Aspies For Freedom - Aspie birthday to you! (and related ramblings)

Is a toothbrush an adequate consolation for the loss of one's teeth? :?

(most of us seem to dislike celebrating landmarks and big calender events traditional, or "nt", style).

How does 'traditional' equate nt? Besides, at least in my circle, the holidays that are big with the general population are also big with my Aspie friends. Especially Halloween.

I'm a bit confused, who's Richard?

I'm glad to had a good time, and Happy New Year to you too Smile

Perhaps I am generalising too much outside the habits of my friends. As a group we tend not to observe traditional occasions with a lot of fuss (or not at all). My "nt" friends (I hate having to make such distinctions), on the other hand, normally go in for large gatherings with intensive social inter-action.

Instead low-key gatherings are the norm for us, as we are confused as to what all the excitement is about with others (but we enjoy eachothers company non-the-less, even if there isn't an obvious reason to do so). Smile

I really need to change that signature one of these days!

Richard is the guy whose birthday we went to celebrate.
