| Does anybody else constantly make other people very mad without intending to do so? This happens very often to me - not only in real life, but online as well - I keep getting banned and blacklisted, without knowing what I did wrong. |

| Have you ever tried a different kind of note-taking, such as mind mapping? I find I can mind map much faster than I can take notes. I may miss some details, but I can follow the main gist of the information and then I can fill in holes with my reading. Yes. It doesn't work for me if the notes are p... |

| Also, these days people bring in devices to record the lectures on - can you do that then listen to them at the speed you need later on? I would have loved to do this, but at the very first lecture my lecturers made it clear that the university did NOT allow this. :( I'm not sure why, but they were... |

| And not to mention, I usually have no idea which topics had been touched; so I usually have no idea what to study. Adding to what others have said... If you sign up for your college disabled students program you can record your lectures then listen to it later in a quiet place. You should insist th... |

| I like peace activism and politics. Sometimes at public speeches I'll take messy notes, mainly just for the purpose of staying alert. But if I look at them within the next day, it kind of refreshes my memory. So, what if, in zen like fashion, you allow your notes to remain messy and incomplete, tha... |

| Okay, one thing, since you can understand from text just fine, play to strength. Pre-study. Try to stay, say, 10 pages ahead of the professor in the book. Even if you're behind in a class, go ahead and jump ahead. Hopefully, you will then often be like a seasoned baseball manager. Even though each ... |

| I can't take notes during lectures at all. I have no idea what I'm supposed to write down, and when I'm trying to write something down I can only write the first ~1-2 words of every sentence, and that's for like 1 out of 5 sentences said. Also, I usually can't connect the information which is given ... |

| #3 Mumble something when someone you don't like is staring at you. Or seems to be talking about you. Not with a smile. I even mumbled "f**ck you" when a woman I disliked was staring at me like I didn't belong in that area. She stopped bothering me. But does looking at someone denote aggression to t... |

| Was I misdiagnosed with Asperger's? When I was a child, I played with a group of neighborhood children. However, when it came to protracted socializing and no playing (such as that in school environments, etc), I failed to socialize and usually had no friends for long periods of time. And even thoug... |

| Hi, I were at the university clinic the day before yesterday where my AS diagnosis was being re-evaluated. They said I dont have Asperger's, which, is kind of sad because my life till now would only make sense if i had it. Their argument was that it's not possible that someone starts showing AS in ... |

| As the title says, please give me an example of a typical romantic relationship. I'm looking for it to have the main phases: 1) Pre-relationship 2) Going out 3) Considering each other a couple etc. I also have no idea as to how romantic relationships work, how they're initiated, what role "flirting"... |

| And I'm aware that the rules of dating are usually not well-defined. However, I'm sure it's possible to synthesize at least something that resembles an approximation. |

| I could never manage to get one to accept my advance, e.g asking them out on a date. They would either say yes and then cancel 30min before actual meeting. Or just show me their ring finger, their fiancée is waiting outside or have a boyfriend or just laugh in my face. The only 2 relationships I ha... |
