| I do this all the time and it sometimes keeps me up at night. To get rid of them and try and ignore them I do things like: put my head in a pillow and scream, splash cold water on my face, slap my face and also close my eyes and make a mental image of my brain being swept with a brush so the bad tho... |

| Yeah, it's just a coincidence that the two worst school shootings in the last decade (or whatever), that involved body counts in the dozens, were perpetrated by people who, for all appearances, fit the profile of Asperger's perfectly? This isn't a clinical diagnosis. It's like when people on this f... |

| If you grow up in a big and diverse city, where there are plenty of social events and resources galore, you're more likely to develop better social skills than people who grow up in a small suburban town where the average age is 55 and the most popular hang-out spot is the local Wal-Mart Supercente... |

| I chose the DP67BA because of its media features and it is made to work best with an i7 False. It has no special media features any other new board would have - in fact, if you're using a 3rd-generation i7, you'll get more out of the 3rd-generation chipset that came out at the same time. It's it's ... |

| This might be a bit outdated but Im just wondering(and someone I know in real life brought up a good point) how come a hallmark trait of Aspergers people is having a VERY high IQ? Is it? From what I've read the average is only slightly higher than the default IQ average of 100. Also, a diagnosis is... |
