    Do People Think You Are Blaming Them?

    So, you are saying that I consider myself to be an inferior person? I'm afraid I don't agree. I don't recognize "social status." I'll go along with "authority" because of the consequences if I don't but I definitely don't consider them to be somehow superior to me. If you are suggesting that...

    Do People Think You Are Blaming Them?

    I'm old so I can get easily away with pretending to be hard of hearing but it happens quite often that I can't understand what someone is saying. I read somewhere that Aspie's sometimes have trouble hearing voices especially if there is other ambient noise. I usually just say "sorry, could you...

    Very shy, have Trouble saying hi...

    Hi Heather! I don't know what a "tag" is either. When I was a kid I didn't talk very much at all. Now I talk too much! I've only been here about 10 days (I think) and so far it looks like you can ask or talk about anything or everything that concerns you. :) Oh, I think I just figured...

    Where can I rate places that are sensory friendly?

    My vocabulary was rapidly deteriorating from being online. Many posts are so badly written that I can't even tell if someone is for or against the issue. Most people can't seem to write a five word sentence without at least two spelling errors and a grammar error. I was actually helpful when...

    Does anybody else absolutely hate the term "aspie(s)"

    I seem to be missing the "obnoxious, diminutive" aspect of the term "Aspie." I don't ever recall reading it being used in a derogatory manner. I guess what I was trying to say is that society needs to categorize people in different ways and each category can have sub-categories and what may...

    Does anybody else absolutely hate the term "aspie(s)"

    I was just reading the thread: What's Your IQ? (Free-IQTest) It's full of Aspies with scores well-above gifted and many in the upper stratosphere. I see being brilliant as a plus! At one point in my life I was looking for answers so I investigated Mensa. Well, they had/have a "cutoff" point...

    What's Your IQ? (Free-IQTest)

    Very interesting.... I supposedly didn't speak until I was four and it was a complete sentence. I score 168 on the SB tests. I was a whiz at algebra but that wasn't until high school. As far as I know nobody ever suspected me of being on the spectrum but thinking back it should have been...

    What's Your IQ? (Free-IQTest)

    I always end up with a lower IQ when I take these kinds of tests so that doesn't do anything to help boost my ego. ;) I was tested at age 6, again at age 9, and again at age 22 and it was always the same except I found an error on the test at 22 so I didn't answer it which lowered my score by...

    Does anybody else absolutely hate the term "aspie(s)"

    Aliens? Aspie is a lot catchier than "pervasive developmental disorder" or "autism spectrum disorder" or whatever other terms they come up with. Personally I don't feel like I have a developmental disorder, it's more like the NTs are the ones that are lacking, at least in many respects. I'm...

    Is It Realistic To...

    I've been with my NT girlfriend a little over three years and it just keeps getting better! More recently she has been reading about Asperger's and relationships so she it getting a better understanding. She was also a school teacher and principal and has taught autistic children so that gives...

    How fast do you read?

    I read three books about Asperger's in one day, so I guess that fast. If I'm reading posts here I tend to read quickly, but carefully and slowly re-read anything that I am responding to. If it's something technical I may re-read it a dozen times, and usually very slowly, sometimes one word at...

    What’s With the Good Morning Thing?

    And what the hell does "sleep tight" mean anyway?

    If anyone would know what they are called it would be the people here ;)

    Where can I rate places that are sensory friendly?

    I haven't heard of anyone using Boolean operators for many years! And yes, I have tried them. But that doesn't necessarily I tried the right ones ;)

    Where can I rate places that are sensory friendly?

    In the past whenever I have researched "quiet" anything I did not find much at all. I did read about one community somewhere in the USA that had restrictions on loud lawn mowers, pool pumps, leaf blowers, etc but not much about loud stereos, TVs, etc. And it doesn't help when you have people...
