She said my prosody doesn't vary, that I say every word with the same emphasis or inflection (or lack thereof). My mom disagrees, and I never noticed, but, if that's the worst I do...
Just heard that my grandfather's fine  |

| Well, I had my appointment today with the psychiatrist my school sent me to. She said, judging by what I told her, my family history, and especially my speech patterns (which you can't judge online), she thinks I have Aspergers! Great! I'm an individual, I'm a genius, and I honestly would not have f... |

91 out of 200 Aspie. "You are most likely neuro-typical."
Weird test. Most (not all, but most) of the questions struck me as personality quirks, non-indicative of anything abnormal. |

| But in all honesty, if a person has to "think hard" to find possible symptoms......chances are......they aren't there. And likely don't have Asperger's Syndrome. It's like saying a person may have stomach cancer because they recall throwing up, waking up with a sore stomach, or having bad gas :oops... |

| ^ My thoughts EXACTLY. My mom and I had a fight today over something so STUPID (I overreacted to finding I'd wasted money by ordering the wrong book online for a class), all because of my anxiety. (I partially blame my incompatibility with talking on the phone; it never would have happened if we'd s... |

| If I just have social anxiety, could I still stick around? I like the way you guys think around here. Anyways, the hair-twirling is enough to fulfill category II. So, you meet categories I and II. You have said that it seems to interfere with your social interaction, so that's Category III. If you ... |

| Think hard. Do you or did you have REALLY STRONG interests? Did you have a GOOD vocabulary at an early age? Have you had problems with some rhetoric, humor, etc... They are all probable AS symptoms. Granted, they don't mean you have AS, but they are part of a puzzle. If you have enough pieces that ... |

| Angels are fellow servants of God along with us, they're a different and more powerful creation than man but apart from God they would have no power. Read in Job, even the accuser has to obey God. In Revelation it says Revelation 22:8-9 KJV [8] And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when ... |

| A true Christian believes in God, that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," and that forgiveness and accepting Christ's gift of redemption is the only way to Heaven. Every human sins, and every sinner (therefore, everyone ) deserves to go to Hell, but Christ took our sins upon Himse... |

| Oh, it didn't surprise me in the least. It's like... the true me doesn't care about the social rules at all, but there's a voice in my head saying that's wrong of me. The true me hates normalcy anyway, but that voice is telling me I should. That is strictly a metaphor , by the way -- I don't hear li... |

| The best advice I can give you is to see several psychiatrists and see what they all have to say.... But see more of them than one because the psychiatric institution is wrought with fraud. Have one scheduled for next week, but it's the Labor Day weekend, and I'm impatient. Here's a good one: http:... |
