I don't drink much.
BUT I love to brew wines so I've ended up with nearly a cupboard full of wine bottles...
Usually the only times I drink is to see how my creations taste. |

| Why is it that a large majority of people think of Aspergers as a disorder, disability, etc? Sure it has some negative aspects but it also has a lot of positive aspects too. I'm getting really tired of being treated like this by most NTs... I mean if you wanted one could point out the negative aspec... |

What's your girlfriend mad at you for in the first place? What skills are you both lacking? Are you asking for help on ... |

| First off , let me say that I won't force her to do any of it but maybe someone has some ideas for me. She is 6 years old. All her friends can do all of these things and she is self conscious about it. The teacher was also getting on me about the shoe tying thing. 1. Tie her shoes 2. Ride a bike 3.... |

We generally get on better with eachother than with others and we're pretty good with eachother. BUT, because we're both aspies we both lack certain skills. Take today for example, she was ups... |

A better question would be "Why do people (NTs) treat Asperger's like such a negative thing? |

| The concept certainly makes sense. If Autism is a spectrum (and at one end) then there would have to be something at the other end would there not? I know of an example that fits this concept very well (I won't go into specific details though; confidentiality is a must!). There was a person at the s... |

But I've started cooking on my own and have been making up a lot of recipes in the process! :D I've been making... |

No one ever comes to try to make me feel better when I'm blue, when I am blue other people just approach me and tell me that what I do is... |

I love rainy weather far better than a sunny day and yet everyone will tell me its a 'beautiful' day when I think it is bad and they will say its a 'horrible' day when I think it is good. Oh well... And yeah, NTs like pointing out the obvious; its how they start a conv... |

| I don't understand what is meant by not being able to show empathy. I believe that everyone shows empathy and NTs just take some peoples silence as indifference. One does not have to make a song and dance about being empathic; empathy is part of the mind and doesn't have to be shown by the body. Whe... |

| I'm tired of NTs claiming that aspergers is a bad thing. Whilst waiting at the doctors I picked up a medical magazine and began to read it. My attention was drawn to some foolish scientists article on aspergers. He claimed that it was a "problematic" disability and his team was advancing in efforts ... |

Think about it, that poor creature had feelings too, it had a family, it lived a life, and it was most likely enjoying itself. Now it is dead because someone felt a little hungry.
