6/9/2008 2:41:36 PM

Well, that's only the symptoms of about half of all mental and personality disorders

6/9/2008 2:42:01 PM

All you serial wankers out there listen up...

I am admittedly terrible at reading body language and facial expressions.

I once almost got into a fight with this guy and I thought the whole time that he was just joking. My last words before he stormed out the door were "WELL I'VE GOT FISTS OF FURY SO JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT TO DO THIS." I thought we were just playing and I haven't seen him since. lol.

A lot of these sound like me.

6/9/2008 6:00:30 PM

to that quiz: so because i'm incredibly observant i have adult autism?

lame

6/9/2008 6:01:57 PM

I think if somebody says they're autistic based on these facts then they're just using an excuse...

not implying you ^^ btw. I know I feel like a lot of those sometimes and thats just me being lazy.

i have a frequency to speak to myself, durrrrrr it called decision making

6/9/2008 6:05:22 PM

my roommate is autistic, her parents just ignore it and it pisses me off to no end

i used to worry and feel guilty about it a lot because they dont have many friends and generally piss others off because most people dont realize right off that my roommate has it... very frustrating

6/9/2008 6:09:55 PM

waa i kill thread

6/9/2008 6:26:47 PM

someone is my family has it, and i just found out, and you feel really bad for thinking that they were stupid for a very long time, so i understand where you are coming from

6/9/2008 6:29:58 PM

i hate collective activites

6/9/2008 6:30:44 PM

it a child actually, and i vividly remember one day watching this child stand in the front yard and shaking a belt for like 15 mins, and i was just thinking he was just cutting the fool, so i chased him down and tickled the shit out of him.

6/9/2008 6:34:25 PM

yeah, it doesnt dawn on a lot of people when they meet someone w/ adult autism or Aspergers (what my roommate has) that they may have more going on than just being "annoying" or "stupid" or "sheltered"

lots of people dont have the patience either... what really pisses me off is the parents though, they were blessed with other "normal" children so i guess that gives them an excuse to ignore the "other one"
