| What I've discovered about the adult world is that people who are relaxed, composed, and honest about their convictions are considered by most circles to be "cool", and people who try too hard (in the ways you mentioned) are written off as fakes and ostracized from anyone of consequence.

| I have this problem, too. I rarely tell people about my Asperger's unless I know them on a very personal level, and maybe that fuels the problem, but when I do their response is usually along the vein of "I don't think you have it". One of my friends even said I should get a second opinion. I don't ... |

| I think you can take comfort in me saying most of the adults I hang out with actively play Pokemon. I'm 20, and I still get a thrill from it. I'm sure I will for years to come. I'm not allowed to post links or images yet, but the good people at AwkwardZombie made an appropriate comic for this subjec... |

| I used to struggle with this a lot. Sometimes I can feel my thoughts practically bursting out of me. If something I want to say goes unsaid, the conversation feels like an incomplete puzzle. For me, it's a matter of listening to myself as often as I listen to other people. If I catch myself doing so... |

| Pantheism does not mean the belief in "multiple Gods". That's polytheism. Pantheism is the belief in an all-encompassing, non-anthropomorphic God. In other words, the universe and everything inside of it is "God". I do not believe that God is a person, but a concept, or a property. I believe in God ... |

| For all intensive purposes, my name is Kristian. It's just a pseudonym, but I like it because it's androgynous and non-threatening. I'm a 20-year-old male. I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome when I was very young. I don't usually use the term "aspie" to describe myself. I don't think it flows ... |
