| My guess is that brain-wise NTs have more mirror neurons and some sorta of synchronization in the way information travels around the brain. Meanwhile aspies/autistics lack as much of the mirror neurons and have different ways of communication Therefore, when NTs are young they see the body language... |

| One could travel abroad (say to China) and not speak the native tongue and still communicate using symbols and interpreted body signing and using "body language." It's a universal language. It's an entirely non- intellectual process that allows you to feel or read another persons' state of mind or ... |

| It might be that these "symbols" doesn't make sense for aspies and thus won't be added to the behavior pattern? IF that's the case then, one might ask why it should make sense intuitively. When people talk about "socal skills" or that people with autism lack them, I am mystified by what they actual... |

| This semester, I'm taking a class in Sociology which seems to be completely changing my viewpoint of the world. In it, I learned of a theory called "Symbolic Interactionism", which suggests that humans interact through a meaning of shared, arbitrary symbols in order to communicate. Examples of these... |

| Two places; somewhere no one would find them, and somewhere everyone would find them. 1) the first could be a secret place, in no way connected to the project 2) could be a Psychic Institute, seemingly bogus, and the laughingstock of the city (but secretly works). I suppose you could drop by Brass ... |

| Hey guys. ^^; I'm writing a story in a Steampunk city, where the region is mostly desert. The city is right by a river that runs into a saltwater lake just a mile or so away. I have an antagonist who's secretly kidnapping young girls/women with clairvoyant powers (they're very rare, so he only has a... |

| Whoa, I didn't at ALL expect this thread to get so many replies. xDDD But yeah, that whole time-tables thing is also a frustrating stereotype to me. It especially drives me crazy when people come up to an autistic person and are like "Hey, you're good at this" and proceed to ask a question we know n... |

| Are there any particular stereotypes regarding Aspergian/HFA people? Like, for example, it seems to me that when people are trying to describe autistic obsession/perseverations, they often default to 'trains'. It's to the point where I even become offended when people end up saying something about a... |

| This something I've been struggling with my entire life, so forgive me if I suddenly get emotional or keep changing my mood after every sentence... Up until I was diagnosed with Aspergers at age 9, I lived a relatively carefree life. I felt normal. I felt completely run-of-the-mill. As I grew up and... |

| The only thing I can think of is if the fur color is a trait or gene that is linked and activated by only a female sex chemical. Keep in mind that this means the females with the sable gene cannot express it until puberty or when more of the female sex hormone is released. That would be a secondary... |

I'm trying to work out genetics for a race I'm working on in one of my sci-fi/fantasy worlds (coz I'm reaaaally obsessive about details like that). I would like for this one t... |

| Well, I'm writing for this character who has a bit of Aspie traits, though a lot of this can be attributed to a pretty rough patch in her childhood. Allow me to give her a bit of a past (censoring certain details because I don't want plot ideas for this project stolen): (WARNING: There's a bit of PG... |

| I'm really not sure. I haven't tracked it and my period always catches me by surprise. However, is it possible that you're unconsciously feeling some tenderness in your abdomen and the fixation on stomach wounds is your brain's way of communicating with you about it? My neice says she can feel an a... |

Hey, just a random question; anyone think any of the characters on the TV show Firefly or the movie Serenity have Aspergers?
I'm not sure who might, but I'm getting a strong vibe whenever I watch that show.
What does everyone think? |
