| I am both a psychologist and an adult HF aspie (folks say I have one foot in and one foot out - lol). Luckily my niche interest is human behavior and cognition. That said, a 30 point difference in verbal versus performance IQ is not typical of most children. Of more relevance (in my opinion) is whet... |

so i go out and run - defrag my head, and when i get back, i am nice again. 3 miles is the minimum that is sufficient. 6-8 is optimal, 10 or more hurts my left foot  |

depends on
1) insight - how aware are you of your needs/differences/deficits?
2) motivation - do you want to change them,
3) knowledge - do you know how to do it differently? |
