Do People with Asperger’s Notice More?
by Nomi
I’m wondering if Aspies’ resistance to change is related to the fact that we might notice or experience more details in life. Situations that neurotypical people might feel are unchanging or monotonous might feel full of change for Aspies, since we are noticing more of the details of what’s going on. … I’m thinking maybe we’re okay with change, but we simply get all the change we need in our day-to-day experiences — even seemingly repetitive experiences.

Emotional Hypersensitivity, Anyone?
by Nomi
What about you? Do you get sad or angry more easily than other people you know? What kinds of things in the world upset you the most? Do you avoid these things? What about things that make you happy?

Asperger Syndrome in a Sound Byte

What is Asperger syndrome? Can you define it in 10 words or fewer? Can you explain it 3 seconds?

Asperger Syndrome and the Quest for Truth
by Nomi
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.
