| I agree with the sentiments of your poem, hyper_alien. Both aspies and NTs ultimately wish to lead enjoyable and productive lives. Unfortunately, many NTs, being the vast majority of the population, have a difficult time imagining that there coud be anyone could lead a happy and productive life othe... |

| Alternative, I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. That is a most difficult situation. I'm 23 I am haven't had a girlfriend yet either. I have been interested in a couple of girls over the year. The later one (in an alternative school) seemed to have a rather similar personality (I think she... |

| I have seen the same psychiatrist for more then five years and even before discovering AS I felt something wasn't right. Unfortunately, I could only bring myself to hint at it at the time. Discovering Asperger's has given me a bit of a bit and I have attempted to explain to my parents that perhaps i... |

| I recently picked up that movie from Best Buy (why do they have to play the pulsating music so loud there?) for like $8 or something cheap like that. I always loved that movie as a kid and still do. I generally hate disaster movies, even more the old ones with the "all-star" casts (remember Earthqua... |

| I hate having to call people on the phone. When I was in the 7-8th grade summer vacation or so I had a friend (I don't think he was an aspie, although he had some characteristics) who had similar interests to myself.

| Nice post. Many people often don't even realize that how they contribute to this. They may have behaviors themselves that are unusual or many "normal" people would consider strange (such as only watching one particular movie to the exclusive of others, or over-obsesssion regarding past events, or co... |

| Cyberpunkwriter, that was wonderful. I have had some of those feelings too, although I can't really put them into words now. I...uh...can't smell things very well generally unless they are strong like coffee beans (good) or gasoline (bad). Good luck on your book. Uh oh religion fight! I flirted with... |

| I like this topic. It serves to reminds you of things about yourself. I too was/am into Rome (well, Roman emperors, and dictators), Skyscrapers, disasters, and serial killers. I'm also into alternate history. This is fun, fun, fun. |
