    Your personal role models

    I'm taking a drawing class because "why not", and one guy I'd love to have a pint with is Otto Dix. I feel like his art is "honest", for the lack of a better word.

    Your personal role models

    Archimedes. His ability to apply existing concepts to make new discoveries in Mathematics, then apply them in Engineering makes me squee. The way he interprets the world and universe through its sheer mathematical and mechanical beauty taught me at a very young age that to understand something...

    Anyone else sick of people only coming here to get back their relationships?

    I don't mind if they try to learn more about AS. If anything, it gives us an opportunity to inform neurotypical people about AS, and hopefully they will be more informed in the end. Though I think those that some of the posts you speak of is more about not wanting to be alone than trying to...
