Very close to home. Funny and sometimes true.


Curious. Are you Autistic on any level?

Asperger's Syndrome. Didn't mention it earlier, it would've seemed as if I was making excuses.

Asperger's is higher functioning as I understand it. I've also heard it can cause problems learning interaction skills, not saying you don't have them, but it is something that can affect your character.

Any particular field of specialisation?

From what I understand, Aspergers can make it difficult for a person to understand social cues. Ie, they would appear to be a geek.

Aspberger's is a form of autism, which makes it difficult to understand some subtle social complexes, such as social cues. Yeah.

I have it btw, and it's weird. It makes you tune out certain things entirely, and zero in like a smartbomb on other things.

It's like ADD and selective OCD rolled into one.

Yup, an online friend of mine has it. Great guy, actually. Oh, and he's a diaperfur, with mild homosexual tendencies =P

I'm specialised in social interaction and in autism. Meaning I study people the way some aspergers study trains, or mathematical equasions, or pi, or pie.

I'm currently employed in that field as well, as an Autism 'expert' at an autism counselling agency.
