| I hate talking on the phone, always have. I end up a lot with that awkward silence, not knowing what to say and wishing I could just end the call but not knowing if that would be rude or not. Hate phones! |

| Anyone who wants to have Asperger's Syndrome doesn't have it. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I've learned to accept it and work around it somewhat, but some people apparently have a harder time in doing that. What do YOU see as so bad? Frankly, looking at the diagnosis for AS, it almost look... |

Same here, more or less. I've had close friends in the past, and there are people I'm not interested in being friendly with and I'm sure they know it somehow. |

| I don't have any friends. no one likes me. LOL! When I finally figured it that it didn't matter whether people liked me or not, and that it didn't matter why or why not, it took a lot of stress off me. I don't have to strain myself to try to be liked and ending up making a horse's behind out of mys... |

| I was in the Air Force for 4 years, I found the Air Force to be a perfect place for someone with Asperger's Syndrome. YMMV. There are a lot more careers in the military than ones involving combat, and the Air Force is a fairly safe place to be anyway. You just have to pick the right job and get it g... |
