The Truth Files

Stephen Colbert/Daily Show Love. House, Hugh Laurie, Black Adder, BritCom obsessiveness. Eddie Izzard quoting ad naseum. Self loathing. Other people loathing. Anything else I can loathe-fit that in there too. Tales of alcohol and dogs. The occassional night at the bar causing trouble. Mis-treating brain cells...Who needs them? No sex. No drugs-usually. Much rock'n'roll. Just trying to survive in 615. Y'know. The usual.

That Was Me

I was reading this and nodding in agreement at some of the points. I mean-I honestly believe this is me pretty much to the T as it were-but then I read this stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms (e.g., hand or finger flapping or twisting, or complex whole-body movements) and I literally stopped dead and said "Oh my God." Just. Oh. My. God.
And if you're not into reading boring stuff-here's some highlights failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people (e.g. by a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people)
# lack of social or emotional reciprocity
and maybe this sounds like someone you know encompassing preoccupation with one or more stereotyped and restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus

I'm just really sure that this is me. I know it's all bloody hip now to have Asperger's but when it was hip to be bi-polar I spent a great deal of time acting like I had no idea what such a tendency might be. I'm not trying to be hip and in with the cool dysfunctionals here-I think this is me. Course, there's no treatment-other than learned behavior. I'm getting better. I feel hap-PY! I FEEL HAPPY!!
No you don't. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
