uh...start by saying you want to talk, then bring up that she considers some things you've done creepy, then ask if she's heard of AS, if not ask if she's heard of autism, then start explaining what it is all about?

Not sure if it is any help, most I've come up with at this point. Not the best at giving advice of any sort right now, it's past 2 AM, I'm wide awake, and my mind is all over the place. And I really need to sleep so I'm rested for the test I have tomorrow, but that's unlikely.

Here's how I did it:

:arrow: Entered 'The NT's Guides to Aspergers' as search item
:arrow: Listed author as KBABZ
:arrow: Searched only in General Autism Discussion
:arrow: Searched only in the last 6 months

For magic wands, go ask RedMage!

Dunno! I don't think it was intended for teenage consumption! One idea is this:

:arrow: Step 1: Print it out and attach a little note saying 'READ THIS' onto it. Don't use your handwriting so that it'll remain inconspicuous.
:arrow: Step 2: Plant the bomb-I mean papers inside something she'll take home and open, like a handbag. Do it when she's not looking of course.
:arrow: Step 3: When she asks around about who did it, play dumb and say no. If she takes it further and says that it sounds like it might be you, because it describes you (or something along those lines), admit it, but ONLY when you know that she's finished reading it.
:arrow: Step 4: Watch her reaction.
:arrow: Step 5: Press the button and blow up the bomb you planted earlier. Okay, just kidding!

Maybe you should add that not everyone will have all the symptoms...

Uh... I dunno! Blow up the bomb? It should just flow from the reaction and whatnot. If you haven't tried telling her before and she doesn't believe you, don't bother going any further with it. Same applies if you have told her about it, actually.

I don't have any stupid NT friends. I always seem to wind up with the best ones.

I can't help you on this.

but if I were you, get into a psychology class, explain about A.S.

trust me.

that's waht I did first semester. it works. oddly enough.

most people except those who I spend a lot of time with (I.E. sister floor) sorta know. mainly because the girl I dated on campus for about a month was A.S. and also 27. but we won't go there.
