specifically Asperger's.. It's because I used to observe other kids, rather than interact with them. As far as they've told me, the... |

| My earliest memory is me examining an orange frisbee when me and my mom were moving into another house. The move occurred in October of 1990, and I was born in February of 1989. So I was about 20 months old. |

| Hi, I'm 21 years old, and within the next couple of months I will undergo psychological evaluation to see whether I have Asperger's or not. The story so far is this. When I was a kid, a little kid, I was strange. When I was about 20 months old, I was able to make complicated sentences, yet hardly ab... |

| I like classical music, 1960s pop music (long love affair with the Beatles), history (especially the World Wars, Dutch history, history of space aviation and European religious history), and astronomy. When I was a kid I was obsessed by cars, but that died down. I've also had major flings with plate... |

| Greetings, in short, I'm a 21 year-old male from the windmill-ridden Batavian provinces. Some shrinks are currently trying to figure out whether I have Asperger's or not. The answer to me is pretty obvious, but it's not 'official' yet, so.. That's about it. I was thinking about making a very theatri... |
