What? I have had a lot of depression and I have been irritated and kind of angry under the surface a lot. But rages? That's not something I have had a lot of. I tend to be very "passive" or how I should put it, introvert I guess. More a passive form of aggression than actual rage. But maybe that's just me.

capsaicin ( quarter teaspoon of chiili powder straight out of the spice bag will do fine )

Asperger's syndrome, also called Asperger's disorder, is a type of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). PDDs are a group of conditions that involve delays in the development of many basic skills, most notably the ability to socialize with others, to communicate, and to use imagination.
Limited range of interests: A child with Asperger's syndrome may develop an intense, almost obsessive, interest in a few areas, such as sports schedules, weather, or maps.
Skilled or talented: Many children with Asperger's syndrome are exceptionally talented or skilled in a particular area, such as music or math.
If someone asks if you have Asperger you should probably take that as a compliment. As I said I don't think it is a disorder. Of course it is a disorder from the neurotypical perspective, but that is not an all-encompassing perspective.

I have been asked If I was a "Aspi" a few times here on ATS. Nope, don't believe I am, I have way too much "Imagination" LOL LOL LOL
Though I do have two of the symptoms

Aspies are often among the most creative and intelligent people out there.

Interesting that you bring this up. Because I have been thinking lately about how I am interested in religion but mostly the esoteric/occult/mystical aspects of it. Sure, I'm interested in the exoteric aspects too, but not as much. I have been reading more about the esoteric than the exoteric. Lately I have been thinking that maybe I should try to read more about the exoteric aspects, or maybe reading about that first. But I don't think I could stand reading about that only (first) so I'd have to read about it alongside the other stuff. I don't know. If I read about initiations and it turns out you have to pray 5 times a day for at least 5 years to even be considered for the first steps of initiation then I guess I'll deal with that then. Maybe it's no big deal to just read whatever I feel like reading...

When studying any subject one must start on the outside of the subject, first. In this way you can not be swayed by any mindsets that are already established. And why do it this way? Because the subject, no matter what it is, can already have certain negative bias's incorporated into the subject, and no one inside the "discipline" would ever see, or suspect them.. If I were studying to be a scientist in the middle ages I would be taught the world is flat. We all know how that turned out.

Where did you get that idea from about studying the outermost layers of something first?
If it seems to be a waist of time, then it probably is.....
I get your point but in religion there's so much literal interpretations of metaphors and all kinds of stuff that seems just a waste of time.

Don't get medical advice on the internet. You can't be diagnosed long distance.
If you think you have an issue, talk to your doctor.
