| My wife and I are both autistic (aspergers). I am higher functioning than my wife is a few areas. She finds it hard to process verbal information, and often does so very slowly, especially with people she doesn't know. She has a high IQ, but just finds processing information face to face very hard. ... |

I don't know. I wish I knew what reality is. It vexes me and wastes too much of my brain power thinking about it.
My current philosophy goes along with Carl Jung's quote:
"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." |

| It's not just kids but obviously they are the most vulnerable to it. Bush became born again at 40 (but was probably raised in some vague tradition). Seventeen years later he's calling up the French President to encourage him to join the fight in Iraq by saying, "Gog and Magog are at work in the Mid... |

As they grow up they have been given core beliefs, that if they'd been able to think about it for themselves, would probably not be part of... |

| The Daily Mail is not a reputable news outlet. ROFL. Agreed. I once saw a donor card with "in he event of my death I wish my spleen to be forcibly hurled at the editor of the Daily Mail" Apologies for the low brow choice of newspaper. It was the first one that came up when I googled the co-op. |

| I think it also starts at with parents and at school, where kids are valued for just blindly following authority. A good kid = one who makes the parent's/teacher's life easy. Shhh don't make the adults think. It's also part of British culture to not create a fuss. Strong emotions are frowned on. Mus... |

My wife got a diagnosis through the charity Open Doors who were running a program in our area. Our original GP was next to useless and wouldn't even believe we had AS.
Is it worth trying a charity? |

| As someone with Aspergers I often feel like I am more detached from the world rather than being swept up along with it. Many things that happen, which society seems to accept as normal, fascinate me as to how illogical and seemingly idiotic they are. My current bugbear is it seems to me that the maj... |
