| I thought that was our whole problem to begin with. We don't absorb the info we need to adapt socially, we miss the signs NTs pick up and we have to be told directly. I certainly didn't learn skills through osmosis. It was mostly through making mistakes and being corrected or realising that what I ... |

| Hello, More often than not, osmosis might very well be the best experiences regarding Aspergers; especially if quality people are a part of one's life experiences early on! Overthinking/overcompensation might actually draw energies away from immersion in important life examples (for lack of better w... |

| Long-term memories can be a trait of the Autism-spectrum; an advantage in remembering possible past-lives. For example, long-term memories can yield decades-old memories from childhood; hence memories from childhood of strong deja-vu like experiences of interest to possible (out of conjecture) past-... |

I've pretty-much learned to avoid letting emotions "get the best of us!"
Most of what sensitivities I (subtlety) feel are those sentiments of being well......on the 'wrong planet.'

| Oh yes, I'm quick to notice British spellings of word, and drawing comparison with their American counterparts. I'm quick to note words such as; colour, harbour, and favourable; as the American versions (the only primarily English speaking country in the world) drop the 'u' -- hence spellings; color... |

Hello,
Does anybody know about the 'Dirty Jobs' segment on the cement manufacturer (cement kiln) plant that applies tires in the process of making cement?
What episode featured the segment on the cement kiln? Or, what were the other 'Dirty Jobs' featured with the cement kiln segment?
Thank-you |

Hello,
Does anybody notice patterns within seemingly random images? Noticing constellation-like patterns is an example of pattern-recognition abilities.
Any recommendations for specific websites / research into the brain's pattern recognition abilities?

I advocate, without Regional Center support, becoming acquainted with adults concerned with Aspergers (on a more or less informal basis).
