| I think it effects all of us in different ways, but the pool of traits is more or less the same. Therapy can help, I know I seriously need some. Some effects may manifest themselves later. |

| My parents both drank themselves to death. It took my father much longer than my mother. I have a serious problem of being wired to desperately crave approval on one hand and yet I am awkward and eccentric on the other hand. I perceive/project disapproval of myself onto almost everyone. My aspergers... |

| Play PS1, PS2, N64, and other old systems. Love them as much as new games. Actually I plan to not buy any more systems after this gen. |

| I'm in a very mentally and spiritually fulfilling relationship, but at times I think we could benefit from an open relationship since our sex life waxes and wanes. However its really hard to take on an open relationship because of jealousy, also if your an aspie or just a weirdo and you find someone... |

| I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time. Life is a bastard, but its also beautiful at the same time. If you have run out of medicine for your bipolar condition you should probably see a doctor right away. Quitting medicines for mood disorders abruptly can be dangerous. It will be hard being i... |

| Somebody told me I stink today, don't know if they were joking, so I told them that I'd be happy to rub my scent all over their backpack. That kind of worked. Maybe if you can learn to rise above it and not care. Sometimes people tease and don't actually mean harm and people with Aspergers have a ha... |

| I would like to not give a s**t if somebody thinks I'm stupid or weird and not obsess about revenge, which I do from time to time. I've got no use for superficial people. I'd like to be peaceful in my actions or vent anger in a socially constructive way, and ironically rising above may actually be t... |

| Some of it you could be projecting onto other people, on the other hand people can be very judgmental. I would say try not to worry about what people think so much about you. Try to cultivate self confidence and overcompensate when necessary. |

| I'm a male and have a lot of male tendencies including attraction to women, but definitely dislike males to a great extent especially when they use terms like "fag." I don't glorify women but definitely find them to be the better of the two sexes. |

| I was thinking you were talking about a wall calender, which would be hilarious. Someone should make a wall calendar (or better still, one of those desktop ones) with pictures of autistic people (with a bias toward people who look like Heather Kuzmich-- say, make them at least half of the pictures)... |
