| What kind of music was being played on the radio during this time? I don't remember, we usually had cassettes or records playing. But I do have two songs that I remember hearing over the PA, at two different stores. One was Back in the High Life Again by Steve Winwood, and the other was You've Lost... |

| Fun since I was a teenager. Video games at home included Atari with space invaders, pac man, etc. MTV had just come out in the early 80’s and it was actually pretty good and included music videos and not just bad tv shows. Big hair was in and women in the Navy were allowed to serve on ships startin... |

| And, of course, autism without signs of learning or language difficulties was not known at all. Aspies who were around in that era didn't have the slightest idea why we found life so difficult compared to our peers. There weren't even unofficial places to get advice and support like WrongPlanet, so... |

| The answer to the topic should be obvious. You can meet stranger girls in hobby groups, religious groups, dancing and probably a few more. But you just don't go join these groups and then go right up to some girl asking for a date (that would kill your chances in that group). You flirt with them an... |

| The problem is not the idea itself, but the way some people believe that you can manipulate people to avoid ending up there. "Act like a macho dickhead, and you won't end up in the friendzone," has been repeated endlessly. Rather than accepting that people get attracted to each other for ... |

| Basically, male genitals are all-out and very visible so if you wanted an equivalent situation from woman's side, she'd have to detach her vulva, hold it in her hand and say "heeeey heeeeey... in your face!":D or lie on the table and suddenly spread her legs. I bet many men seeing a hairy... |

| I was one of the research subjects in Simon Baron-Cohen's studies in the early to mid-90s. Went up to Cambridge about twice, then stuck my head in an MRI scanner for it - along with Uta's FPET scanner work... and loads of other tests and studies. After being personally DX'd by Lorna Wing in 1987. I ... |

| I don't relate to it at all. And although I'm not devoid of logic -- quite frankly that would make me stupid and I'm not a stupid person -- I would say I am an emotional person, which I feel is tied into my artistic abilities. I feel; I'm an INFJ. Again, that doesn't mean I don't use logic too. I d... |

| I think the EMB theory is an oversimplification. It seems to me like if all aspies fit a "high systemizing / low empathizing" neurotype, we wouldn't have so many religious aspies. Just wondering - do the Christian devout Aspies skew towards Calvinism? John Calvin was a lawyer - and law co... |
