Did you have a good time?

How come you've already made 40 posts on this site??!

Intensity is like crack; people keep trying to quit, but they almost always come back.

Lol Touche!  

I never said I didn't have NT in me - I just hate that aspect of me

Or more like I take it in turns to hate the NT part or the AS part in rotation!

Yes, it is rather addictive on here

Nothing happens on AV unless I start it a lot of the time!

I@m rescuing abandoned threads, advising people who are really low,
recommendign articles or books and sometimes when anotehr person comes on sayign how shit their life is
I think 'Will someone else f-ing get that for a change!'

It really anoys me how slow people are to respond to a call for help post - like it's not 'fun' so they
can't be bothered

They do respond but sometimes not very quickly

That sounds really fun, but 20 is a lot.  I have met many autistic and Aspie children, but only a few other adult Aspies IRL.  The only semi-famous one was Temple Grandin, because she lives nearby and was speaking to a church group.

true, but smaller groups splintered off and did different things for a while and at the end we just had 5-6 left.

She was really nice.  She was wearing an embroidered Western shirt like she often does and she gave me some advice for my daughter.  She autographed two copies of her book Thinking in Pictures for my daughter and her special education teacher.  I already had my own copy, which I have read twice, but I forgot to bring it with me and I thought my daughter might like to have her own autographed copy someday.
