| It's neither a disease nor a disorder. The only "D" that appropriately categorizes it is " d ifference". That's a good quote. ^_^ I'll use it if you don't mind? (with your name on it of course). On-topic: I don't consider it a disease or a disorder. I have OCD, OCD is a disorder - I agree with that... |

| Haha, people mistakes me for a 20 when I'm 30 already! And when I look at myself, I don't look younger! I even got asked 4 times the past 6 months for my ID because they thought I was a minor! I can't stop laughing and smiling at that everytime it happens, and usually I reply back like I was offende... |

| I'm a church minister so I conduct a lot of funerals, many of them for non-church people and spend a lot of time with bereaved families. In every family individual members are grieving to a greater or lesser degree, depending on how close they were to the deceased. From what you say I wouldn't expe... |

| No, I don't think that it's possible to outgrow AS. What I think happens is that as we grow into adulthood we learn to live within our abilities and accept our limitations. Ed Almos (50) I agree with that. It is how our brain is wired, sometimes I don't understand why it falls under "psychology" be... |

| I get a good chuckle from people calling me an idiot when I use older syntax. Also, websites need to learn that double spaces after a period IS acceptable. Not just acceptable, it is a must. I think, at least here in the Philippines, it is still being taught in schools that double spaces after a pe... |

| I can remember as far back as I opened my eyes (not exactly the day when I first opened it), so that's probably on or a little bit before I turned 1 yr old. I pretty much remember my crib, the toys hanging on top, my pillows, and that cloth they put in your hands so you won't suck your fingers. It's... |

I am afraid of letting it out too, so to this day I haven't addressed it. But with trains, I'm very much fine. I li... |

| I don't consider AS as "disorder" either. Why? Because it was labeled as such based on the… drum roll please… "majority"! Anything that doesn't conform to the majority is almost always branded as "weird", "disorder", "abnormal", "freak of nature", "odd", "out-of-this-world", "impossible", you name ... |

| I understand. However, as someone who used to practice it -- on myself and others, I'd say it's a blessing it isn't working on you. You can get addicted to it. It can do a wide range of things for you and it's too easy to lose control (even just by yourself). And falling asleep is one sign that you... |
