| Are people with ASDs more likely to start threads, just to judge and bash other human beings for things they themselves don't care for, that are none of their damn business? Let's hope not. I wasn't judging or bashing other people. I was just expressing my opinion about smoking. When I was 13, I ha... |

| What could happen if you never get a girlfriend, or even a female friend, you never even exchange hugs with a girl, and you never have sexual contact, your whole life? |

| I have enormous difficulty swearing at other people, while my normal classmates swear at each other all the time. I easily swear(out loud) when I'm alone and something makes me angry/frustrated(such as if I accidentally hit my head against an object, or get killed in a video game), but I almost nev... |

| I don't like being a "Butterfly". How do I change my title? I went to "Custom Rank" in the settings, but there's no option to change it. I can only change the birth date and profile picture. |

| I don't smoke and have never done it. I've just never felt tempted to do it. NTs start it usually because of peer pressure. However, I have Asperger's, thus the idea of fitting in socially is irrelevant to me (I'm not trolling, this is just the way I see things). My classmates have often tried to co... |

| I almost never listen to music. I've never been interested in it. I have a few songs on my phone and I only use them when I have an anoying song stuck in my head. |

| Yeah well, NTs have a built-in "weirdness radar" and can spot us easily. But if we just mind our own business and don't come across as annoying, our condition won't cause society to reject or discriminate us, I can tell from my own experience. We anyway can't conceal our unusual traits, since body l... |

| but in theory I only mainly have acquaintances, and only 1 or 2 real friends. I would be happy with that, I have zero right now. Consider yourself lucky ;) Anyway, I was a lot more sociable and spontaneous as a kid, I used to have several friends and play with them for hours every day. Now that I'm... |

| I don't have problems keeping eye contact, but I don't usually look people in the eyes, instead I look at their foreheads. I can look them in the eyes if I want, but I just don't find it appropriate for typical conversation. I'd use direct eye contact only in 2 situations: 1.A heated argument/confli... |

| I can talk to girls my age(I'm a male, currently 17) and I don't find it hard, I'm not shy with them(in fact I'm not shy with anyone), but due to my lack of spontaneity I rarely talk to anyone at school. And by the way I'm hetero, but due to my (mild) Asperger's, I've never had a girlfriend, unlike ... |

It's lifelong, one can't change it.
But what really matters, is how you cope with the social world and life in general, not your brain configuration. |
