I've posted 30 Kinks videos in the main music thread, because I want to be autistic, and that's why I also have over 20,000 posts.

no I don't, just like 99% of the people here :)

I used to suspect myself of AS (not autism, and not the same thing) and I've been diagnosed with ADHD. there's plenty of like-minded people here. and anyway, as you can read on the home page:

Wrong Planet is the web community designed for individuals (and parents of those) with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, PDDs, and other neurological differences.


and it's almost NT-free which is why I like it. :wink:

I suppose that depends on your definition of "autism"...

I think it must be truth that I have asperger's because I'm seriously not sure if this is sarcasm or not....

I am terrible with sarcasm, most of the time I don't realize I am being very sarcastic, but when its aimed at me I am oblivious to it.

Hopefully in two weeks I'll be able to answer your question. I'm definitely on the spectrum, the question is whether it's AS or something more mild like PDDNOS, because I do well socially in structured settings where the amount of nonverbal communication is very minimal. I'm also very outgoing in general, but I end up saying things that are not appropriate to the situation very often.

What defines really having Autism, shenzie? Being diagosed as Autistic vs. having AS or PDD-NOS? An written slip of paper from a doctor? And why do you ask?
