42445	Asperger's	<div>agreed echidna, the site has been a complete blessing compared to the experience of being on retrojunk and getting into conflict with some of the more trollish members there, and taking notice of the infamous "war room" user forum where certain members got called out, but retrojunk has been a shadow of its former self since 2010 and i have no reason to go back now.</div><div><br></div><div>the positive about it i can give though is staying in touch with whatever popular rj members i could get hold of, i know a handful are already here, but i also added some on social media and on steam. i'm glad to know that i'm not a rarity in being on the spectrum on here though, it's always intriguing to hear how it's affected others and not just me giving my own perspective here.</div>	Benjanime	Mar 29, 2019

42443	Last Movie You Watched	<div>so i watched into the spider-verse with the folks tonight. everything was fine with them until spider-ham and peni parker got introduced, then they just lost interest. i'm not familiar with those two either, but i still enjoyed the movie for what it was, had a kind of roger rabbit feel to it once they came into play. fun movie and was such a triumphant step up from sony animation's previous movie, the emoji movie. (cringe)</div><div><br></div><div>4/5</div>	Benjanime	Mar 29, 2019
42442	Last Movie You Watched	I agree Vapor, Bumblebee was great. The secret was that it wasn't so serious as the other films. We had a few minor villains, minimal collateral damage to cities and a sort of engaging storyline with the kids. For me, it proves just how much of an influence Guardians of the Galaxy had on the super hero genre as of late - with all the retro ambiance, humor and levity. Same goes for Spiderman Homecoming, it was light hearted and the fate of the world wasn't at stake.<div><br></div><div><br></div>	vkimo	Mar 29, 2019
42441	Last Movie You Watched	<div>Bicentennial Man</div><div><br></div><div>Remarkable film. Simply a winner. It's a long movie, but that's okay. IMO, sometimes the long ones are the best ones. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Life is beautiful and this film proves that! Robin Williams and Chris Columbus made a great team!<br></div><div><br></div><div>1,000,000 stars!<br></div>	Mr Magic	Mar 28, 2019
42440	Asperger's	Thanks guys for your support and for sharing some of your own experiences!<br><br>One of the (many) reasons why I like Retro-Daze is because I feel like I can be myself. I read once that many of the traits of autism can appear to vanish when somebody is in their element. <br><br>It can be tough to diagnose since it is criteria-based meaning that people on the spectrum can have different "quirks" that can also range in severity. It seems like the field is undergoing a bit of a Renaissance, breaking away from myths about lack of empathy and so on.  <div><br></div><div>Personally, I struggle with communication, executive functioning (planning, decision-making), and organization. Creativity is definitely my asperger "superpower," my mind easily wanders off into like a trance-state about Indiana Jones sequels and so on. The biggest issue I have is multi-tasking or if my train of thought gets interrupted which is pretty common in family dynamics. </div><div><br></div><div>The statistics are pretty scary- that 80% of Asperger and NT (Neurotypical) marriages end in divorce, but I'm never gonna give up. <br><br>I'm glad to hear that life seems to be getting better for most of you guys. I always enjoy your celebrity interviews Caps, they are very entertaining and respectfully done.   </div>	echidna64	Mar 28, 2019
42439	Asperger's	<p>It makes you wonder just how precise the process of coming up with an Asperger or Autism diagnosis really is. I have a feeling there are some misdiagnosed folks out there</p>	Vaporman87	Mar 28, 2019
42438	Asperger's	There has been some speculation that I have it. Since I became a teenager my parents have believed I have it. I've even had some friends tell me they think I have it.<div><br></div><div>Personally, I don't think I do. I don't really match up that well with the symptoms. I have even been to therapy before and have brought this subject up to the person I was seeing. She didn't diagnose me with it.</div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Mar 28, 2019
42437	Asperger's	Was diagnosed with Asperger's in the 4th grade. Life was hard for a long time, but with jobs, regular social interaction, and mindfulness exercises (especially meditation) I like to think I've improved a lot. Like Caps, I struggled in school and like Benjamine, I sometimes have memory lapses, but I'm working on that.<div><br></div><div>The biggest challenge I have is communication. Sometimes it's hard for me to explain my thoughts and ideas to other people so I end up condensing and simplifying to the point where it's not want I wanted to say at all. Some lights and noises bug me, but isn't that true for most folks anyway?</div>	jkatz	Mar 28, 2019
42436	Asperger's	<p>Thanks for the incite into the struggles you’ve had in the past as well as present day, Caps. I wonder how the difficulty in distinguishing between sarcasm and seriousness, as well as the other communication problems you mentioned, are improved or worsened when it is done online with text communication?</p>	Vaporman87	Mar 28, 2019
