Tres kewel, alex. Bet somebody's gonna be popular on campus. ;)

Maybe you'll get interviewed by the campus newspaper, too.

I am curious though.

Was anyone else interviewed or was it just you alex?

And if you are allowed to answer:

And will she be writing any more articles about aspies?
Or about WP?

Overall I thought it was a fairly good article. At least it is really good publicity.

A tad short though IMVHO.

I agree. No curebie crap, no talking about "disease" or "defects" - I just wish the article could have gone on longer.

Congrats Alex; I agree that this site is awesome. It's been an awesome resource for me because I could see that there are other aspies with the same problems as me. I've been very comfortable here because most of the people on WrongPlanet are nice and share some common interests as me that most people in my world (who are mainly NT's) don't care about.

Twice now.

yesterday and today i tried clicking on the link to read the article.

As it starts up an ad window appears. when i go to task manager it says the article lonk is not responding while the ad window is.
so i select end task for the ad and it takes me off-line completely.

This is on my dial up. maybe i'll go inside and try my dsl.

maybe i should just network my computers and share the dsl.

Don't let any of Your success give You to a big of a Head in the end. Remember this the World can be Cruel and throw You about. It is better to be Honest with Yourself and Others too. You may look very handsome in You avatar it is a good picture and You look like success and up and coming too in the end. Remember this all can yet change in the end too.

I thought You ought to know this, I hope You remember it too in the end.
