| As an Asperger, I'm totally mystified by social typicals who complain about their Asperger "partners". How did you get so far into a relationship with a person who annoys you, or even drives you to despair? Did you just ignore their "awfulness" or did you think you could change t... |

| I write a blog ( http://aspergerhuman.wordpress.com ) and have applied the category "wild Humans" to Asperger people. This is in line with my hypothesis that the Asperger brain is most similar to pre-domesticated (juvenalized; neotenous) modern social humans, who have been selected for tam... |

| I think the first question is, Is what you are doing with your son successful? Doesn't sound like it if he still screams at you; the "punishment" you've set (a day without computer) does not stop the behavior. (I'm Asperger) and punishment never meant anything to me as a child. The mistake... |

| Well - you are in a bad position, one in which you "can't win." Honestly, as an Aspie who never got along with my mother (it's not you or her, it's an accident of nature) I understand the dilemma: she's the only mother you'll ever have, but if personalities clash, they clash. I don't think... |

| Psychology is the no. 1 most popular degree because it's the easiest. There are few "laws" about what qualifies people to go into practice as counselors, therapists, etc. so you can set up an office and advertise for clients right out of school. It's kind of sleazy, but you can make money ... |

| Psychology is not a field of SCIENCE or a Medical discipline. It's closer to being a religion, with high priests who dictate what a human being should be - they dictate behavior that is narrow, restrictive, and which leaves out MOST human beings. Their "tests" are rigged for the outcome they want; m... |
