| FYI Seats should be filled front to back, their should be no empty seats in front of taken seats. Their is no reason for someone to sit in the back when plenty of seats upfront are available. |

| The judge is WRONG to say everyone with ASD needs special education, or some kind of special accommodations in school to do well. I did well in school, and didn't have any kind of special education or accommodations. |

| Right now yes. Over the past few weeks, I have spent hundreds of hours researching and reading. Including reading around 10 books two or three times over and completing the OU open courseware ASD module. Jason Mines as well, but I don't go all out crazy like this person. I spend around 30 minutes a... |

nintendofan I wasn't trying to say you are wrong for wearing your ear defenders in public, only that many people will judge you for wearing them.
Are you sure their is nothing more discrete you can use in public? |

| Nintendofan, I suggest you stop wearing those ear defenders in public. It really makes you look mentally disabled, someone with a very very low IQ. I suggest you switch to more discrete ear plugs or some noise canceling inner ear headphones that plays soothing music. I know it isn't your fault, but ... |

Ignore the naysayers, don't like them get to you. Study hard and you can achieve your goals. Their is no reason you can't do as well in school as someone without Aspergers.
I am from the U.S, but what is an ICT teacher and why do you need one for each lesson? |

| Or is part of it psychological. I really doubt people with hypersensitivity to sound for example actually hear anything louder than NT people. I think their brains just THINKS it hears it loud when it doesn't. To me this seems like it could be a psychological issue and not entirely a neurological one. |

The term that you are looking for is sexual orientation (and transsexuality is not a sexual orientation btw. Transsexuals are either hetero, gay, bi, poly/omnisexual, or asexual like everybody else).
