Well, you're getting that part down.  JK
Seriously though, I thought this was a joke. After seeing some replies I'm having a hard time telling. |

Don't let Mnemosyne move to the island. I read a story where a woman moved to an island to live with just her cats. They reproduced faster than she could order food to be delivered and they eventually devoured her. Mnemosyne might have lots of baby cats that will grow up and do the same to us.

It was a relief because all my life I have been studying other people and trying to do what they do so that I will fit in and not be a freak. I got the kind of AS where I want people to like me, but can't seem to avoid alienating everyone ... |

| KBABZ, you definately have ADD or ADHD; very common with AS. I'm finding it more and more difficult lately to pretend I want to talk to people I don't know that well. It seems so many people I hardly know or don't know at all want to chat about stupid things. I can fake interest, but I know I'm faki... |

| I thought I was quite stupid in my early years. I always forgot to do homework and had poor grades. My teachers said I wasn't applying myself. In my teens, I got accepted into two different gifted programs so that was sort of my first inkling that I wasn't stupid. I got picked on so badly that I mov... |

| I have serious problems with lying. I am even reluctant to tell a little white lie. I'm not sure it's that I can't pull it off believably but that I have moral problems with doing it in the first place. In fact, I was playing a game where my goal was to be the bad guy while everyone else was trying ... |

| When I moved to L.A. I was taken under the wing of an NT who started inviting me to circuit parties with his friends. I was really eager for some semblence of a social life and more importantly I wanted a boyfriend. Well, of course I have learned that circuit parties aren't the place to find a boyfr... |

I've had two and both were... they felt like reality'd suddenly just got TOO real and then it was like someone hit the reset switch on the me-computer. That sounds very much like epilepsy. You may have... |

| What would be helpful to me, though, would be to know what things about you I might misunderstand. Like if you don't like small talk, or crowds, or if bright lights bother you, or whatever. If you've already told someone you have AS, and they ask about it, I'd just say "it's a neurological conditio... |

| Yeah, that's what I did. But you could ask for a lot more. And if you were the other person, it would be logical to accept any amount, no matter how low. It's stupid: since I can only have a little, none of us gets anything at all. I interpretted it to mean that they don't know that part of it. In ... |

| I've seen some negativity but a certain amount is to be expected. Trust me when I say gay people can be overly sensitive to such things. We've had to put up with so much crap and some of us don't know how to pick our battles and just end up in battle mode all the time. *shrug* |
