    Theory Finds That Individuals With Aspergers Don't Lack Empathy...

    Definitely agree with that!! Ideas and even facts in psych change so often, or are dismissed altogether. It doesn't really seem that the site is very credible, but at the same time, I have heard many aspies say these very same things. So it's at least based in truth.

    Theory Finds That Individuals With Aspergers Don't Lack Empathy...

    Also, you don't have to know what others are feeling to be empathetic. Someone can tell you what they are feeling, and you can hone in on that. I've taught myself to do that better over the years.

    Theory Finds That Individuals With Aspergers Don't Lack Empathy...

    I don't think it matters one way or the other, but I'm sure there are many here who will resonate with this. And it definitely does for me, very strongly. We all know that all aspies are different. :)

    Freebies and Perks

    You can't get $200 a month for SNAP just for being on the spectrum. Unfortunately they make it as difficult as possible. Yes...I am unmarried, unemployed with a 2 year old daughter and I only get $115 from Snap a month. I live in VA. (worst state ever to live in for things like this) I...

    What Is The Best Movie About Asperger's Syndrome?

    Not sure this has been said but Temple Grandin isn't an aspie. She has classic autism. :) I honestly didn't like Mozart and the Whale very much, but I think a part of that was my inability to get over the female leads loud and raucous voice ^_^ I've been unsuccessfully looking for a...

    What is your social kryptonite?

    I don't get jokes quite often...either at all, or I understand the joke much later, after thought. Also, I think my sense of humour is much different than most, so when the joking begins, it's clear I don't find it funny, or that I'm confused. Often I pretend to laugh just because it's easier...

    Seems like I can't ever state my opinion without someone wanting to debate me. I've pretty much just stopped voicing myself. So frustrated

    The best trips you ever took

    I was lucky enough to spend three weeks in Spain, France, and Italy after my high school graduation. Nothing has come close to topping that yet. :P

    Do you like My Little Pony?

    I'm a pretty big fan. I love Rarity a lot. My pony personality says that I'm Princess Luna, and as a true selenophile I think I'll agree with that ^_^

    Ordinal-linguistic personification Synesthesia

    That is really cool, and as I read through them a lot of them made a lot of sense to me! ^_^

    What is Your Genius Type?

    I don't think I'm close to genius, but I am quite good at music theory, which seems pretty abstract to most people. I'm just very intensely into music, and hear it in math terms, so to speak. I also play violin :) Bur def not genius. :(
