| It may have improved, and is more okay to talk about in some places and medias, and some laws have improved. Some places are still ignorant of other sexualities or personalities. Bathrooms are still a big issue for me, I often get mistaken for the wrong sex and people flip out and call security and... |

| Yeah, I figured it out. The part I found funny was that I hadn't realized that before I read it, and how not realizing that it might be offensive is yet another thing that points to me being on the spectrum. Cool. 8) And yep. I know the feeling. I had a lot of realizations like that while reading T... |

| One thing I kinda laughed about was after I read it a couple times and thinking about this line: "If he comes to my house and brings his computer, I do not take offense but instead am happy to have him visit." Then I thought about it, and I was like "Wait.... So, most people would find this offensi... |

| Hmmmm. You seem to know a lot about sophisticated, alcoholic, mixed drinks for being Autistic. Why would being Autistic preclude one form knowing drink recipes? :? I bartended for about 5 years in the past and may do it again for the money. Granted, most of the time I wasn't making overly complicat... |

Not me exactly, but I know an Aspie like this. You're not alone.

| Some of the best places to approach and meet women are where they normally wouldn't expect to be approached by men (i.e. shopping mall, book store, library etc.). It sounds silly but you can just walk up to them and say something like 'I just thought you looked beautiful, so I wanted to say hello' ... |

| That's pretty cool. Reminds me of when I first read "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome," and realized the way I was.. and I felt extremely fortunate to have certain friends in my life despite my differences. On the flip side of the coin, I've also learned to recognize these same differences ... |

| I am sorry I didn't mean to say he doens't have a right to go outside, but if he needs to stim so noticeably for 15 minutes or so, then maybe he should go to a bathroom, and do it in a toilet stall away from others.

| While I tend to agree with most of this & I'm familiar with fractional reserve banking, it is still possible to get ahead financially. People do it every day.
