| I recently read an article that stated a theory that autism is somewhat connected to being a genius. Talk about a boost in self-worth. Any thoughts? How does that bolster your self worth? Are you going to take credit for someone else qualities or accomplishments? If you worked on accomplishing some... |

| When I had my assessment, I told the psychiatrist that I was very embarrassed about my obsession and that she was the only person I had ever told. I assumed she would keep this information to herself and wouldn't feel the need to explicitly mention it in the report ... but I was wrong. "She told me... |

Indeed, I find the jackasses that paint with a broad brush are often the worst at practicing civility.

Anybody else here had problems there? :twisted: I haven't. I have been a member there almost 4 year... |
