Quote:

There is no official diagnosis, but some modern analyses suggest Stephen Foster may have been autistic, citing traits like his intense focus on music and social awkwardness. He was also known to be an alcoholic and possibly depressive, and his life involved struggles with mental health and substance abuse.
Possible autism: Some individuals and online communities have proposed that Foster may have been autistic, based on biographical information and his life experiences.
Mental health issues: Foster also struggled with alcoholism and depression, which were more widely documented aspects of his life.
Lack of diagnosis: As he lived in a time before the modern understanding of autism, there was no diagnosis, and any claims are speculative interpretations of his life and behavior.

Woa, if only this was certain, it might be the only way I can ever accept my diagnosis.

I just saw that commercial for The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Now I feel guilty for being the way that I am.

I'm not going to go all Mod again just because I saw that commercial. I'm going to love myself, helmet, accent, colours and all. If the staff at the clubhouse should worry about me, it should be when I'm wearing British stuff.

"Oh, you saw that commercial again, last night. You were doing so well...."

Those commercials are enough to make a German hang his head in shame.

I'm not going to let a commercial dictate the way that I feel.

I used to think it was called "bombfire night"

It was actually someone from WP who showed me that I was wrong

I used to think it was "bomb fire". That's how I pronounced it for a long time lol. I think a lot of people did though. Like a lot of people I know used to think a gun-block was a "gumblock" lol. So did I.

:lol: was the WP member called RobTheManc or am I making that one up

He was very gentle in correcting me on it, I literally remember it every single year and I've probably posted about it before as well

We used to call it "bommy night" so i think that's why I thought it was "bombfire night"

"Gum powder" that's another one :lol:
