    What is the possibility of somebody with ASD to get a job as a pilot?

    The same can be said of automobiles and most definitely motorcycles. It can be said of bungee jumping and sky diving.

    Tired of getting ripped apart verbally

    There is one asperger YouTuber that stated that one of the characteristics is feeling the need be understood and spending an inordinate amount of time perfecting posts. I see that in myself. I also take that to mean that a NT has that to a lesser degree. To take that one step further, I...

    What is the possibility of somebody with ASD to get a job as a pilot?

    I imagine being an airline pilot as being the leader of a military mission. I also imagine that you have to overnight in different locations. I would expect that you have to be able to endure whatever you would conceivably ask others to endure. If there is in fact no aspect of leadership under...

    How can I stop obsessing about my singlehood?

    It stands to reason that if our social difficulties stem from anxiety and overthinking in unnatural ways, a good way to overthink it would be to take a tantric approach to relationships. Basically, trying not to be concerned with the end result and enjoying the process. I use it in some...

    Do you think in pictures?

An interesting side effect for some people is that they are less likely to suffer from PTSD. Another thing that is interesting to...

    Do you believe in IQ?

    My IQ has been somewhat of a conundrum to me. In school, I was never the first person to finish a test but if allowed enough time to myself I can remember an answer. It is part of the reason I think I could be on the spectrum. I can't do things like keep track of the score of a ballgame or play...

    People think I am selfish.

    Just out of curiousity, are you necessarily looking for a relationship or would you be satisfied with just a temporary sexual outlet? Sexual desire can be considered selfish but I don't think you really have to care what people say about that other than keeping your mouth quiet at times. You...

    Question to help better understand my son

    I don't imagine it could be something as simple as him having morning wood. I apologize if that is crude but I don't see that it is not out of the realm of possibility in some age groups or situations.

    Aspergers think logically?

    In regards to the religion that I am familiar with, I have come to a couple of conclusions. One is that I don't quite understand choosing to believe something. For me my beliefs seem to arise from facts that present themselves. They are not exactly chosen. Maybe that is one of the instances of...

    Aspergers think logically?

    Perhaps it is not logic but a failure to take things at face value. Supposedly neurotypical people want to bond and think alike more. Less connections with people would lead to taking alternative paths intellectually. There is also the concept of being a divergent versus a convergent thinker...
