Are you a transgender? Sorry if this is offensive and you're not, you really seem like one.

[TheAnMish]

@elidrissii I'm not. I'm a woman and I've only ever been a woman.

Why do I "seem like" a transgender? 'Cause I don't speak in a little girly voice?

[mezmaries]

I think I may have it. Heres my email, can you tell me what the symptoms of aspergers is? Im curious.  I think my mom might have it too..... mariaandreacarrion@gmail.com

Please please please email me?

[TheAnMish]

@mezmaries I don't email anyone. And this is something you can easily research.

If you want to learn a bit more than just the average symptoms though, I'd suggest reading The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome by Tony Attwood.

This is no attack against your argument, but I have seen and read that neurotypicals pretend to like each other even if they do not like each other, so it is possible that if some random neurotypicals are placed in a room, they will falsify liking each other even though they execrate each other. What the hell is wrong with them?

@akapbhan I believe you hate me alot... I do not understand what the subtext implies... I do feel like an alien in many ways and I cannot relate to people socially. My biggest problem is that I am 40 and will always stay alone and that makes me very depressed. I am telling the truth as wired as I may sound.

[Davebg2]

its the opposite, people with aspergers like people that are very social. I know this from personal experience..

qontinued: I can also, in some cases be overstimulated too many people around me, which can be tiresome at times. I may also a need timeout and a little time to myself at times to "sort" things. I do not go out on the town, i dont like that.I've always been a loner in the sense that I have few friends who come to visit and call me. No, I am asked out as much either.I do care a lot for my friends, perhaps more than normal people. I do have a lot of different interests like fishing,hamradio++

[357supermagnum]

I agree with you that not all persons with AS is the same. I may be perceived as someone who does not smile very much, because when you always have felt a little out of place,it is easy to feel a little depressed. It is easy too get that way when someone never has been so very good at read non verbal communication. Of course that has improved a lot over the years, and social mistakes does not happens very often any more. Big mistakes can of course happen.

I decided to watch this video because I think I might have the Aspie Syndrome, and all I want to know now is AnMish single?

[AlfredoYong]

@TheAnMish Heeeeeeeeeeeeey. Yes of course is that. Look. Is true that im as irritant to other asps as to NT, but the fact that some of them do not think im joking when talking about some things -that is quite refreshing

[akapbhan]

@stephanzeitschel2007 wow i don't think you are an aspie who has a PhD in artificial intelligence. You are like an artificially created aspie creep. very attractive human being seriously??? Try to talk like an aspie not like one of the 80's alien invation movie's alien.

[akapbhan]

@AirsoftSteveCope If you get along with 90% of any people you are not an aspie you are an NT. I communicate with others on a need to know,want,wanted or needed basis. Having less brain for communication is a good thing use it. Don't try to pretend like an NT

[3lumina29]

I am Aspie and quite frankly I haven't met another I get along with in my lifetime. The logic is we should be able to understand one another better but the reality is our quirks irritate the hell out of each other.
