| i think you're allowed to do anything, but that doesn't stop people from expecting certain behaviors from you. the thing i keep trying to remember is that they don't feel like they have to act like you, so you really don't have to act like them. |

| the problem i have with your statement is that asperger's is already classified as a "syndrome," it's not labeled a "disorder" to begin with, so your comparison seems backwards to me. if you had said that you agree with BPD as being a syndrome like asperger's and not the other way around like you wo... |
