| Welcome osman, We will convert Godwit to something, if we can remember to get around to it. Those medical wackos might think they created it, but we own it, and you are welcome. No papers needed, and useless anyway, as it is nothing that can be treated. While I would run from your music, I support ... |

| When very young, I used to be fascinated by the windshield wipers of real cars and of the wheels of my toy cars. These days I can listen to a long piece of music just to hear one phrase in it that I particularily love - and then this one phrase will play in my mind for the whole day. |

| None. Why would one actually want to be ill? Having only recently joined, I haven't followed the discussion on whether or not Asperger should be considered an illness or just a variation of the mind (like an internal, different skin colour). Whatever the experts conclude (and assuming that I have it... |

| Thanks Remnant. My situation is doubly frustrating because school was so easy (I never did my homework, skipped classes quite a bit and still did really well) and university was actually interesting so I did go there and did well with minimal effort. Now even when I try to put effort I see no result... |

| Now, on to a subject which is far more comforting to me than my non-existent social life: Music. That other site sounds quite awful. This place seems to be well behaved - the only problem so far is a bit of spam by PM! Yes, yes, yes to Tallis. My top 10: I'm surprised to see no O sacrum convivium o... |

| Learning and recall are based on mental states. Do you have the habit of only learning something while in an agitated and threatened state, as if you were under the gun? Recall works best in the same mental state that you learned something. Also, I think that if a person is not used to learning whi... |

| Thank you for the welcomes. Ascan, siuan, it seems I might have misunderstood what I thought to be one of the key points of aspieness. I suppose I now should really talk the university's psychologist about Asperger's and if it would apply to me (aren't most self-diagnoses wrong anyway - say all doct... |

| Hello, A few years back I suffered a horrible bout of depression - so much so that I almost committed suicide and the act was on my mind all the time. Slowly I'm getting better and am semi-functioning at the moment: I can work the 2-3 days a week that I used to and I am again going to university. Un... |

| I can very much relate to this post. I was suicidically depressed a few years ago - though there is some progress out of that, intellectually I still am not the same as before. My university studies have come almost to a standstill because I just cannot concentrate and I can't use my mind as I once ... |
