Thanks so much for posting that! Lots of new and interesting comments in there. A lot of times you get the same rehash of information because people are explaining AS as if people haven't heard of it every time so it's hard to weed through articles from her.

It is so funny that she couldn't do algebra and how she says aspies can't do algebra because I was undiagnosed my whole life and when I was a kid I wanted to be a scientist but because I couldn't do algebra I totally gave up on my dream and I had no direction in life. If I had known then what people are learning now my life could have gone completely different.

The weird thing is that I still studied science in my own way just out of curiosity, and on my own, and I feel I have made discoveries no one else has made... but now no one will even hear me out about it all because I'm not in the system. Life is very strange.
