| Annoyed, but not outraged. I think that aiming for better media representation of aspies (or whatever group) is a great thing to aim for, but we're not going to change perceptions by getting fighting mad. Just my two cents. I totally agree! And believe me, that's never been my approach! OK. Cool ^^... |

| I have a friend (literally, a friend, not me) who is a teenage with all the symptoms of manic depression. Here's the weird thing. He's fairly normal during the day, but becomes hypomanic (or full-blown manic) and depressed at night, switching between moods within minutes. Has anyone heard of someone... |

| Obsessive-compulsive disorder can sometimes manifest as intrusive, personally unacceptable thoughts (i.e., thoughts about killing people, sacreligious behaviors, etc.) Maybe something like that could be going on. |

| Why does it seem like aspies, nerds, otherkin, otakus, and other "weird" people seem to be disproportionally interested in anime? I haven't liked anime in the past, but after I saw Mushi-shi and some of Hayao Miyazaki's works, it started to grow on me. I'm currently watching some more mainstream ani... |

| I suck at routines. This. Also, I've trained myself to learn a lot about a person by looking in their eye. I can often tell at a glance who a person is. If they're a little aspie-ish, high IQ or low IQ, sensitive, antisocial, selfish, kind, a lot of that sort of thing. I once told a random person o... |

I attract dingbats of all shapes and sizes.
It's because I'm non-judgmental and "crazy" doesn't scare/intimidate me.
This. I tend to make friends with all kinds of eccentrics. |

I'll take that as a compliment. If I heard of me, I wouldn't have words either. My life has some bizarrities to it. |

| What does it actually mean to "know" a person? I mean, you can know a fact, but how is it possible to know a human being? The way I see it, people are almost infinitely complex. Historically, I haven't had many friends other than my family. When it comes to my parents and siblings, I sometimes know ... |
