Everyone is someone else!

I was diagnosed by a neurologist named Kimberly Clark who works for Fraser in Minnesota back in 2004.

My name is Ben Fournier.

Buy a pellet-gun and everytime you think you see a pedophille just shoot the computer screen.

(Don't actually do this.)

The usual rules of internet personal security apply here like anywhere else on the net, don't give out personal details etc.

Unless you're like me and just don't give a darn. Whoever wishes to hurt me would find themselves facing a 250 Lb adult male who believes in self-defense.

They may maquerading round the place as an AS but they are really NT.

we need a better AS test to see if peole are really AS.

Oh, you caught me: I'm part of an elite terrorist unit trained by the Illuminati to penetrate asperger communities in order to inform the government how to wipe out the autistic race.

I think diagnoses are too rigid - no one's going to show exactly the same signs of a syndrome, because everyone's mind has somewhat different wiring. And discriminating on such superficial characteristics as diagnoses does not help us to bond and respect each other as a specie.
