  • Hmmm. That's given me something to think about.

    I thought he was pretty normal actually, typical teenager except I once heard that it's only people with Aspbergers that have any chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Maths as you can't be just good at maths but obsessively brilliant.

    As for mundane tasks - well I hate cleaning so have a house-keeper. Does that count?

    I honestly don't see any problem for you - except your mini panic attacks that hurt your throat may be a little difficult to explain.

    Enjoy yourself.
    My son and I have both survived this (I think) without the label.

    • I think most people hate cleaning their houses. ;)

      Mundane tasks aren't all that bad. Sure, they're boring, but I won't use my Asperger's as an excuse not to tidy up.

      It's basically the throat thing that's the worst. But for the rest... yeah, I can deal with it. :)

      • Aw then don't worry too much. You only have to make a gf aware that you don't like too much happening at the same time as it panics you.

        I'm sure you're a great guy so don't let anyone use it as an excuse to look down on you.
