| I find the description on wikipedia good enough. You can find some inspiration there when writing the text. I would like to share with you the following text from a danish brochure on Aspergers Syndrome. AS is of course also autism, but autism is not necessarily AS, so this text is just for us aspie... |

| I'm not considering this as judging people by overall intelligence. I fully believe that you can consider someone with a lower than average intelligence the most charming person you have met or in other ways just feel a connection. I am looking for the answer to why I can be less patient in specific... |

| In "Mozart and the whale" Isabella says "I suffer no fools". I see this in me. This annoyance of people who in one way or another are - for a lack of a better word - stupid.

| I have previously experienced NTs seeing negative emotions in texts I have written when there was none. In another asperger forum I am a member of, I have experienced NTs expressing a concern that many of us were angry in the way we write, when in fact we just state facts and opinions and expect oth... |

| Thanks all, for your answers. You have all helped me with your interesting answers and I am now ready to write a response to the question. MrXxx, "You mean I'm not lazy, stupid or crazy?" (words in different order) is the title of a book by Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo. I purchased it when I first t... |

But there is one question I have a hard time answering in a satisfying way, so I need you to help me along. I have wr... |

| "That person was most likely just a plain old criminal." No, he is a well-educated man doing well for himself financially.. I believe.. but beyond the education part its speculation..

| yes, he is 'really messed up'. He finds satisfaction in stalking me, but there is a need to hurt me which can be compared to the need of one with a drug abuse; when he hurts me he gets this satisfaction, but it is a satisfaction he will soon feel the need to fulfill again and he will be marked by it... |

stalking is not rare.
Taken from a Yale study:
1.4 million people are stalked every year in the United States.
1 in 12 women will be stalked at some point in her lifetime.
1 in 45 men will be stalked at some point in his lifetime. |

| I don't believe sociopathy/psychopathy is a mental illness. A man once said to me that psychopathy is the opposite of autism.
