| KingdomofRats, feel free to skip any items you wish. Alternately, you can ask for clarification on whatever you don't understand and I will do my best to put it in different words. |

| And, yes, I mean for you to actually complete the questionnaire. You can do so in this thread if you'd rather keep your writing on this site: 1. How old are you? 2. What is your sex? 3. What is your occupation (or, if you are a student, area of study)? 4. How old were you when you realized you had a... |

| In other words, is your ability to visualize compromised in some way? If so, would you mind completing the following questionnaire? http://icantvisualize.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/kylehs-questionnaire/ Yes, I know that no one has done it yet. It was just published last night. Come on, people--I know ... |

| Bumping this thread on account of the outstanding piece on Amy that ran in the New Yorker recently. Reading this article, it was abundantly clear to me that Amy has Asperger's. I did a quick Google search and found this thread full of people who, of course, deny this up and down, despite the fact th... |

| I am unable to drive with one exception--I can drive on a thruway (or any other long, straight stretch of road) just fine, as doing so is quite simple...if you've passed one vehicle, you've passed them all. There's no trying to figure out what should happen at intersections or whether or not a stree... |

But in the context of this website...I dunno, if the goal here is to reassure ourselves that we aren't a bunch of detached maniacs, perhaps we should circulate a different image of our leader...maybe something with a... |

| Your analogy is flawed: A major part of the body missing is not equivalent to an internal organ having an atypical mode of operation. I'm not quite sure how to respond to this for a few reasons. First, "major body part" and "internal organ" aren't mutually exclusive, rather, they coincide quite fre... |

| So how come that in reality autism spectrum conditions are seen as a disorder or defect? My opinion: Because NT is the norm standard and Aspies therefore the "outcasts". But it's not just some coincidence. As I have said before on this forum, the norm is what it is for a reason. I think this is pre... |
