| I picked "not lonely and don't need friends" - because I'm just weird that way, and enjoy my solitude. (I actually feel more alone when I'm with people, and don't fit in!) But I do love my family, and enjoy interacting with other people a bit... I just don't 'bond' with anyone properly, a... |

Your first inclination would probably be to rol... |

| It is an acceptible slur and stereotype up in here in New York. It means they are descibing the person as uneducated, has poor taste, is financialy poor, and is bigoted and comes from a rural area. It is in every way describing the person described as white trash as both other and lesser. But it is ... |

| I watched an old episode of Criminal Minds in which Aspergers figured promintly. A psycho took two families hostage, one of the hostages was an aspie boy. Spencer Ried started talking about Aspergers traits and how some past geniuses are thought to be Aspies. His female colleague said "like you... |

| A$ partnered with them, don't be too happy about that. What a joke. They squandered a good opportunity and tainted their reputation. ASAN also partnered with them. Let's see how the character is actually depicted. So far it has been about accepting differences. If it ends up Julia is getting normal... |

| Nothing is wrong with you. You are not doing something that is crazy for someone suffering with Autism/Asperger's. Do you realize that for a woman to be in a relationship with you, she must dedicate part of her life, time, effort into being with you? If you can't adjust to her tastes and pet-peeves... |

| To me self diagnosing or a person without the medical training diagnosing is no different from the 'anti vaccine moms' who are just 'sure' they 'know' what's going on and what to do. The anti vaxers have a dozen or more peer reviewed studies saying what they they know is wrong. That is not the case... |
