| I know these were already mentioned, but Robert Goren from Law and Order: Criminal Intent displays numerous AS traits. He is highly analytical, has numerous idiosyncratic interrogation and investigative techniques and his partner Eames even compares a suspect who does have Asperger's to him by sayin... |

| This is difficult for me to frame in writing, as it is primarily a sense linked to a series of events, not a discrete event. Prior to the past couple years, (albeit battling dysthymic disorder and low-grade depression) I had grown intellectually, being interested in a myriad number of topics (Latin ... |

| My IQ is only 150, so I'm not quite in your genius class. The result is from a Mensa test I took thirty years ago. I have no idea if it is the same now. The biggest frustration for me is not being able to communicate some of the things that I know because they exist as complex structures in my mind... |

| Yeah, I have good A-dar. Especially when working with younger kids, those that have AS are very reminiscent of myself at that age. |

| I love this show. I watched several on Discovery channel last year and was hooked, as ever since Beyind Belief went off the air, you just cant find a good spooky show. They have some of the freakiest effects ever and tend to make me jump in surprise when one of those shadowy shapes suddenly appears.... |

| Feh. Nothing to get in a debate over. I actually quit editing Wiki a while back because of stupid editors making up their own rules. That's why I distrust Wikipedia. I always check the facts from much more reputable sources before following them. The editing discussions can be stunningly idiotic as... |

We recently closed down our Bible Study on campus (active 6 years) because there were too many new ones starting up at our timeslot and the attendance was suffering.
