| Oh man, somehow I screwed up the date. I put the 19th, it is really the 21st. I've corrected it above. |

| I didn't see a better place to post this. If you are located in the Pikes Peak area and on the spectrum, feel free to come to an adult social group! This is sponsored by the Autism Society of America, Pikes Peak Region. Note that this is not a "social skills" or a "support" group. This is simply a n... |

| I won't say I'm not interested, but I am definitely not the stereotype person on the spectrum that is a Math genius. My math skills are far from flawless, and my talents defintely are more verbal in nature. That said, I use math more than a lot of people in my line of work, which is training loan of... |

| I'm not sure if everyone is using the same definition of empathy here. It seems about 85% of the population identifies empathy as being able to feel bad because somebody else feels bad. However, it is much broader than that. Empathy is the ability to rcognize feelings and motivations of others throu... |

ret*d doesn't really bother me, but when I was growing up, it was still a pretty accepted term.
Related words I do get bothered by. For example, I asked a co-worker to please stop referring to people as "RE-RE". I can't really say why I wasn't bothered by ret*d, but "Re-Re" I really didn't like. |

| melatonin has been great for me- I credit it for giving me my life back in allowing me to reliably get sleep. One thing- you must take it about 1/2 hour before bed. Don't try taking it if you don't have 8 hours to sleep, because you will wake up worse off, feeling unbelievably tired. Narcotics (nota... |

It causes its sufferers to lack that certain Natural Domination which humans, by right, have over their environments and nature. In fact, it rende... |

| I don't see the need for an Aspie dating site. Most dating sites are hoaxes! Please notice that there are barely any Aspie women who have signed up yet. They don't because they either don't want boyfriends or they have no problems getting an nt boyfriend out there in the real world. Yes, I'm also a... |
