    Do you like or hate watching sport?

    My wife & I like college football, but only when our two fave teams are involved. Also watch a little pro golf, through which we often take naps.

    How Do Aspies Progress Beyond Social & Emotional Immaturity?

    I hope that anyone Aspie who reads this won't be insulted. I bought a book called Social Rules for Kids and was surprised to find that it has so many good ideas that Aspies may relate to. I found it helpful for myself. Here's the Amazon link: Social Rules for Kids-The Top 100 Social Rules...

    I came up an INTJ last time I took it -- several years ago.

    Apergers medications and other mental conditions

    Maybe we need to ask what exactly "working" means? There are meds I've been on for well over a third of my life. I don't know that they're "working." I know that they provide comfort in some way, or maybe I'm just accustomed to them. After a point, what do we really know? Episto-chemistry?

    Which Insects Do You Like/Hate ??

    I try to get rid of any roaches I happen to see. Most spiders are fine. I love ladybugs. I once had an infestation of aphids on our roses and thought I'd have to spray. I checked on them a while later, and a squadron of ladybugs had flown in and eaten them all up. Wow.

    Did you ever break the law? Curiosity only.

    For decades, but only when it comes to using illegal substances.

    What are your favourite Christmas songs?

    Christmas is a really loathsome holiday -- It's a celebration of greed and unnecessary sentimentalizing. But, I like having some time off from work.

    What are your favourite Christmas songs?

    Since Christmas songs are inescapable this time of year, I like "Last Christmas" by Wham and the John Lennon/Yoko Ono song.

    The last thing you bought?

    I bought a Tegan and Sara CD -- they're new to me, and I like bands fronted by females, like Garbage, Amanda Palmer, The Dead Weather, Metric, The Sounds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, P J Harvey, Brody Dalle. Just love 'em. I also bought two pairs of warm socks for walking.

    The last 'thing' that made you emotional, destroying the DSM....?

    Sad emotional: My mom dying suddenly in 2007. Happy emotional: Making love with an old lover two years ago, a surprise. Humans seem to like emotion -- it's popular on TV and featured prominently.

    How long did it take for you to accept you were autistic?

    I was greatly relieved when the pieces all fell together. I did some research on the characteristics and immediately accepted it. For decades I'd wondered if I was insane or going mad or countless other explanations. Once I learned about Asperger's, my childhood and adult patterns all made sense.
