| I do know that some of you may have personal objections to Jon Stewart either due to his political views (which I mostly agree with) or because of his annual "Night of Too Many Stars" event, but I do think that this interview last night (U.S.) was a positive one for the cause of understanding autism... |

| Unfortunately, a lot of people misperceive self-respect with narcissism. My mentioning of, like AdamAutistic, being gay and having autism, as well as being Filipino, and saying that I'm proud and happy about it can be seen as bigotry for unfortunate reasons. Personally, I believe that having pride i... |

| I don't think it's necessarily the case that there are people who've attained success despite the fact that they have autism, we should all try to aspire to be our best, I doubt that most people who have notoriety thought for sure that they'd ever get famous for any feats they've achieved. But I do ... |

| Well, for me, that IS how it works. Though neurobiology does strike somewhat of an interest for me, I was alluding to the common theory of left and right brain through the use of imagery, thus, making your analysis virtually meaningless for the question at hand (sorry - I just wish people would pay ... |

| I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that I'm a rarity that absolutely cannot be duplicated. I guess I'm just suffering through my OCD-backed identity crisis and my folly, Jensen, is probably the fact that I believe that I can actually be categorized in specific terms, Autism is a spectrum after all. ... |

| I've been wondering about how people think lately since how I perceive it, it's a battle between logic and emotion, with most people seemingly favoring one over the other. But the strange thing (as far as I know) with me is that logic and emotion live on the left and right side of the brain in harmo... |

| Sorry about reviving an otherwise dead thread, but here's something I found about this topic. According to this website , there are three levels of skill that fit in with the savant category: splintered, talented, and prodigious. Also, according to that site (along with many others), "Approximately ... |

| From what I've read, I think that asexual is a catch-all term for anyone who doesn't have any sexual desire for other people and it doesn't really matter if you're attracted to men or women. That's why a lot of people in the LGBT spectrum also consider asexuals as one of our own since with asexualit... |

| If that's how all aspies are, I should've been diagnosed MUCH earlier than at 19 years old. :o Though, the first one applies to me since my conscience keeps telling me so, is that what "design" would mean? Anyway, I doubt I'm damaged, well, in my opinion, my brain was the only thing God focused on w... |

| Actual biological age: 19 Mental age: According to IQ conversion from Weschler tests to Stanford-Binet and so forth.... 1.27 * 19 = 24 (IQ/10 * chronological age = mental age). Personally, I relate more towards 30 or 40 year olds than I do teens and 20s. It gives me the illusion of being smart for s... |

| Wow, 45? I know something's wrong here. Okay, maybe it's high for someone with Asperger's Syndrome but every other test I've taken online about EQ suggests that mine is at least in the 60s (61 the last time). Still, this is the lowest EQ score I've actually ever received. o_o |

| I've never liked shaving, it's such a pain when your school forbids what they considered an "overgrowth" of facial hair and you don't have a religious purpose for being able to grow a beard. But looking up on some possible styles of facial hair, I found this one style that I liked since it doesn't l... |

| INFJ. The first few times I've taken these tests I was considered an INTJ personality type but somehow, I've grown a higher inherent sense of social justice which may account for the change. Usually though, I get INFJ now, but sometimes it's INFP and even one time, INFx (with Perception and Judging ... |
