| My mom was an early feminist of sorts, so I grew up without the usual stereotypes. At my 1st real job in a big company, they asked me if I was OK having a female "foreman." I had to ask them to repeat the question - I'd been taking orders from women at home and school all my life. Over the last seve... |

Sleep pattern is very random, but probably averages 7 hours per day, usually in two parts.
Why do we still have to struggle with people who think human development is all nurture, no nature? |

| I did it too. Closest pin is a 5 hr drive west. Even my nearest traffic light is an hour away, and there are none at all for 3/8 of the compass until the next continent. |

| All very intellectual and difficult for me to understand - but I think I can relate to the logic bit. Logic is the only thing in the univers that makes sense - but with humans - it just doesn't seem to apply. How can anyone understand human relations when there is little or no logic involved? Am I ... |

| Personally, I still find "to act like a pleasant [and status-quo-content] monkey" disgusting in more than one way ... so here I sit.[/quote] I used to feel that "manners" were social slavery, and dishonest too. Now, I see them as handy guidelines for navigating unknown waters. Nobody really knows wh... |

| I believe that even if you weren't in the autistic spectrum, you would most likely still be marginalized because you are a woman in her 40s who is childfree. I am 38, female and deliberately child-free and have found great difficulty making friends with women in my age bracket who are mothers. I am... |

| When my mother was dying 5 years ago, my NT sister was still trying to get her to do regular mother stuff. I'd had some theories from studying dysfunctional families, etc, but did more reading, and finally discovered AS, which we both had/have. Too late for her, but her life plan had been to deny he... |

| Hi Gothstone, Welcome to the club. Earlier this year, I mentioned my AS to another guy on a techie list, and he wrote back that he'd looked up the term and realized that he had gone 50 years without knowing he had it too. The clinical trials of Anti-Depressants mostly used sugar pills for the contro... |

| P.S. Sociobiology has done a lot to explain life for me. I'm working on an essay about why bisexuals and feminists hate it. |

| Sometimes I get a lot from body language, but I think that knowing the exact amount of money, rather than just "enough" or "not enough" gets into psychic ability. I've had a few times when I thought I was reading minds, but more often I have a deja vu. Twice, they have been dreams coming true. The t... |
