| I just turned 26 and I've had several attempts to pursue relationships but they never were interested in me. I've been on at date or two, but I didn't realize they were dates at the time, with the girl saying "that was the most romantic/intimate" date I've had, and didn't know what to do. We're stil... |

| I can never work out what I am supposed to do with the supervisor. I am not a social person (surprise, surprise) so I have no reason to go to my supervisor unless there is a set appointment. I got stuck writing the first page of the thesis - endless repetitions of the first page. I don't think I kn... |

| I just completed a 50,000 word thesis for my Masters degree in international relations. It was EXTREMELY painful to write and took me much longer than it should have. I was pretty good at the research aspect of it, but the hard part was organising the information and writing it coherently. I later ... |

| Does long exposure social interactions give you headaches? Let me know you opinions and why. Depends really. Sometimes when I'm talking a lot, after a period of not talking a bunch, about something I'm really into I can have a tendency to feel very fatigued from verbalizing. I've had anything from ... |

My close friend got really into meditating routinely and always tried to get me into it. I've done it but thought it was silly. I meditate ALL the time, at the worst of times, my personal zone box.  Meditating while driving is not okay! |

| I think one of the arguments (certainly, my psychiatrist said this) for more research into Autistic children than adults is, apparently, adults should have adapted by now. What a profoundly ignorant statement. I agree. So ... once I have my NT persona in place and can pretend to be someone else 24/... |

| Hmmm, cleanliness, next to godliness. I suppose I'm both extreme, really. I'll just echo what I heard above and say I'm both 'militantly' clean and oblivious to things that need cleaning. Sometimes I will get in a compulsive mood where once I start cleaning I won't stop cleaning until I've cleaned e... |

| My VIQ was in the superior range and my PIQ landed in the average range. I scored Superior on the Block Design test. Anything that is timed I do poorly on in the spatial-visual because I have low working memory and very fast processing speed like OldDuckNash99 above me. My PIQ was originally listed ... |

| If self regulation is a neurological trait and people with Aspergers don't have good self control, then that means that that's the answer to the reason behind hyperfocusing. It would mean that people with Aspergers operate on the neo side of the spectrum. Great insight. [youtube]http://www.youtube.... |

Wouldn't it be cool if we had a clan/guild for various multiplayer games out there? So people from WrongPlanet ... |

The only reason NVLD exists as a label is to describe individuals such as myself who have a P... |
