| So... I just thought... so many people over my life just disappeared into thin air... just because they were supposed to be 'professionals' and those kind of people vanish as soon as some set goal is achieved. I guess I'm the stupid one to think that I might have some sort of friendships with teach... |

| Anyone use a model like the one I use? 1) If it's worked before, do it again. This includes clothing, food, grooming, word choice. So my life sticks to a pretty clear routine. 2) If I need to make a decision on something new, then I ask my NT friends for their opinions, because I usually miss some v... |

| I read every entry on this thread. It's very interesting. I don't think we can answer the question of which is more rooted in the "real world" - NTs or Auties/Aspies. No matter our neurology, we each form only representations of reality. But NTs, I think, are as a whole because of their neurology "i... |

| Indeed, one year here! I haven't posted as often as I did at the beginning, but that's because Asperger's was so new to me. I wanted to thank anyone I've encountered here on the boards for making me feel welcome and for helping me, even in just the smallest way, become a better person and more accep... |

Or are they vanity projects? Why would you want to enlist in the armed services? If you have an Autism Spectrum Disorder ... |

| the pope (before he was pope) was involved in the cover-up of children being raped by priests and hasn't done much to remedy that. i don't see him being a good candidate, either, though i do appreciate his taking a stance on the evil of income inequality. "Children being raped." Uh huh. It sounds l... |

Wow what a cool post!
I used to collect little critters. Then I had a real dog. It kind of changed things. And then I moved so many times ... I think I lost all of them.  |

| Rogerian psychotherapy is all about "getting in touch with my feelings" to determine my "true self" so that I might achieve "self-actualization." It's not about right or wrong, which is actually why it is so incredibly dangerous. Rogers' own daughter used his therapy to justify leaving her husband a... |

| I've been through lots of therapy, most of it counterproductive, because the therapists never realized I had Aspergers. In retrospect, I have grounds to sue them for malpractice. Never ask an Aspie "who he is." He'll just get totally flummoxed. Advice: 1) Drop all Rogerian analysis. 2) Transactional... |

I still miss my dog Spot who was my buddy. He was smart, affectionate, athletic, cute, and loved to cuddle... |

| The pope represents Christ, and no earthly committee can rightly bestow an honor on the pope. I hope Pope Francis does not get this prize because I fear that, in his naïvite, he will accept it, which would demean his office. I would give the prize to a person of low estate who is sacrificing much pe... |

| @LoveNotHate See? I told you! Arguments from science can go both ways. In the physical sciences which operate a priori under a materialism framework, order does not presuppose some Orderer; neither does it preclude said Orderer. That's why I avoid such arguments. Faith is a gift. It's like another s... |
