Send them to me. As a side hustle, I'm offering my services for various writing projects, such as ghostwriting, editing and proofreading, and pretty much anything that lies in between. I've put a posting up on Craig's List, but if you know anyone at your school or somewhere that needs a paper writte... |

Tell them that you are not lazy.. Explain to them that you have Aspergers Syndrome and that this makes you more tired and lose energy on things that NT's can handle. That is my suggestion, but then again, I am very open with what my problems are and who I am. This might not fit anyone because it ca... |

I am in a conundrum. I want to date and (eventually, anyway), find a girlfriend. However, having a girlfriend (or wife) cheat on me is one of my worst fears. It explains, partially, why I have never gone on a date. You see, if a woman rejects my proposal for a date, it wouldn't be too bad but I wou... |

Your hands don't work right, you can't speak well, you remember too much of everything, you can't get your mind off certain topics, you don't stand or walk right, you can't tell when someone isn't being sincere, etc. |

Self-aggrandisement is an important part of winning others' favor, and as such, NTs usually focus on that. After all, nobody else is going to tell everyone who good they are. You must realize, most NTs are concerned with winning the favor of their peers, so this behavior should be expected. In contr... |

This is a short piece I wrote on memory. I have a nearly eidetic memory, so this piece reflects the struggles it can present, rather than the benefits most people espouse. Seal yourself away, hide deep in the sand. Pain, frustration caused by memories carved in your brain; faces, places, people, voi... |

I've only seen one person online from Minnesota, and none from my childhood hometown (Columbus, OH). It might just seem more common in the US because it's a big country - I mean, this is an English-speaking website, and the US has more English-speakers than any other country, right? I think AS is e... |

It's true, especially since a lot of people learn that at an early age. And psychopaths can do it without falter. |

I have red hair, my brother has red hair, and my Mom has red hair. Me and my brother both have Asperger's. I have many aunts with red hair as well. Red hair is on the decline though, it is predicted that in just a few more generations there won't be any red-heads at all! This disturbs me. I must do... |

Yes. I find I don't do it too often in public, but when I'm alone or with someone I'm comfortable with, I stim out alot. It's very relaxing. |

A favorite radio host of mine, Dennis Prager, says he used to be a liberal Democrat, back in the Kennedy years, but switched parties when he realized that the Democrats, and liberalism in general, didn't mean the same thing today that they did 30 years ago. That most of the values Democrats used to... |

I seriously dislike how he introduces politics into his article. It has little or nothing to do with asperger's. Plus, the labels "Liberal" and "Conservative" are practically meaningless. I don't see how a "Conservative" society (if by what he means is the championing of private industry over govern... |
