| Hello! My brother wanted to buy my Mom an iPad (which she needs like a hole in the head; she has no clue about how one works, despite it being as easy to use as it is). Telling him that I could buy 5 of these for the cost of an iPad, and that even though the iPad IS better, it's not 5 times so, shut... |

| I had a meltdown and smashed it May it rest in pieces. I just picked up an Android tablet myself. It's a Polaroid 701c that runs Gingerbread at 1 GHz, with 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB internal storage, and expandable with up to 32 GB via Micro SDHC. At $99, I couldn't pass it up. The latest version (701i) ... |

Hello!
Good for you! Drinking - and being around those who DO, WHEN they do - doesn't turn ME on, either.
I hope you can find people who share your sentiments to 'hang' with...

| Hello! Exactly what is going on inside you is something that can only a qualfied mental health professional can properly diagnose and treat, but it sounds to me that you suffer from far more than simply a lack of empathy as a result of having Asperger's. Any doctor with whom you share what you just ... |

Hello!
I'll be 50 next month, but look more like 40. I suppose it COULD have to do with AS,
which, I guess, makes it less of a 'disorder'...

| Hello! Given that your mood swings are cyclical, it definitely sounds like something that you might want to follow up with a doctor about, as there may be more involved than simply a mental health issue. It happens more often than people think: You take meds, you get better, you then think you don't... |

On top of everything that DSM-V is going to change concerning Asperger's and autism in general, thus article on Fox News opens up a new Pandora's box of worries about what may happen if DSM-V is implemented in its current form: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/02/09/shyness-illness-in-dange... |

| Hello! What you'll leave there with is just that much more real-world practice when it comes to social interaction. If you don't go, then you'll never know, will you? Just lighten up, and be yourself. Besides, everyone else there will probably be too drunk to notice anyway... Have A Great Day! Rob |
