| A right/left divide makes sense to me, but it's still the same cause of the condition: some parts of the brain highly developed, some connections underdeveloped. Thats like saying "if you break the arm or if you break the leg its part of the same condition: one of your limbs works fine and the... |

| I wish Asperger's would be taken out of the autism umbrella. I think it should be a separate disorder, like dyspraxia, learning difficulties or ADHD. Most people with Asperger's that I know of are mostly eccentric, socially awkward but not clueless, good at masking, are highly sociable, can natural... |

| My first diagnoses was autistic spectrum disorder and then I was placed with Asperger's by the same doctor. I see the ASD diagnoses as a temporary diagnoses until he figured out what diagnoses to give me. Were you first diagnosed under DSM 4 or under DSM 5? It seems weird in both cases. If you were... |

| One of the British posters on here said their brother was recently diagnosed with Aspergers even though it was meant to have been declassified here in 2013 and I also recently received information about Aspergers from the Autism service the doctor referred me to... the leaflet tells you about Asper... |

| Serial killers can be really arrogant and self important for one thing. They're often obsessed with power, which I don't think is entirely uncommon, it's just they express it in uncommon ways which cause conflict. So are you saying she will think I am "obsessed with power" -- as in "... |

| Additionally, people associate this kind of obsession with, like, serial killers and stalkers and things because that's what serial killers and stalkers actually do. Thats what I don't get: what is the connection between doing what I am doing and being serial killer? I guess to be honest I don't un... |

| It's possible but I have a story that is a little similar. Short, there was this girl who I seen in 7th-8th grade but never had actual connection with beyond a couple words. We both went to other schools after that, I did develop an obsession with her all until a few years after I finished my high ... |

In particular, back when I was studying quantum field theory, I was stuck on things that appear way too abstract and difficult to visualize, and so I spent several years trying to find a way to visualize... |

| Hmm. I'm relating less and less to this thread. I'd never try and convert a partner. Just as I wouldn't expect them to convert me. I want to already get along and meet half way. I eat pork, but I wouldn't expect them to abstain if I did. Just as long as they remembered not to make me a ham sandwich... |

| I think it's rather about social connections. The Jews were present in the progressive, internationalist, more intellectual wing and absent in more conservative, working class-backed wing with nationalist tendencies. In America that is true as well: 80% of Jews vote democrat and only 20% vote Repub... |
