Non-Aspies don't like it much either. I imagine though your ability to control rage is slighty better as you have the benefit of a higher level of social skills  | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

I suspect that if I had been born in the last 15 or 20 years, I might have been diagnosed as well We all work with what we've got. [Edit: fixed typo] | | | | Last edited: by CalebAndCo |

| | Posted: | | | | My son has autism spectrum problems, and he, like many such, finds that the repercussions of his behavior are lessened on the internet. But when his anti-social behavior is pointed out, he apologizes rather than makes excuses. That way more people enjoy his tweets and forum posts. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

| | Posted: | | | | Of the UK the only accents or dialects I have any trouble with are the Scottish and the Welch.
I've been in Scotland and in a Scottish pub, I didn't understand a word, but didn't lack for anything to drink. Maybe I didn't have enough to drink, but did date a Scottish lass, the only bookie I ever dated.
One of my favorite Crime/Drama TV shows is Scotland's Taggart. It has to be the longest running cop show on TV, on the air since 1983-2010, 27 seasons.
BFS started distributing the series in 2006 in the US, (1983-1995) 11 sets, 32 episodes (discs) no subtitles.
Fortunately Acorn Media picked up the series with subtitles, but so far only (2002-2005) 3 sets, 23 Episodes (7 discs).
That is only 55 of the 110 episodes, still waiting for Acorn to add some more, I doubt if I'll ever see the whole series here in the US. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | I was in the USAF, at a maintenance shop in Wiesbaden, Germany, maintaining the Siemens Microwave sites in the Eastern Half of what was West Germany. Our sergeant and the weather squadron sergeant were buddies and he would arrange fights all over Europe. One of the guys wives was a Fraulein and didn't speak much English, she ask him what he did on the weather flights. He said he wold look out the window and when he saw the wind he would yell Wind Ho! If you have seen MASH, he was our Radar.
He knew everybody and how to get anything. We had nice Hollywood bed reserved for the nurses.
I a pass to go from Iceland to Tripoli and any place in Europe. Needless to say I had a great three years there.

| | Posted: | | | | In 2009 I took my 71-year-old mother, who had hardly left Wisconsin, on a trip of England, Scotland and Ireland. She had no problem at all understanding the Scottish accents, while I had significant difficulty with it. She loved it. I think maybe it was watching all those BBC imports.
Anyway, I loved True Grit and thought it was terrific. I'm reading the book and the film is an amazingly faithful adaptation of the novel. I need to go back and watch the John Wayne one when I'm done, but thumbs up to this one. It has my vote.
Second favorite Best Picture Oscar nominee, after True Grit, was The King's Speech, and then Black Swan, which I found amazing but my wife hated hated hated. Still have yet to see Inception and The Fighter. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | I had fun time sitting through Never Let Me Go not that long ago. Yeah it's a butchered adaptation of the book. But what you expect cause in the book it jumps between so many different parts of a persons childhood. It was going to end up watered down. Any way that's not the point I hoped to get through the film without hearing "Why don't they just run away". But know someone blurted it out and my face fell into my palm. Obviously they never studied the holocaust! You take away everything and they can't run. |
