What else could you imagine this to be?

Yes, I'm new here.
I'm not entirely new though. I've spent many times coming to Wrong Planet and reading threads. I've even wanted to respond to the topics several times, but I've delayed signing up until just now.
I am starting out in a college. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in seventh grade. My teachers noticed how oddly I always acted, so I was evaluated with the result that I very clearly have Asperger's Syndrome. Because I was diagnosed with it, my sister, who is nine years younger than me, was also evaluated and consequently diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.
Feel free to respond to the subject line!

It's terribly strange, indeed (in the beginning, especialy) to realize that your personality can be described somewhere there, in psychiatric textbooks My mother and grandmother used to inform me that there was no child like me all over the world - as I see now, it didn't necessarily need to be true. I always perceived myself superior to other people surrounding me - more logical, smarter and so on, and according to me my weirdness (about which you can read here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt39373.html) was caused by the fact that some price must be paid for talents (in most cases, at least). My favourite Polish author is Ewa Bialolecka whose stories take place in Lengorchia - a land where children are sometimes born with magical abilities but their bodies (or sometimes minds) are deformed - among the characters there's an albino girl, a young man all covered with fur like an animal, his best friend is a deaf-mute, another powerful wizard whose name was famous in all Lengorchia because of his extraordinary ability to "weave illusions" was born with small, deformed, practically useless legs, another dude was severely autistic and so on. You know, a price is paid for a talent.

Welcome Helek_Aphel,

What else, it is well known that Farie folk switch babies, change them, hence changlings.

Check for pointed ears, magical powers. They use Glamor to turn oak leaves to gold coins, but they turn back to oak leaves at dawn, Glamor is short lived magic.

If you are lucky you might be an aspie, the magic lasts longer.

Either way you are welcome here.

It lasts a lifetime and it's a two-edged sword.....
