| So, I need some advice on this front. I used to take Adderall to help with my focus issues (I have ADD on top of Aspergers). The problem is that it killed my normally cheerful personality. That, combined with other non-medicine related issue (I was a stupid ass when it came to my schoolwork) led my ... |

| I have a problem with 'following through' on things. In other words, just getting things done. I also have trouble with consistency. I recently thought that I finally solved my problem with chores. Now I'm backsliding into my old habits. This happened a lot in school, and seems to be a general theme... |

| I hope this is the right forum. Anyway, I'm a twenty-year old Aspie who's had a really rocky road. School was bad, I decided to hold off on college to get a job, and it took me nearly two years to get one through the local Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Although to be fair, that extra year w... |

| Sure, I'll be there. I think I'll wear that shirt that says "Autism speaks can go away. I have autism, I can speak for myself." Do they still make that shirt? If people question that I really have autism, I'll produce the papers that declare my diagnosis. We need to make people aware that there's mo... |

| Every year in school is heck for me for several reasons. One of my main and most recurring problems though, is "remembering to remember." In other words, thanks to my ADD, I'm very forgetful. I've thought up a dozen and one ways to remember things, especially schoolwork, but then I bump into another... |

| Hey, I have ADD and Aspergers. I need some tips on remembering things, such as writing in my planner and remembering to check it. Remembering to remember seems to be my problem summed up nicely. Any tips? |

| I absolutely hate Xaldin! He's the boss for the second visit to Beast's Castle BTW. I already tried some FAQs and they DID NOT help! Could someone who also plays KHII help me out here? Xaldin is the first boss I've truly had trouble with in this game. |

| The first moment that you became self-aware? That you actually began to exist? I certainly can remember. It was like one moment I wasn't there, then I was. Its a very weird memory and I don't like thinking about it very much. But I was wondering if anyone else has a similar memory. |

| I LOVE fanfiction! Its one of my obsessions! I've written a couple and attempt to update frequently (when I'm not grounded) and I've read plenty as well (mostly in the Megaman fandom, nothing above T-rated). I plan on continuing to write and read fanfiction alongside filling off the serial numbers o... |

Naruto (I didn't see it up there so it might be a repeat)
Rockman.exe (The dub is called Megaman NT Warrior)
Powerpuff Girls Z (Japanese Powerpuff Girls. 'Nuff said) |

| Its been a while since I last posted but the walk is long over. And thanks to a combination of forgetfullness and just plain intimidation of pulling a protest (I've always been more of a follower than a leader) I didn't do anything about the walk. My special ed teacher said that the ASB was just try... |

I want to walk up to the office and express how offended I am that they would allow these kinds of things to be advertised in our school. And if they have no choice in... |
