My uncle is scizophernic so I know how you feel. They can almost read your mind when you're talking to them. Just don't put any pressure on yourself to be normal because everyone has their own quirks and it's okay to be the way you are. |

I'm not really sure. There are a lot of people who are patronizing or downright cruel to LFAs but at the same time, there are people who don't believe asperger's exists. They think we're making it up, like it's some conspiracy that weird people with no friends made up (yeah, we all got together wit... |

I don't know, but I suspect society "accepts" them more than how people with AS are regarded. Mostly, full autistic people have an obvious issue. Society and polite behavior can deal with that.
