Hallo... not trying to intrude.

Hnn. Before anyone gets confused or annoyed, no. I do not have Aspergers. I've just read a great deal on the subject, and realized that if there is a single group of people more suited to help explain dealing with people in a format that I can understand, I have not yet made contact with that group. And I know myself-- I will not be able to resist commenting on something eventually, no matter how irrelevant my response may be; and I didn't want to upset anyone by suddenly appearing out of thin air, without any prior warning. So. This is your prior warning. (Haaaah... I actually already lurk-spoke, last night, in the chats, but there were a limited number of people there to witness it so... that'll be okay.)

I will attempt to be brief, but I am a very poor hand at 'brief', and tend to drift more in the direction of 'horribly long-winded and verbose'. Feel free to skim whatever seems to be irrelevant.

I am a biological female, age sixteen (and approximately 51 weeks; shifting to seventeen next Monday... I wish this was more specific, but the maths are not my strong suit), entering junior year in high school on the following day, that being a Tuesday, which is an uncomfortable day to start a school year session on, I think. That was a horrible run-on sentence, but as much as I appreciate grammar, I do tend toward run-ons... hnn. In other news, and on the subject of the calendar, the American National Guard slogan 'One weekend a month, two weeks a year', which formerly indicated the required amount of time served for a Guardsman to receive benefits, is no longer in use as a result of the extended service times required by The War. So if you're considering joining the Guard, you might just as well enlist in the U.S. Army proper, which is better funded, and thus receives better equipment and more stringent training, making them better prepared for overseas combat. Just so you know. ...but I digress.

Hnn... I can't concentrate on introductions at the moment. My mother was just admitted to the ER with severe chest pains. I'm scattering in place. I will perhaps continue this later in a more coherent and relevant manner. Or perhaps I'll just consider myself introduced. Hnn. Yes. We'll do that.

Welcome to WP!

Welcome to WP

:yes I did skim

Hi Chimera

Why do I get the feeling you may actually belong here?

::: Waiting for your next post! :::






Oh! And I hope your Mother is ok!

You certainly "sound" like you are an aspie.Welcome,I think you will fit in just fine

Welcome on this momentous day. I think you'll be well suited to this environment.

Welcome to WrongPlanet

Hello and welcome. That was a great introduction and I hope your mom is okay.

Meh, not that interesting

~ Flagg the Grumpy and Bored MD

As a matter of curiosity, Flagg, is your first name Randall, and are you in any way a harbinger of doom and/or the Antichrist?

Krex/Gitchel, yes I do seem to mirror some of the qualities and traits typically associated with Aspergers, but I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few years ago, and I assume that they would have caught on, even if they were hospital staff and I was an uninsured, paranoid, close-mouthed wreck that they didn't want to deal with. And I'm sorry for speaking to both of you in the same paragraph, but your remarks were similar enough in subject matter that responding to you both would have been tedious and 'Meh, not that interesting'. Does anyone actually say 'meh'? I usually go with 'Eeh', or sometimes 'Ehh'.

Also, thank you Gitchel/BlessedMom for your concern. She seems fine. They decided that they had no idea what was wrong with her, and sent her home. Something about later tests. An echocardiogram, I believe, with an adjoined stress test, is to be scheduled. Evidently her physician thinks it was the precursor to a heart attack, while the cardiologist on hand thinks it was something to do with her lungs. Perhaps a conclusive decision will eventually be made, and I can add it to my history of familial illness.

No, just the 30th most prolific poster on WP.

~Flagg the Grumpy MD with too much free time. (I blame the fact season 4 has yet to start)

This is a significant achievement, I assume? I haven't had the time to crosscheck the number of registered members to the number of actual posters... actually I should be asleep right now. Hnn. I'll be going in just a minute. In a brief aside, I approve of your House-themed... huhm... everything.

Welcome,

AS is often missed, one reason is it is not something treatable, hence no billable hours.

I will join the experts that think you belong here.
