What's the distinction between Aspie and "higher-functioning Aspie"?

The method I was taught for trapping a mouse is to put a glass over it and then slide a coaster underneath. Don't ever pick it up by its tail.

Was this documentary ever made? Just wondering.

Lately I've become rather intrigued to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, even though the reviews aren't that positive. Apparently it includes a scene or two shot at the church of St Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb, which I occasionally attend.

Some perspectives on living without a car (or not). Funny how it's the Londoner who is most attached to her car! http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2001/nov/23/features11.g2

If only it were as easy to find a job in Bristol. I was gutted to learn that the city's BIG Green Week (9-17 June) will not feature a jobs fair after all, despite it having been originally mentioned in its advance publicity as recently as January. http://biggreenweek.com A spokesman for Sustainable Bristol told me the decision to drop it was made "largely due to the dates clashing with our local University [sic] partner's exams period".

I'm rather tempted to see The Cabin in the Woods, but it's supposed to be so scary I feel I should go with someone to hold my hand. Mind you, I thought the same about the Blair Witch Project - and when I eventually saw it on telly I was disappointed at how unfrightened I was!

Is this any help? http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/aug/17/migraine-alternative-solution-painkillers

"Features" strikes me as odd terminology to use. To my mind that means visible physical symptoms, and most of Asperger's doesn't fall into that category.

Any excuse to show this awesome video, any excuse...

That definitely wasn't in London! http://www.mouseprice.com/property-for-sale/London?MinPrice=60000&MaxPrice=70000 Or Bristol, for that matter...

On a point of information, Prospects' Manchester office closed last year. http://www.projectaspie.com/getting-support/66-employment

And why is there this assumption that all Aspies like bowling? I can't stand it myself.

Watch out with taking codeine - it can cause awful constipation.

I found this site, which doesn't mention Asperger's anywhere: http://www.edcm.org.uk/

What about the other participants on the show? I have a sneaking feeling that Kali (the 20-year-old woman with Williams syndrome in episode 3) was added at a later stage to make up numbers, as witness the fact that she did not appear in the poster line-up, nor is her picture displayed on the programme website. Considering that she has already had one relationship, and decided against seeing her date again because she'd decided she didn't want a relationship at that point in her life, she hardly strikes me as "undateable"! I should be so lucky. Also on episode 3, was I being unduly prudish when I winced at Sam's one-word response to his dad asking what being careful meant ("Condoms!"). Surely there's more to sexual responsibility than that, regardless of how many chromosomes you have?

Not when I last attended - they remained at the same pub (the Tally Ho, a Wetherspoon's) for the duration of the meeting. That was last summer.

How are you going to go about finding your daughter a job?

I've been to both. My biggest complaint is that both were for the most part social groups, and I would have preferred something more focussed on practical support to get back to work. And by that I don't mean "have you tried Prospects?" because I have and I'm on their waiting list.
