Also as whenever you are in non-REM sleep. |

| OHAI :D I'm a 21 year old female, looking for fun new e-friends to IM on Skype. I'm quite laid back and quirky and like to find others like me!! I have just finished university and am currently living with my mom in a smallish town with no job, so it's a bit hard to meet other people around my age i... |

| I think it's not unlikely. And its a part of the reason why I'd be much more willing to adopt. Both my parents are NT (I think) with some aspie-ish traits (natural loners essentially), my maternal aunt has Asperger's I'm pretty sure as well as other psychological concerns. My brother is extremely NT... |

| This is an interesting idea for a thread :) I'm very autistic, but I'm also a lot of other things, which makes me less stereotypically "Asperger's" - because I am. Being "girly" is not stereotypically asperger's, but that is only because most diagnosed aspies are men. I adore perfume because smell ... |

| This thread is to talk about the ways we are or are not "typical" aspies. In many ways I'm not the typical aspie. For one, I'm female, which may explain some or most of it, as typical aspies tend to be male. (Stereo)Typical aspie features I have: *Stimming and lots of it; over-obsessive daydreaming ... |

Also greater access to mental/psychological knowledge and services so HFA and Asperger's ... |

| One thing I find annoying that NT people seem to enjoy is having conversations during meals. I always just find it annoying because I'd rather focus on my yummy food. It's even more annoying when they ask questions while food is in my mouth and I have to either talk with my mouth full or finish chew... |

But I'd say I have a predominantly experiential memory. However I have a few memories, such as a date with a guy I liked and kissing anothe... |

| I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, although it's probably true in some cases. All individuals with autism/aspergers' develop at different paces. One I've heard that seems more plausible is that people with Asperger's syndrome are about 3 years behind their peers in terms of emotional and socia... |

| Maybe. In a way. It can be irritating if you are stuck in your ways and not willing to expand your mind and have new experiences. It can also be very sweet. It just depends on the person. Also, it can be annoying if you are completely passive and expect the man to surprise you, impress you, singleh... |
