Well, telling people I have aspergers now is like telling them I'm vegetarian: I've been one for so long, and it affects my life so subtly that I usually forget to...

But ya...I had a bad experience when I told some new friends I had acquired a couple years ago that I had it. I guess they thought I was weird or something and stopped hanging with me. Meh, it's always good to weed out the losers though using that method.

But here's two truths I've learned:

"Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish to the crowd." - I Ching

"After all, the really social people did not invent the first stone spear. It was probably invented by an Aspie who chipped away at rocks while the other people socialized around the campfire. Without autistic traits we might still be living in caves" - Temple Grandin
