| I believe the correct answer for me is that I didn't even realize that I was different, that others could see it but I couldn't. |

Because there may be newly diagnosed spectrum-dwellers reading this and questioning themselves, I am not asexual.
Like someone else has said, if you met one person autistic person, you met one autistic person. |

| Oh man Halloween. Had lots of fun in college despite being an Aspie. This one Halloween I went with my son and my wife's (female) friend and her son trick-or-treating. We get to this one house and the woman is dressed up in a French maid outfit. Yes that kind of outfit. And I had to pretend like I d... |

Consider uBlock Origin over Adblock for blocking ads.
I am sort of pissed, I donated to both Adblock and Adblock Plus, and one or both of them went to "acceptable ads".
Actually I would be open to "acceptable ads" if I got to choose what was acceptable or not. |

| I am too lazy to find exact page numbers, but as I recall from Robison's book, wanted to be something different is a common Aspie trait. It is for this reason that some Aspies make good actors and actresses (did I actually spell that right first try?). Not sure what to call it, it wasn't a date. I w... |

| Sorry, I should have been paying attention. You could use a hard drive enclosure to go from one of IDE/SATA to USB. If you have a desktop computer, you could (with the power off) just open up the case and connect the hard drive to one of the IDE or SATA; but if its IDE, you have to get the MASTER/SL... |
