Eww!

Y'know like when there are threads about films and it's obligatory netiquette to have ***SPOILER ALERTS*** before saying something that might spoil the movie for someone who hasn't yet watched it?

Well, can we have a ***GROSS ALERT*** for when people start talking about their dogs licking their face or licking their bums or whatever? Please. That's just put me off my cheese on toast. Barf.

AS guys seem to have a kind of appearance in their face. Also, most of the ones I've seen don't have much of a sense of fashion and/or obsessed with Pokemon. :?

I got a dog. Made a big difference. I had her about a year and then realized a lot of things. Like when she licks my face, she is exchanging grooming bonding gestures. Dogs can't clean their own faces and they get clumpy around the eyes, etc. if they don't have a buddy to help them out. I've been learning about how their grooming and protective bonding behaviors have emotional meaning for them, because they are sharing how to take care of each other. Now I understand her "hints" more (she licks my face when she wants me to clean her face) and so on. Doggie ToM. She's a total no-show on the A-DAR tracker tho. So this is, apparently, an NT dog!


cool...ive never been a dog person though, i prefer rodents and cats ect.. i will decide probably today, but as i have the flu at the moment i am sort of stuck at home....but i might go out to get the fury beast anyways:)

A-dar huh? I don't think I have it- I've never met anyone with an ASD that I would *know* of, and statistically that's not very likely, so I guess I lack it, big time :(

I do have a good sense for negative, destructive people and those I avoid.

I agree. It's totally gross to lick your own butt. It's much more pleasant when someone else does it.

I do this sometimes... Once I was talking to someone and I thought they acted Aspie, after a few months I was almost certain... Eventually I linked them to the Aspie-quiz and it said they where a Aspie!

She now has a official diagnosis and is a member of this forum! :)

For those who have read this the other 100000 times I posted it, you will know its gina-ghettoprincess :D

better say aspie-dar. Gay dar is gay dar and not g-dar. But better change it into indigo-dar. Sounds way better.

better than what, just represents a name of the guy who diganosed it. Indigo is a nice colour, the bedouin in the Sahara are called the blue men, because the indigo has gone via the cloth around their face into the skin and have an indigo sheen about them. And blue, well, many aspies feel blue. SO, Indigo more apropriate, hehe

If no one done the research and published papers on Asperger's then all Aspies would still be confused and upset, not knowing who they are etc. so I think Aspie is more appropriate.

I am very grateful to Hans Apserger for his research.

Grateful for allowing us to know why we are different and come to terms with it... Just ask someone here who was diagnosed at a later age how stressful it was.
