| I'm sorry I came across as being mean. I was just trying to be helpful. I just feel for Lancebergy because I was just like him. There was one day, long ago, when I thought I definitely had Asperger's. A doctor who has a daughter with Asperger's agreed with it, because she thought I was behaving just... |

| Hey Lance, After reading your post I realized that you probably do NOT have Asperger's. Let me get this straight: you FELT disconnected from the world? And it seems like you really want other people to understand you because you feel lonely and seek to be with other people who can feel for you. You ... |

| In the Soviet Union everybody was supposed to think that Communism is great and wonderful and those who disagreed were "mentally ill" and had to be cured. They were placed in mental institutions. Similarly, in the Nazi Germany it would be "normal"to go to the fuhrer's speeches and scream "Heil Hitle... |

| One question you should answer is - do you want to interact with other people but just don't know how or do you want to voluntarily isolate yourself from all human interactions? Would you be completely comfortable as a lighthouse keeper with no radio, TV or Internet access? If not, you are probably ... |

| I think it would be good for you to get a nice musical ringtone, something you like. also, some phones have an option to "vibrate then ring", which would set you up for anticipation of the ring. Mine vibrates twice, then sings "Celebrate good times, come on". It's pretty good, actually. Since we're ... |

| Speaking of "Usual Suspects", I didn't quite get what was happening through most of it, but the ending is really what makes it. I love movies with twist endings, which is why I liked watching most of M. Night Shyamalan movies. "Magnolia", however, was one movie that I truly hated because I expected ... |

| I wonder if any of you watched that movie? Did you feel like you just "don't get it"? I attempted to watch for the first 20 minutes then gave up. It seems like they talk in gibberish. Apparently it's supposed to have some indirect subtle meaning. |

| Happens to me all the time. I also cannot take notes (unless I mindlessly write down everything being said) or highlight. Supposedly you need to highlight or wright down the "main points" but I have difficulty knowing what they are. |

| Actually, what happened on 9/11 affects me to this day. I still have nightmares involving planes crashing into skyscrapers. I also hate the people who say America deserved it. My whole world view has changed after that day. |

| You probably don't have it. Your more in the normal NT range. I was wondering how you know that also? Many, many people (especially those who work in science and art related fields) have traits like social akwardness, feel isolated due to our preoccupation with specialized work, and have some OCD t... |
