| Please don't force members to give out personal details or information! I respect the desire to help those in crisis, but I don't think this is exactly the way to do it. Like many Aspies perhaps, I suffer from a great sense of isolation. I do not know of anyone who I could suggest as an alternative ... |

| Prometheus, I think that the aura you describe is not uncommon with people who suffer from classic migraine attacks, but perhaps you are unusual and lucky in finding it pleasurable! (although I guess the headache itself is no fun). Me, from about age 8 for approx. 30 years I suffered from classical ... |

| I did mensa tests that put me in the 99th percentile - not sure what that translates to in IQ points. Well, I used to be a member of Mensa (I let my membership lapse some years ago, there did not seem a lot of point to it and there seemed to be very few other members in the area where I lived) I to... |

| I'd take it all with the proverbial pinch of salt. OK. there might be a gene (or combination of genes) that predisposes towards AS, but that does not mean that everyone with AS necessarily has those genes. AS isnt a simple medical condition or illness; it is a complex mix of mental, emotional and ph... |

| Well, since I posted my last message it seems the doctors in their wisdom have now decided to give Piano Man his own piano, and also are cosidering using music and art therapy to try to communicate with him. From the BBC World News site :- "The so-called "Piano Man" has had an upright piano nstalled... |

| I've been following this story since I first spotted it in the newspaper several days ago. Since then his story has appeared on both national and local TV news bulletins here in the UK, but despite all appeals, they still havent identified him. It would seem he isn't Steven Villa Masson after all: a... |

| I wonder where the idea comes from that classical music is only (or mainly) enjoyed by adults? I am maybe older than many of the people on this site and yes, I love classical music; but I also loved it when I was a kid, and I know many adults who do not particularly enjoy it. And remember there are ... |
