| I tried really hard. I remember begging my parents for a cabbage patch kid for Christmas because all the girls in my first grade class had them. When I unwrapped the thing, I thanked my parents happily and then stood there staring at its ugly plastic head, and wondering what on earth I was supposed ... |

The classes where I'm actually paying attention. Subject doesn't matter much.
Except gym. Apparently avoiding the ball is something you're only supposed to do in dodgeball. Oh well, those days are over. |

The places I've gone to school, campus Christian groups have taken a more sca... |

| I've been told by a couple of guys I dated that that's what was attractive about me at first - being soft-spoken and wholesome-looking compared with other women. It may not be every guy's cup of tea, but some apparently appreciate these traits. Then it's a toss-up whether they want you to be that wa... |

I think that some people with AS might do some things which are missunderstood as sexual harrassment, I think ... |

Why's it a problem? Blood isn't exactly hard to come by. It's not like acquiring a taste for endangered rainforest frogs.
(And I'm being serious. Really. I may not have aspergers, but I find blood appealing, and really don't see why this is a problem.) |

| Whenever my older sister appears in my dreams, I dream about getting into physical fights with her, sometimes to the point of killing her. Well, better in dreams than real life. You can wake up before you get in trouble for it. I actually like my brother, but one time I had a dream that I'd killed ... |

| It's ridiculous to vaccinate against something you can only get through sexual activity. I'm not sure why that makes it ridiculous. I try to think about this in abstract terms when it comes to my own child, but sexual activity happens. Even if you were to watch your teenager like a hawk 24/7 and no... |

It's much more common for me to have dreams in which strange things are happening, but I am still act... |
