I'm white. I'm not black. I can't convert to being black. It doesn't matter how much I want to become black. I could listen to rap and date fat white women all day; for all that, I'll still remain white.- Traditio

ok....perhaps it is useful but that doesn't make me like it any better
but thanks for the link....who knows it might end up being something interesting.
Orthodoxy is just the Tyranny of the Majority, a Spiritual Despotism where accepted doctrine is Sacred, Untouchable self-evident truth no matter how absurd it may be.
It doesn't really bother me at this point though and there are some perks......immunity to things like groupthink and peer pressure aren't going to make me mister popularity but they can go along way toward keeping me from doing stupid things.
I like your attitude! You seem to have it dealt with and figured out. All I can say is if ever we seem like drunkards, just let us know because I doubt any of us intend on seeming that way, we just ramble alot .

...or my acting has become 2nd nature
I think being an aspie has allowed me to separate the wheat from the chaff, which is to say that the people who stand by my side accept me for me.....sometimes i can be very non-conformist or/and iconoclastic.....some might say radical in the way i view things. imo if you can't deal with that side of me then i don't need you around. i've learned to play the game well enough to get my foot in the door...but...i'm me and either you can hang with the way i roll or you can't. if you can't i'll show you the door in a heart beat.

Some of you may or may not know this, but I am an Aspie. It's always kind of weird to think of myself in that light, for example, when my mother will talk about.
The reason it's wierd, I suppose, is because I don't really think of myself with someone as a disorder or with something that needs to be cured. Don't get me wrong. I am radically out of sync with most people. Chances are, I'll probably never get married. No woman will likely ever really love me in that way. And I don't form very many friendships. I'm not the life of the party. I don't go out much.
In a word: I am boring and I tend to be completely out of touch with most of society and with most of my peers. And what you'll read on the wiki page really does describe me to a T. From my utter social clumsiness to the wierd facts about how I have sleeping difficulties or am sensitive to loud noises...
But if an angel of God were to come before me at this very moment and say: "I hold in my hands two lives for you. In one life, you will be completely normal. In the other, you must live on an Aspie." I ask myself: would I change my personality?
And I find myself answering that I would not.* As completely socially awkward as I am, many things in my life, I think, have been influenced by my so called "disorder" in a positive way. I am in an MA program in philosophy. I can read Latin. I'm learning French.
I am an incredibly intelligent person. Part of Aspergers' syndrome is that you tend to have narrow, focused interests and you basically become "addicted" to those interests. Well...ever since the age of 16, mine has been philosophy. I've had an interest in the middle ages and antiquity since I was quite young.
And because of my habitual, "ritualistic" lifestyle, because my days pretty much tend to go the same way, etc...? Because I insist on keeping the same sleeping schedule, doing things at the same time every day, because of my punctuality, etc...? It really does facilitate a life of the intellect.
I don't know. What do you think? Disorder or personality type? In need of a cure? Or "different strokes for different folks"?
*If only I could find and keep a girlfriend.
You seem to be godly person, why would you want to change????????????

It seems to me that you are meant to live just for Jesus. It is blessing the way you are spiritually. Take advantage of it and concentrate on serving Him.

My daughter is a teacher and her speciality is working with kids like yourself. They are usually very caring and loving children. And with patience and understanding can have normal life.
You friend, although we do not agree in theology are a plesure to post with. Your love for all is like a beacon. You do very well with your communications skills. I wish I could do as well. You remind me of myself, I have always been shy. I was never popular. But I like most everyone I meet. Believe me friend, there are many women who would love to meet a guy like you. Don't sell yourself short. You have the guts to overcome any thing in life.
Peace my friend.
