    Fictional Characters whom you think have Asperger/autism

    I don't think Sheldon Cooper is gay. He is of course a caricature aspie. And yeah, commander Data (my ideal husband:p) could indeed be considered an aspie if he wasn't and android. I also think Pippi Longstocking has Asperger's. She is my childhood hero!

    what was your pre-ASD diagnosis?

    In the seventies, when I was seven years old, I was also taken to a child psychologist. According to my mother the psychologist told my parent that I was eccentric, and a 'einzelganger' and that they could try to cautiously let me socialize a bit more, but they shouldn't push it. My mother says...

    What are your sensory issues?

    I think some song lyrics are just unclear anyway. Like this: Napalm Death - You Suffer (with lyrics !!!) - YouTube :D For me, the t.v. is annoying because I can't really enjoy programmes unless they have subtitles.

    What are your sensory issues?

    Hehe, my 15 year old son also thinks whispering is horrid. I wonder if anyone here has trouble with hearing. My hearing is fine - I had it tested- but I cannot understand what people say if there are more people talking, or if there is background music and such, and I find it very hard to...

    Re: Is being bad with finaces or money an ASD trait or not? Thank you for your response, Soup. When I decided to let the administrator do my finances I was actually suffering from a bad depression. Financially I wasn't really in big trouble though; I have a rule to not even possess a credit...

    What are your sensory issues?

    I don't know if a dislike of people whispering into your ear is necessarily an aspie-trait. Whisperers often talk so quietly that there is no way you can tell what they are saying, or so loudly that everyone around you can still hear it, in which case the 'whispering' is pointless. Added to...

    Is this a "me" thing, or an ASD thing?

    Re: Is being bad with finaces or money an ASD trait or not? I am useless with managing my finances. I don't overspend much, but I always mess up the bills and other forms. This leads to me not paying bills, and then I get fined for late payment, and the fines get bigger etc. When I lived alone...

    Hello. I am a 43 year old woman living in the U.K. I am currently on a waiting list to be assessed for Asperger's syndrome after having filled in a few screening questionnaires. So I don't know if I will get that diagnosis.
