I actually read an interesting article about autism and atheists. The part of the brain that process religion and faith in an aspie' date=' doesn't function like those who aren't on the spectrum. It goes in hand with their very literal and logical thinking. So she's absolutely not alone. <b>And as parent of a nonbeliever, neither are you :)</b> I'm glad you can find comfort in this forum.[/quote']

I should clarify, I am not a parent. But there are several parents of nonbelieving aspies out there :)

Damn I just outed myself. Feels good.

I always knew I liked you for some reason....now I know why.

I've taken that AQ test many times ....the one mentioned in the huff post article. I usually score 38-40. Laura-Ven says I'm still ok....she would know I guess. There's one question in that test that usually makes me laugh out loud....the "would you rather go to a library or a party" question. In high school I went to the library many times when I was supposed to be at a party. But I never went to a party when I was supposed to be at the library...like most kids did.

I do not have aspergers, BUT once when receiving the results of those corporate personality/workstyle tests.. the test administrator pulled me aside and suggested I get tested for it. I do not believe I have it, but I definitely have many of the characteristics.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
