| I have absolute pity for any person pathetic enough to have been so affected by me in highschool that my failure would elicit some response of joy in them. How terribly worthless do you have to be, to wish for and celebrate the lack of success of some other individual. If they were really that tied ... |

| I've met a couple of people that I believe have Asperger's and also have what I'd define as a lower than average level of intelligence. But they function differently to NT's in the same way I function differently to NT's. Those that have AS that I'd consider to also possess a high IQ, are similarly ... |

| I often can't complete a list of simple tasks if one task cannot be completed or is taking longer than expected. But when it comes to larger projects, I have the opposite problem. I usually lose interest/momentum and start a new project, never finishing any that I start. Some days are worse than oth... |

| The problem with video cards is that quite often the software will simply check for your card on a list, and if it's not there, it tells you your card is not good enough. So, even if you have a superior card or one that will easily chug through whatever the software requires of it, it still will ass... |
