    Dyslexia

    I've always wrote words in the wrong order and I'm prone to substituting incorrect words.

    ASD and psychotic disorders?

    My old pysch originally gave me a dual diagnosis of disorganised schizophrenia and autism, because he felt my lack of motivation couldn't be explained by autism alone. Although when he asked a schizophrenia specialists to assess me, they pretty much said he was wrong and my diagnosis was...

    Do you know any famous people who had or have autism?

    Not everyone with autism lack motor skills, hence the reason it never made it into the official criteria. I doubt he's overcoming some huge motor skill adversity to do what he does.

    Aspergers and Lack of Morals?

    Completely lacking empathy or a conscience myself, I can give some insight perhaps, but I don't relate to your daughters behaviours much. I've never learnt my morals verbally and I've never learnt anything by the facial expressions my parents make when I do something they deem to be "bad". I've...

    fear

    I'm quite literally not scared of anything... except ladybugs. So I guess that's what fear is to me. A nasty horrible lady-bug in attack position. Leaning forward slightly like an apache helicopter :wtf:

    Thinking that you are the only one?

    Tigris, you seem to misunderstand what Sarcasm is. It isn't lying, and it's not even akin to lying.

    When was the last time you had social contact?

    I've not seen any friends in 6 months.

    Languages!

    I learnt French and German in school and I could hold simplish conversations, especially when I went on holiday. Although I've forgotten practically all of it! Languages sure do decay when you have noone to speak to.

    Office politics

    You shouldn't seek to. Don't play their game, you'll always lose at it.

    Gen Ed

    Supposedly it's so you have a wide-range of skill and are more capable to enter the world of work. I think that's a crap personally. I would have much preferred to just study science at seconday school. I spent most of my free time reading about quarks and what-not. School just felt like a huge...

    Jobs

    Probably just to have some land of my own in the norweigan fjords and grow my own food. Alternatively, I could have my own observatory.

    Work fatigue

    I never tend to feel fatiqued while working. Only extremely bored.

    IQ and success

    IQ only relates to how well you solve problems. Motivation (irrespective of IQ level) would have a much better correlation for sucess. Most people with a high IQ level are actually under-utilising their skill. In general, the higher your IQ, the less motivation you have.

    Being called weird by people also considered to be weird

    I call my wife weird all the time and she likewise calls me weird. I've never seen it as an insult really. There's no point my arguing otherwise, I really am weird. Anyone using it towards me as an insult tends to just make me feel better myself. Just one extra person who I am better than in life.

    Thinking that you are the only one?

    My wife and I have both met other aspies in real life at Autscape, which is a conference type event that takes place in England once per year. Neither of us ever felt that eureka moment you seem to be describing. Infact, I felt quite alienated as most people there were very social.
