Same here, only talk about it with someone who you are sure about wants to listen (he/she might have the same interest). In any other case don't start unless you are asked a question. My experience is that people who know me simply don't ask because they know i'll talk too long about it  |

| I'm very much an atheist. I can't understand why people believe in something they don't even know exists. I mean come on, how do you know god exists, and even if he exists why would you devote your life to him/her. Even so, the bible was written over 2000 years ago, how on earth can you believe anyt... |

| I did this test in less than 20 seconds, just don't look at the word and focus on one letter of each word. I don't think this is very representative because the list of right-side brain functions doesn't fit my personality at all. |

| I can so relate to your problem it's almost scary. I got my dx two weeks ago, and i still can't believe how it's possible that I've lived for 23 years without knowing! This makes it all so incredibly surreal, that my brain just refuses to believe it. Even though i think there's absolutely nothing wr... |

Don't know who he is, but the picture does nothing to me at all. I voted #1.
Maybe you could explain what the meaning of this is? |

Most definitely, i can spend hours trying to come up with different responses people might have. And afterwards i evaluate (in my head) to learn what went wrong and what went right  |

I have two cats. Seems to me theyre the only ones that can truly calm me after an exhausting social day.
I believe cats are made for aspies and vice-versa! And i find it fascinating that so many aspies like cats.
Tony Attwood even mentions it in his book. (The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome) |

I normally don't walk on my toes, however, i generally use the outer sides of my feet when i stand still. Like Knasher..
So instead of standing on my entire foot, i stand on the outer side. Wonder if we're the only ones?
_ _ <-- normal
/ \ <-- me |
