| ^^^ ewww, YUCK. What a nightmare. You have my sincerest sympathy. All I can think of is.... Valium. Klonopin, Xanax, or any other benzo will be fine. Just keep in mind it's hella hard to procure from your doctor since they're schedule IV drugs and you'll have to jump through flaming hoops just to g... |

| I think this is something everyone does, neurotypical or autistic. We just happen to have a bigger divide between our public and private persona than NTs. It also doesn't come natural to us to act in ways that aren't "ourselves" so it gets really tiresome after awhile. With NTs, I think they sometim... |

| I've had people obsessions many times. But they were mostly over authority figures such as teachers, professors, and a pastor. I think I was just looking for fatherly attention and love because I lacked it at home and my own biological parents weren't there for me much. The one with my former pastor... |

Um, I don't think they "forgot" you, unfortunately. They just didn't want you at the party and made the infamous NT "I forgot" excuse. |

| Because we are sexxy and awesome. Before someone starts to flame me I'm joking. Ah, but it is true, joking or no. :wink: I guess it's because we have an "innocent" vibe about us? We don't have that brash, worldly persona that NTs tend to carry on effortlessly. We're still like curious, playful, exc... |

| I do indeed think that autistic children shouldn't been born into a world that is not prepared to accept them, tells them they have a mental disease and drives them into social isolation or worse. So I guess I am a psychopath Nazi. Wow. If that's the case, then people with Down Syndrome, Microcepha... |

There are myriad reasons I believe for people using that kind of response, not the least of which can be things like "Well, I had a hard time too, why should I help them any, they should have to figure it... |

| Nice quiz. But "neither/nor" should be an option for answers on some of those questions. You are 25% neurotypical! You aren't that neurotypical. Social skills aren't your strong suit and you tend to have more skill in other areas, however, you may still enjoy socializing. It is likely that you are a... |

| People grieve over the death of others because they will miss them. Aspies tend not to have many close relationships so we don't have a lot of experience in losing someone close enough for us to feel sorrow over their death. Also, when people die prematurely over something that could've been prevent... |

| This thread is very close-minded and offensive. Most aspies are considered strange and eccentric by normal people. If you prejudge these people than you should prejudge yourself as well. Amen. We're a bunch of weirdos ourselves. I think we have a hard time just accepting that and whenever other ecc... |
