| I have the same issue. I don't feel hunger and don't know I need to eat until 18 hours later. I can easily go 36 hours before realizing I hadn't eaten. I attribute it too this: http://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleid=101770 Smell is an important factor to enjoying food and if your s... |

| A phrase that I use to try to explain is this: NTs care more about "How" you say something rather than "What" you say. Aspies care more about "What" you say and very little about the "How". This difference in what is important can cause a lot of communication problems. It's still baffling to me that... |

| It's also possible to "hide" behind a diagnosis. Meaning, you can start blaming the diagnosis instead of trying to solve the problem. For people who are high functioning and able to act independently, a diagnosis has no value for getting help and the chance of it being a hindrance is pretty good. Th... |

| In Chapter 3, Social Understanding and Friendship, Attwood describes children with AS as wanting to socialize and make friends, at least by the time they reach school-age, but not knowing how or going about it the wrong way. I feel that he has made a major assumption that children with AS do want t... |
