    I like your definition of autism. It really helps to understand autism as part of a whole individual, and then to understand that individual as part of whole relationships. I'd love to see clips of you interacting with a close friend, and then for you to comment on that interaction. Aside from discussing an interesting topic, you're very eloquent and entertaining. I can't wait to see more.

    This was great. Appreciate it. (I am bi-polar and have always suspected that my brother and I also suffer from aspergers.)

    I really liked your use of the myth. That's a great way of looking at the world, and it makes me wonder if we don't all do that, whether we are "neurotypical" or "aneurotypical" (or whatever the opposite of that would be, although the term itself is strange, because normalcy is such a fabricated concept).

    I'm a neuroscience major, so I couldn't help but wonder while watching this if you've read or are interested in any of the mirror-neuron research that is going on?

    Please continue doing these, I think they are fantastic, and I don't think you need to switch to a more "warm and fuzzy" topic.

    Hey I used to think I was a normal person. More and more I realize that the world only has a handful of really normal people in it, and I don't think I'd trade places with any of them.
    You Ms Artist are an articulate insightful and beautiful person who has far more to offer the would than you realize. Your introspection-sharing is a gift to those that receive it and are open to it.
    Aside from that, next time I go to Zesto's I want to order an Ass Burger!

    My brain routinely fires of everything at once and leaves me on the floor. I have always found the idea of 'normal' quite odd.
    I had a question about language and you after the last time. Did you have an easier time in Japan and Japanese due to the great amount of cues people give as to what is expected versus Enlgish?

    Thanks for sharing. Love your personality. You are fast becoming a celeb on a mom's forum with autistic children. You offer some of us a glimpse into the future, and insight. I got some parentheses in my family too (my cupped hands are up). BTW, insomnia/sleep issues common for auties/aspies (you probably already knew that). Hey, give up the smoking, you're better than that. Chew gum if you must. Helps with anxieties too. Mom to HFA kinder.

    woah! what's the forum? my mom would probably be interested... i'm hoping to interview her for the series in the future. my brother is 17, and has a few more asperger related issues than i do (which is sort of common when you have girl-boy asperger kids int he same family) i think she has a LOT of insight about the subject.

    i am in the process of quitting smoking RIGHT NOW. commit lozenges all the way.

    I hadn't heard the girl-boy asperger thing. Only that it is 4x as many boys have it than girls do. We would LOVE to have your mom on our board....we have a lot of new Dx, and moms of younger kids, plus a few like your mom with older kiddos. I'm sure she has much to share. I'll email you, hope your address from bikini artist.com works.

    Hey, good going on the smoking. Your not in the process, just quit. My dad smoked for 8 years in his 20's. He just quit cold turkey. He's disgusted by it now. Since your aspie, wouldn't your logical mind say, this is bad for me, so I won't do it? I guess the biological effects of addiction do come into play. I'm cheering you on.

    I overheard someone talking in my 3d class about thier husband who was jusr diagnosed with Aspergers. Without your videos I wouldn't have any idea what it was. Thanks for making and posting these videos they are very interesting, informative, Keep making these!

    You are a fantastic human being, who gives a shit how you communicate, you think, which a lot of "normal" people don't bother with.

    This sounds crazy, but I'd love to make friends with you.

    Emily, please continue making these awesome videos because I'm hoping they will give me some insights into our autistic daughter. Reading things on the internet is one thing but having the words interpreted, honestly is what is what makes this video priceless.

    bahh... fuzzy is overrated. Stay in the cerebellum, lots of pretty neural fireworks to watch in there.
