    My 25 year old son has Asperger's and is stealing from me. Help

    Seriously? I see no reason why you can't punish him normally. He may be an aspie, but that doesn't mean he's retarded. And at 25 years old? Jesus Christ... don't give him any excuses and stop justifying his actions as part of his "condition". I don't know the precise nature of your relationship...

    How did everyone react to your Asperger's diagnosis?

    So far I have refused to disclose my diagnosis to anyone. If someone directly asks me if I have aspergers/autism spectrum disorder, I do have a documented diagnosis, and I will tell them as such. However, if a person does not ask, then I will not mention. I'm high functioning enough to where I...

    Does anyone feel bad when no one calls/texts you to start a conversation?

    To be honest, I get annoyed when people do message me. Although, I should clarify what I mean by this. I usually take some amount of effort to compose my own comments on facebook statuses that I enjoy. Usually, the result is the bare minimum token effort on the part of the other person. It can...

    What really moves you?

    Anything that evokes thoughts of strength & power, struggle and defiance, or success in the face of all odds tends to move me. It might be apparent why. :)

    Obsession, how others abuse me for it then make use of it

    Many aspies are very strict and rigorous in their thought patterns, myself included. As a result, we are more consistent and abhor dishonesty more than most regular people. However, 'typicals are more relaxed in their thought patterns, and maintain consistent behavior for much shorter periods of...

    What era would you like to live in?

    Anyone using Linux?

    King Oni, Linux is a very powerful operating system that can do a lot more than windows. Unfortunately, it has no pretty graphics or simple Wizards. Different distributions treat users in different ways, of course. For example, Ubuntu adequately helps new users by bloating the software and...

    Any Difficulties With School?

    I could probably have straight A's and a 4.0 GPA if I didn't insist on correcting my professors. Sadly, I'm not particularly adept at hiding disdain.

    college troubles

    I used to believe that I could have protection from insensitivity to aspergers syndrome. Eventually, however, I realized that there is no real legal protection whatsoever. Much of the social programs and disabilities offices on college campuses are token services that are required by the federal...

    You know what we need?

    Fair enough. But how much are you going to pay me?

    Help me to understand conflict...

    It's basic group cohesion theory. In any environment where there is an established inner circle, any newcomer must find a way to align himself with the group. The discussion of monkeys simply serves as a ritual by which others can achieve status. e.g. by shouting out about how much they love...

    Sensory Overload

    I used to have difficulties with this. Sensory overload was an issue whenever I left the house. Although, I've gotten better at dealing with it. Earlier this year, I embarked on a plan of self improvement, actually. I essentially would shock my system through intense sensory stimulation...

    Do you do the Aspie Stare?

    When posing for pictures, I usually recall how I feel about life or some other subject-matter. Usually, I'm able to evoke a face that fits the situation. When dealing with people, I used to have difficulty looking others in the eye. Today, I have less trouble with speaking and looking at others...
