    Is it normal for people with high functioning autism not to be very smart?

    Same where I live. I mentioned it to a couple people at work, They looked at me completely baffled. Asked what is it? *sigh* I am working. I do what they ask of me to the best of my ability but it always seem they want more. I deal with being around people all day, with not being home, getting...

    I Hate Summer

    I live in Arkansas. Summer here is suffocating. It is very very humid, and I HATE it. I would love to live where its rarely hot or mildly hot in summer. I have to work so I need to go out in it, but If I didnt have to work, I would never leave an air conditioned room until october xD

    Overly emotional response to someone snapping at you

    And here goes nothin.. Hello?

    Hello, I'm 43 and have been reading about aspergers for about a month. But I have since become obsessed. I am not sure if I will ever be able to find out if I truly am an aspie but I do think I am. Not only that, I think my mom and dad were also aspies. Possibly my aunt too but I haven't talked...
