    How old?

    I was diagnosed last year. I was 40. A friend of mine was told by a psychologist that he had Asperger syndome. He thought I displayed symptoms similar to his. This was 3–4 years ago. I then began looking into Asperger syndrome and autism in general. I did recognise a lot of the symtoms and...

    Hans Asperger aided and supported Nazi programme, study says

    There's a lot of ruckus in the Twitterverse over this. A lot of people have been changing handles containing "aspie" to something else. Typically exchanging it with "autie" or "autistic".

    I might need a new phone soon. Can anyone recommend a good Android?

    Hi Rich, I had three iPhones in a row and liked them, but "ideologically" I really wanted to go Android (I'm also a Linux guy). I now have a fairly cheap smartphone (Honor 8 Lite, made by Huawei) but I was very impressed with how well it performs. Much better than the price suggests. Might be...

    Do you like lists?

    I like lists too. I use them for remembering stuff (to-do lists and grocery lists) but my favourite use is when trying to decide between various options, in other words pros/cons lists.

    YouTube channels?

    I would like to find some more interesting Aspie channels too.

    Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator and Autism

    INTP here. Whenever I've seen a poll in an Aspie/Autism group there has been a clear majority of INTJ/INTPs.
