It's about different SOMEthings in AS... Not sure how else to describe it. Go read!
Some comments:
1. He's sure right about having no idea about time, seriously, I'm completely PARANOID about being late because I never know how time is flowing. Though I also have no sense, or a limited sense, rather, of space, as in "how much space things take up" and direction. I tend to think of these things as related, though I doubt they really are.
2. I'm hardly faceblind. Except for a few embarassing incidents... like the number of classes I've had where the same person was in both classes, sometimes one right after another (in high school) so they came to both with me... and to me, they seemed like different people. And there's a number of people who know me and I just don't know them at all. But there's also plenty of people I very easily recognize, even people I have no *need* to recognize (family, mostly). I'm not sure why this is, or what it is, but it's NOT faceblindness. Anyone have the same issues, aspie or not?
3. CAPD: I want to do more research into this. Jenn, don't let me forget.
I'm not going to attempt to analyse the behavior part of the paper, I have no interest in trying to recall my behavior. Other people can do that for me.
There was no point to me saying any of this, of course. I just thought you might like to read it. Or maybe not. Whatever.

You know what kind of stuff I mean. Any kind of change needs commitment, but it also needs a plan. Get back to me on this, ok?
