A couple of questions, and maybe a good place for "others' " questions....
Here is my question, others may follow up with an answer or other questions.
One of the things that is part of my "makeup" is my intensity about things. When I DO get started on something....I tend to go at it full force, non-stop; dispising the need to break or rest or even to stop to eat or sleep.
Is this a common aspect of Aspies?

Me, 5 years to be vindicated on one item, just the following left, it became a side thread of the 5-year issue..
With my doctors practice, on Tuesday I finally get to see the practice manager to discuss some bad things, becucase last week, they sent me a letter with my birth date on the address label.
3 months ago, i tried to meet with her, but she used my psyhcoligest as a way one go between.
Because of that, matters got worse, Our Privacy Commissioner is now involved plus our Health and Disability Commissioner.
On Tuesday, I dont want to make a big deal of it, I got a lot of trade off's to give up, in exchange for truth on 2-3 items, then, I report to the two Commisioners i finnaly got to meet the manager.
But 3 weeks ago, there was a casualty, as the psycoligest is now up before this licensing board, for inappropriate behaviour, as in getting involved, by useing our professional relationship and mutual trust after the practice manager asked him to forward her message to me.
It came out of the blue, no warning, the law states I had a right to have a advocate present., which was denied.
BTW, I got so many things sorted since my diagnoses I dont really need a psychcoligest any more. (that is good, because I can not spell it)
Anyway Goodhart, dont bother getting that Aspie test, every day that passes, you prove more and more to be an Aspie.
Now go and invent light bulb like Aspie Thomas Edison did, but this time, a light bulb using no electricity

With me, it can become more than simple persisency.....I get obsessed; like I am on caffiene fed directly into the blood stream or something.
(I dont really need a psychcoligest any more. (that is good, because I can not spell it)
That is what a browser spellchecker is for ;-)
Now go and invent light bulb like Aspie Thomas Edison did, but this time, a light bulb using no electricity
Hmm, that could be dangerous.....didn't Madame Currie die from trying to make a stove without using fire? :-)
Goodhart, a spell checker is build for people with their brains hard wired the normal way , I could not even get close enough for my computer to guess what I meant, thus i use auto enter in Word a lot, my codes always start with x.
Next time I am at library, I will look up the book which has a reference to a real story, a kid building a nuclear reactor.
He was so far advanced when his parents found out, that authorities had to sent in decontamination teams.
I wonder how many smoke detectors you need, to get enough material, to require a decontamination team?
No more, dont want to give anybody ideas.
BTW, Dukes of Hazard, I recokon a lot of chase sceans and jumps, are duplicated on other epicides.
Ever watch "Thunderbirds"? I think 30% of each 50 minutes is canned footage
You don't think I am Aspie anymore then? Spell checkers work for me (most of the time; if not, I go to GOOGLE, and that normally works ;-)
Then, let's call it "DRIVE" ;-)

Well, by the time the Curies' had discovered that Uranium got
hot
at "critical mass", they were nearly as good as dead....But what was his next project after the fission reactor went critical?
Fusion?
these kids are going to finish off the planet, after our generation started with the global warming.
Hey, if a kid could do, I wonder how many smoke detectors Sudan had lieing around? Maybe there was something to find, but the UN inspectors just walked past the mountain of smoke detectors outside Bagdad? The climbed to the top, looked around 360 degrees with binoculars, looking for nuclear material and saw none. *(I wonder if any kid members search this web site for mention of nuclear material sources?)
Americium which is a silvery metal; it is a man-made element whose isotopes americium-237 through -246 are all radioactive. Americium-241 is formed spontaneously by the beta decay of plutonium-241. Trace quantities of americium are widely used in smoke detectors, and as neutron sources in neutron moisture gauges.
The radiation source in an ionization chamber detector is a very small disc, about 3 to 5 millimeters in diameter, weighing about 0.5 gram. It is a composite of americium-241 in a gold matrix. The average activity in a smoke detector source is about one microcurie, 1 millionth of a curie.
Ci: The basic unit used to describe the intensity of radioactivity in a sample of material. The curie is equal to 37 billion (3.7 x 1010) disintegrations per second, which is approximately the activity of 1 gram of radium. A curie is also a quantity of any radionuclide that decays at a rate of 37 billion disintegrations per second. It is named for Marie and Pierre Curie, who discovered radium in 1898.
Anyway, that book was fact, except no references to learn more about the kid, no even which country.
I admire that damn kid for trying.
Here's one article. The # of smoke detectors he gutted is documented out there somewhere...
Incidentally, he's been arrested more recently for trying to stockpile more fissionable material...

which appears to be a useful resorce
Anyway, I was just explaining, in my last post, my "joke" about Mrs. Curie dying from making a "stove" (something that got hot) without a fire.
Sorry for being obscure.
I HAD read something about a youngin that had designed and at least partially built a nuclear device, but I thought it was a bomb. Meh, it was so long ago, I don't remember.
As for Madam Curie, this following is from the 1940 "The Boy Electrician."
- "Many young experimenters are unaware what a wonderful and interesting field is open to the possessor of a small X-ray tube"
AND even worse- "Place the hand flat on the photographic plate and permit the X-ray tube to run for about 15-minutes without removing the hand."
I suppose every school lab, had a small X-ray tube to play around with, which the nurse would borrow, to check for possible broken bones, after a scrap in the school yard.Ms Curie just used other methods, but thanks to her, today we got "power too cheap to meter" or we will have one day, when we know how to make it safe without spending billions. (its the safety gear, that brings the cost up so high.
That book, I got a copyright expert looking at if I can scan it, and post to the Internet Archive, alongside The Boy Mechanic Books one and two.
Other books I see advertising for small X-ray tubes for experimenters, one suggested serving of a small X-ray tube
- "Use to remove hair from arms"
The world has changed a lot since those days, no need to play with X-ray tubes any more, instead we set off nuclear bombs above ground, so EVERYBODY gets a share of radiation wholesale..We never learn from mistakes.

Why do doctors and nurses DELIVER babies? What about news items where cops, taxi drivers, etc deliver babies?
Should it not be TAKE DELIVERY OF A BABY?
Peter (driving the world nuts with questions of logic.)
Why do we drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway.
But when a Doctor does it, it is a transitive Verb form, making it a different part of speech and is therefor defined differently :-p
