13. Not quite...
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 10:08 PM by Spider Jerusalem
It's an autistic spectrum disorder, not a social learning disability...but difficulty in reading and using facial expressions, gesture, tone of voice, and so on appropriately go with it...

Oh, and :hi: to my fellow Aspies. Heh.

22. There's a Suspected Aspie's Person in my Landscape program at school
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 11:27 PM by miss_kitty
I did not know about it and a classmate told me that's what she possibly had, w/o knowing it. The classmate who told me is a mom whose teenage son has Aspie's quite markedly, and said there are a lot of kids at his school with it. She said they all have a class together, where's it only them. "They all hate each other," she said.

Edited for clarity

23. It's strange for Aspies to dislike each other
Usually it's easy to relate to other Aspies, because nobody's doing weird things involving facial expressions and stuff.

25. I had a roommate on the autistic spectrum
It made communication really easy; we talked like we IM, and we could both try to understand what the neurotypicals around us were saying!
