It's not a brain disorder, but it is a neurological difference. I don't give a crap about the DSM. It's helpful to know why you are different. That's all. you cannot assume you know someone from a public performance. if you read Aspergirls, you'd understand some of the challenges I had, from seizures to mutism in addition to great talents. Knowledge is not your enemy.

Who is the rude Jerkoff talking in the background!?!? I can't focus on the speaker because of all the background noise!!!!! Grrrrr!!!! Love the talk, but as an aspie, it's PAINFUL to watch because of the background noise, camera dancing, and glare on the screen. I would LOVE for you to please post the power point directly and do a good voiceover.

It does quiet down considerably after a couple minutes,and in parts 2 and 3. those were people coming in late because they couldn't find the room. It was a huge conference. the next time they had me back, they made me keynote. I've other talks online that are a bit clearer. At some point, i'll have a pro recording.

@Rudytutti I was into Ancient Egyptology or the missing gaps in history like where the sphinx came from and stuff. I also had a thing for rocks.

How can you have a brain disorder when you are so obviously talented? It is plane to me that if someone is not very sociable then they are not very sociable. That the DSM book is brainwashing people. There is really no need to pathologize everything. It is very socialogicaly divisive to promote aspie awareness. I have been happy to live inside my bubble all these years and now suddenly people point their finger at me and call me an aspie. Imagine that! We need more tolerence for diversity.
