| Both, to varying degrees. The manic phase is truly lovely, the world is bliss and anything is attainable. The depressed bit is a pain, but I view that as the price paid for the manic bit. |

| Most groups tend to dislike those who don't share their views. The reason Christians and Conservatives are labelled as bigots is because the left-wing 'progressives' are very vocal in condemning them at every turn. Labour and the left are the true bigots, but you wouldn't think so from the way thing... |

| No. AS-ish (read bio) I may be, but that doesn't mean I'm disabled. It means I need to push harder to do certain things, be more methodical in some ways, less impulsive in others. Socialising is still very sucky but, contrary to the opinions of others, I don't see this as a disability; it's just som... |

| It appears that many in this topic have misread what I wrote. A sweeping generalisation of self-diagnosis? Where? I merely passed on what the clinical psychologist told me regarding abuse and AS and pointed out that those who have self-diagnosed may in fact be suffering the after-effects of abuse. S... |

| I've seen a fair number of profiles stating that people have self-diagnosed themselves as aspie. It's been a while since the clinical psychologist reported his findings after our session and one thing that stuck in my mind was his statement that the effects of child abuse resemble often autistic tra... |

You sound like your average NT. Get angry and smash something. Though it's usually a release and things look a bit rosier after. You seem to have that bit of it to get right. Still, could be worse. The plate could have dropped you. Nothing worse than a miserable plate.  |

| I think you mean when, not if. The bond market is being propped up by the FED. China has stopped buying and instead is trying to convert their paper to real assets. Rates will have to go up at some point, and when they do the bond market will be exposed for the hollow shell it is. The real problem ... |

Opinions are only that...opinions, formed by people who either had a good or bad personal experience with the game. My advice is to download the free trial and see if you enjoy it... |
