| I have always wondered why people don't find this character offensive... the whole point of each show is what an ass Sheldon is... this is terrible for the aspie community. Maybe a small part of society thinks he is cool but most the rest of the world will just use it against us... Anyone who takes... |

| To put it simply, society has forced us to develop the means to think with an objectivity (ie the result of the damage of collective thinking) that society will never have. I don't think we have it by design, we develop it as a defense mechanism to society's rubbish. I agree that NT societal "rubbi... |

| Here is another positive characteristic: Objectivity... As a group, I think it is quite common for aspies to have a greater desire to be in touch with reality, rather than service the needs of collective or mob thinking. In essence, NTs are often more concerned with tribal harmony, even at the expen... |

Before the development of a physical community centre is established, shouldn't we create an aspie social protocol first?

Has this been discussed/resolved already? |

| From your blog: "New situations are scary for us. And by new situations, I mean things that you take for granted. If NTs go to a bar regularly, it is very easy to go to another bar and enjoy themselves. A different bar for an Aspie is something else entirely." Very true... It has taken me many month... |
