| There is an AI mod by a guy named Sorian that sorts a lot of the slowdown issues, you can find it on the Gaspowered forums (I'm on my phone otherwise I'd link it). Multiplayer is pretty fast paced, turtling is looked down on by “serious” players, but having said that the various Thermopylae maps are... |

| Does anyone here play SCFA? It has nowhere near as many players as something like StarCraft but it's a far superior game in my opinion. Real-time strategy games evolved in the mid to late nineties and then Total Annihilation came out - it had every refinement of every previous game and a massive loa... |

| What YellowBanana said. I did pretty much that and after a false start I got seen by a psychologist last week, and tomorrow I find out if I officially have AS. It would probably be helpful to write down the key points of what you want to say. I'm terrible for thinking I've forgotten something or act... |

| Cool, well the reason I ask is that Chuck Palahniuk is reportedly a big fan and wrote the Fight Club novel listening to The Downward Spiral on a loop. The weird thing is that I didn't know this when I first saw the film and I came out of the cinema thinking that it was like a NIN album made into a f... |

| I always say As- per- gers syndrome. I stress the second syllable. Like this. I was told this was correct by the first Aspie that I knowingly met. I have a compulsion for my facts to be correct (which I imagine is familiar to a lot of people here), so that's how I pronounce it even though the commo... |

I share pretty much all of your interests, although my camping is limited to festivals, my video games are limited to RTS games and my philosophy and theoretical physics is entirely layman. I recognise a lot of what you're saying. In fact I've been considering volunteering as a... |

| I used to be very prone to getting extremely angry. I used to have outbursts, but probably none since I was a teenager except for a few occasions when I've been drunk. Not sure how it is for others, but with me I think I find it hard to judge how annoyed I should be by something. So if a housemate d... |

| You sound very similar to me. I've been accused of arrogance more times than I care to think of, also immaturity and lack of empathy. One teacher said I was a sociopath, another said I was a free spirit. I liked the second one more. :D I'm due to get a diagnosis on Friday so we'll see what they say.... |

| There's a guy I know who told us he had AS, I was the first to tell him he must be mistaken, even when he pulled out a little card confirming it. The more I thought about it the more I realised how like him I was, in fact if I didn't know him I'd probably say I'm not "bad" enough to be AS. But he fu... |

| Hi everyone, I'm a 32-year-old male and due to get the results of my official AQ test on Friday. There are AS traits that I don't have, for instance I don't have any tics. I've always found it difficult in some hard-to-define way to interact with others though, and when I read about the experiences ... |
