"Those with Asperger profiles might not be recognized for their empathetic qualities, due to variation in the ways empathy is felt and expressed. Some people feel deep empathy, but do not outwardly communicate these sentiments through facial expressions or language."

"People with Asperger profiles do have empathy, despite an unfortunate stigma that suggests otherwise."

"Asperger profiles may not show their feelings in the same way, or to the same extent, as those without. They may manifest feelings less outwardly, or their facial expression might not match what the individual is feeling inside."

"In addition, some individuals with Asperger profiles report that they deeply internalize others’ feelings, so that if someone else is upset, they themselves will quickly become upset as well."

"People with Asperger profiles absolutely do have feelings <...> such as fear, anger and joy."

"These phenomena will be studied through an interdisciplinary approach, which means subjects will be included, but only those (and only parts of them) that contribute to excelling in the topic."

"... instead of learning physics (or any other subject) for the sake of learning it, the students will be given the opportunity to choose from phenomena from their real surroundings and the world, such as Media and Technology, or the European Union."

"...
- You can’t build a story / brand around it
- You are trying to change buying habits
- You are operating mainly on assumptions
- Your offering isn’t interesting enough
- You are getting bad advice"

"Here is a list of things to look out for when things might be set for failure:
- You are completely clueless about what you are getting yourself into
- You are working on more than 1 thing
- You are the wrong person for the job
- It’s not a business it’s a charity
..."

"Ideas matter a lot, and if yours is a shitty one, for you, at that time, with the resources you have, it will almost certainly fail."

"That’s why entrepreneurs, myself included, waste years of their lives on shitty ideas that will never work, following the popular trend of “ideas don’t matter, only execution matters”. Bullshit."

"Knowing when to give up is near impossible and the emotional baggage that comes with making the decision to give up is unbearable."
