| I think that is the line right there. Sometimes people who forget things say that they are having a Senior moment, somehow refering to Alzheimer's or they will say that they are having a blonde moment or something to that affect. But your right make fun of the trait and not the people. Sometimes som... |

| Gosh this is hard for me to say because in my day we had this thing called an "Atari 2600" it was like the forrunner to all video games. We were taught that the video game was a priviledge and not a right. I was only allowed to play the video game if my grades in school were good. Most of the time t... |

| My old man used to tell me the highway to hell is paved with people who had good intentions. How do you know where that fine line is where it borders from joke to insult? How do yu know if a person with Asperger's might find it to be humorous or insulting? You don't. It's crap like this that causes ... |

| I'm with you I think that too! The APA needs to stop trying to play GOD because they are not. But I've been saying that alot of it has been a bunch of crap from the start going back to my diagnosis of being schizotypal in 1987 under the DSM-III Version. BTW, who the heck gave them the authority for ... |

I do and it's crap. They totally contradict themselves. They all want me to get a better job but without college in the Washington DC market it's virtually impossible. |

Word has it that the APA/DSM book is going to do away with "Schizoaffective" But yes your symptoms as you describe them sound like they do belong to the Schizotypal and not the Asperger's Syndrome.. If you formally haven't been told that you are... |
