		<title>Do Women With AS Have a &#8220;Male Disorder&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where are all the girls, the women, with Asperger’s?  Are there truly fewer of us than there are boys and men?  And what does it mean to be a female living one’s entire life with a “male disorder"?  What is the nature of autism in a female body and brain?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Updated 8/31: new e-mail address) Hey, all. My name&#8217;s DJ, and I recently volunteered to help out with content and Web presence here at AspBlogosphere. I&#8217;ll explain about that in a second. First, a little about me: I am an adult with AS. I&#8217;ve got a blog of my own, and I program websites for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asperger Syndrome and the Quest for Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is no coincidence that so many Aspies are scientists -- and atheists.  Scientists do not look for what is good or right; atheists do not look for what is unifying or comforting.  They look for what is true.  For what is.  Regardless of what anyone else says -- or threatens.  Did Copernicus have Asperger's?  Did Galileo?  I wonder.]]></description>

		<title>Tips on Being a Considerate Audience Member</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having attended quite a few different events where the audience consisted largely of Aspies, I feel both qualified and compelled to share some indispensable advice on how one ought to behave at such events. First of all, when I say &#8220;how one ought to behave,&#8221; I&#8217;m not talking about some archaic system of etiquette which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perspectives on Social Awkwardness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a little over a week since this year&#8217;s Adult Conference at Northeastern University, and I am almost fully recovered.

		<title>Autism: Difference or Disorder?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A person with some characteristics of autism may be loyal, honest, trustworthy, hard-working, focused and thorough.  However, give the same person "too much" autism, and he or she becomes so severely impaired as to render these positive features unhelpful.  It is the impairment-to-benefit ratio, I think, that determines whether autism is a gift, a difference, or a disorder.]]></description>

		<title>Once In 10 Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There I was, sitting in Dania’s car with her on our way to the Massachusetts State House, not knowing in the least what to expect.  Dania asked me a couple of days before my first day working as an intern for AANE, whether or not I would like to attend the ceremonial signing of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Body Language of Machines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not too long ago- it must have been just this last week- I was navigating through that nightmarish intersection between Beacon Street and Newton Center when a realization hit me.  I realized something that would prove to be an invaluable insight in how I deal with the daily problems of this world.
