| ASpartOfMe, I can identify with your two points, I feel this way about my current skills. Eggheadjr, it is good to hear that diagnosis opened up the possibility of deeper happiness. Thank you both.

| Think about it: how would Aspies fare in the Concentration Camps? Were it not for Dr. Hans Asperger, they would have been sent to their deaths, starting with the doctor's subjects. Like a real hero, he protected them from being "put to sleep" by the Nazis. Too bad his name sounds like ASS-BURGERS(S... |

What must be understood is that NT psychs think differently. Aspie Pyschs would tend to strictly follow the criteria. Many NT psyc... |

| I thought of another interpretation. The person is on the spectrum, is embarrassed about it and wants a cure for themselves.

| Since people not on the spectrum are allowed to post one can't assume the poster is on the spectrum, therefore it is not redundant. Even if only people on the spectrum were allowed to post it still should be allowed. I use my user name to express how I feel about my autism. I do wish we were allowed... |

| About not wanting to doing the the work the IEP does it may be a matter of a union contract saying they can't do that.
