Hmm, frankly I think that something like this would be more trouble than it's worth. Put aside the imminent, and most probably negative, reaction from NTs. How would a government of aspies function? Now, I'm not insinuating that we're less capable than NTs. HFAs and aspies can function just as well ...

I've always had sensitive skin. When I was younger, I had rashes everywhere, especially on my back and behind my knees. I still do, actually. About nine years ago, I developed eczema on my feet. My parents and I tried everything, from salves to herbal remedies to acupuncture. It was only until a few...

Jihad means struggle. It can mean a lot of things in context. A father working to earn a living is jihad for his family. A student studying at school is jihad for knowledge. A mother in labor is jihad for her son/daughter. Jihad doesn't always mean war, it's just a misconception mass media forces on...

I don't really know... I'm not formally diagnosed but I think I do have aspergers. I find myself laughing and snickering at things NTs don't find funny at all, yet cannot understand the humor behind books like the Discworld series, Good Omens, and The Hitchhikers Guide. They just... confuse me. I do...

I really don't see why this matters. Autism exists, that's a fact that can't be changed. My personal theory, however, is that He created autism in order to benefit mankind. BAP (Broad Autism Phenotype) is common in scientists and people who made advances in science and stuff. Einstein had aspergers,...

I also rock sometimes and do other repetitive body movements-and I like watching spinning things like clothes in the dryer at the laundromat too. Hmm, I can't believe I forgot until now, but when I was younger I went to my aunt's house and watched the clothes in the washing machine spin and spin fo...

Well I think... for me, it's a lot like the diagram shown above, yes. The 'barrier' between me and the 'world' is too thin and I keep getting bombarded by stimuli. But I also feel like an overflowing dam that keeps building and building and building until I just... snap. Like trying to fill a glass ...
