| not if Selkie sees you, velodog! :wink: he will out you casually to the whole thread by describing your parentage and how you have or do not have AS by employing empirical analysis and a bit of light reading.

| *nods* I think it is a reasonable complaint to some extent. I know a couple of guys who claim they have AS. They were both raised by wealthy and entitled old hippies. Having become close with a legitimate asbie and having done a some reading on the subject, I suspect the two guys in question are bo... |

| Elementary school . . . I almost didn't make it into kindergarten, because I flunked the entrance test. For one of the questions, we had to draw a self-portrait in a box in the middle of the page. I drew myself as if I were sitting in the box, so certain parts of the body were not drawn (they were b... |

| In their view, both laypeople and women could be considered lesser beings. If you can't control one, you have no business controlling the other. :roll: What bothers me about Abrahamic religions is that they're trying to apply tribal law in the 21st century. If one's survival depends on unity of a sm... |

Depends on who you're showing it too. If you vaule their opinion as discriminating readers of good taste, I would listen to what they have to say. If not, screw 'em.

| First of all, I apologise if there is a special forum for these posts which I have overlooked. But . . . I have been wondering if I have AS. I am ambivalent about what a diagnosis would "mean", but am still curious about if it would explain certian 'quirks'. I was a strangely difficult child. When I... |
