| "Front side bus" is part of the architecture of computers. It is partially what allows data to move between various systems. Basically, I was saying that my memory is really good, once something gets in there. But the path to getting there is impaired. I understand now. Thank you for clarifying tha... |

One is an informal nickname for a small parrot native to Australia, one is the smallest cockatoo endemic to Australia, and the other is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae.

| "I should like to go for a walk" Does that mean that you want to go for a walk or that you ought to want to do it but you really don't? For me, all parts of the speech depend on the context. As long as the meaning is clear, I do not care. The problem is that modern-day people don't seem to have muc... |

| My migraines range from one-half or the whole of the cranium, typically having an intense pressure behind both eyes, coupled with nausea. They usually do not leave until I go to sleep because they are spurred on by sensory sensitivity of the eyes, ears, and other. There are exceptions. |

| I'm not sure from what I've been seeing that there's one specific test to dx an adult? I think (or maybe I hope?) that it involves going over one's history and talking to family members if possible. Maybe someone who has been dx'd as an adult can shed some light on it... I'd be grateful for the ins... |

| Yes, I am plagued by migraines frequently, daily, in fact. They effect your ability to think and reason, among all the things you have described. You see an aura around things, half your cranium feels like it's imploding in on itself. I do notice my symptoms intensifying during migraines. Some peopl... |

| My capacity is great. It's my front side bus that is impaired. I don't know what that second sentence means. I have issues with short term memory. I am known to ask the same question every 5 minutes and for some reason I never remember the answer or that I have already asked it. However, once somet... |

| I used to, but medication is a very complicated thing for me. I don't react well to most of them, and some of them have such negative side-effects with my other issues that I just can't take them. Medication always affects me differently than it does most people. Becoming resistent to the meds, thus... |

| No one around me will recognize it, but my memory, long-term, short-term, episodic, semantic, declarative, procedural memory, is completely lacking. I can't remember anything, barely at all, not much of childhood, nothing beyond fragments of what I read and learn, and my brain processes seem bloated... |

| Anti-social personality disorder is not the same as sociopathy or psychopathy; they're distinct from each other. Recent medical books lump the three in together, sometimes with sociopathy or psychopathy as sub-categories, which are both, I believe, synonymous terms for one another, just stemming fro... |

I live with the family, the parents and siblings, and while it isn't great, it works for now as I don't have the means to get a place of my own (I dream of that). While I receive supplemented income, I am working toward writing fiction. I am... |

| That is quite vague of them to say that without elaborating further on what they mean. I can interpret both sentences a number of ways. I have no clue. I'd rather not make conjecture without knowing what the big picture is, which was left vague by the people that said those phrases. Objectively, lif... |
