| I can't imagine that I'd be any kind of person that would be preferable from my current perspective. I enjoy being the creature of focus, specialization, and obsession that I am. I can't see it as a detriment when this is the direction in which civilization yearns. I imagine that if I didn't have AS... |

| Latest from The Guardian newspaper: Vaughan Smith said there was no danger that Assange would flee from his country estate, as he can't read a map. More evidence of Assange being somewhere on or very close to the Autism Spectrum? ( Personally I'm good at reading maps, like them in fact, but I have ... |

| Lace-Bane, are you really 'not feeling,' or just not expressing? My understanding of the implications of the recent suggestion that AS does not involve a lack of empathy but an overload of it is consistent with how I'd describe my experiences with heightened emotions. I look unkindly on letting one'... |

| I was once asked to produce a visualization of Asperger Syndrome, or otherwise a visualization of my way of thought, and this came out of Apophysis: http://saerain.com/images/Saerain_AS-abstract_3200x2355.png I identified with it immediately and I've been using it as an avatar ever since.

| My dreams almost never involve people I know of, fictional or not. They're typically entirely created by my dreaming mind. I've been told that is odd. There have been exceptions, though. My first erotic dream, for example, was of a fictional male character from friggin' Sesame Street, named Sahu, pl... |

That they do, but I would figure that a moment's thought would snap them out of it.  |

If a vibration isn't heard, it's not a sound.' What people seemed to more readily understand is that a sight is not a sight unless it is seen. Ot... |

| Oh, oh, I know this one! May I take a swing? Probably because it's simply a poetic mask on the absence of superstition mixed with an aesthetic and attitude that parodies Christianity.

| It is not simple. Life is a very complex mechanism, consciousness more so, and complexity doesn't just exist, it develops. The more complex something is, the less probable it is. This is why Occam's Razor works. Either the universe started simple and became more complex, or something more complex th... |
