"Do you think having Asperger's syndrome contributes to involuntary lonerism?"

Well, do you consider it with these NTs you talk about? This whole NT business bugs me a little bit. Do... |

| Me too... No idea how to fix it, though. When I was younger I even went to a physiotherapist for tendinitis, and she told me my joints weren't right. Seems when you lie down, certain parts of your body are supposed to touch the ground, like the underside of your knees, and mine don't. Something with... |

| Dunno if I have it either, but I started reading about this because somebody suggested my 5 year old might have it. I score about the same as you on that test, but it seems to be checking for a specific type of AS (the math and numbers type). My main things have always been reading and music. |

My oldest daughter was fluent in three languages by the time she was five. It seems to come very easy to them at ... |

| Yeah, all the time. It used to be good stuff, but lately it's been really, really annoying songs from when I was growing up. I've had one running for a year or two now, a horrible folk song about some Robin Hood-type character. Not constantly, but it pops up a few times every day. Drives me nuts at ... |

"is it safe to tell the psychiatrist that I've been seeing escorts?"
Yeah, it's safe. There's no way a psychiatrist would (or could) report you for anything that minor. |
