| I was thinking the other day about metaphors in films that are appropriate for my life with AS. OK so often it may be the case that a scene setting or entire movie is symbolic of something that has happened in my life that has very little in relation to Aspergers but having recently gone through a b... |

| I have had this problem many times, completely different places but otherwise the same problem of wanting to fit in and be a part of the crowd but knowing all the time that you have nothing or very little in common. I think one reason is that i am always of the belief that i only speak if i am spoke... |

| I dont know if this is to much like my last post but here goes.... Shops can be nightmares for most of us and i am no exception. But the way i look at it is how much, in a shop, i can stay anonamouse. By that i mean how much can i go in, browse, choose and buy with the least amount of interaction an... |

I think another aspect for me could be order. When i was at school i always liked order and control so that it reduced or eliminated interaction with other kids and thus the misery and bullieing.
I didnt give a damn what i was being taught just as long as it was a strict teacher that kept control. |

| Hi, I wondered if anyone else felt the same way about this..... Earlier in the year i went to a big concert in Hyde Park, London, to see Paul Mccartney. It was the 2010 Hard Rock Calling festival and he was headlining on the Sunday night. Now this was about 50,000 people and i am sure that many so c... |
