Well regardless I don't see how that applies to this topic, as that poster is refusing invasive medical intervention

Well, I have Asperger's, richardbenson, and have limited ability to care about people, especially people I have never interacted with in any way, so I don't really care either way. Erm, I meant to say, "I don't judge people."

The wikipedia article describing the related Ganser Syndrome is also fascinating.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganser_syndrome
Thanks! That's somewhat how I tried to depict it but didn't get it right. I like the way it sounds. Sounds like a fictional breed of dog.
It's supposed to be.
I thought the name was hilarious when I thought it up. I thought of calling myself scumsuckling instead, because I like the way suckling sounds. It sounds dirty.

How do you know? Did you test her DNA yourself? Or at least talk with her parents? I don't care how out there somebody's story is, it may be lies, but who can say? Weird stuff like that really does happen to people, even if it's not common.

Yeah I wonder sometimes about God's plans. I really don't understand why I even exist. I feel so useless to the world. Yet God has let me live over and over when technically I should have died. My twin brother was stillborn, yet I survived though I was deprived of oxygen too. At 6 months old I almost died because I was loosing lots of weight. At 9 months old I had a head injury that should have killed me. In my adult years I have had two other severe head injuries, almost died on operating table in what was suppose to be a simple wrist operation, been struck by lightning twice, barely missed getting hit by a boulder rolling down onto the road. I even survived a fall that broke both legs and barely missed hitting my head on a boulder as I fell down. I was in shock but still managed to crawl to the car as I was out in the wilderness and then drove myself to nearest emergency clinic. I had 95.0 temp when I got there..I was in shock and did this. Now you tell me why I am still alive? There's not enough dumb luck in the whole world to cover all that.

WHOLLY CRAP!! I can't imagine!
Now I'm nervous... It's snowing like crazy outside, I have to drive that bendy road to work in the morning....
Oh, well...Ive done it many times before.
If its any consolation I broke my legs while at the lake after a morning of trout not in the snow. The lake is surrounded by large boulders and as I was walking back towards the car I stepped on a very large boulder and the darn thing flipped with me on it. My tackle box saved me from getting a head injury.
Just be cautious in the snow, drive slow. It also helps to know your car's recommended tire pressure and keep the tires properly inflated. You can usually find a sticker in either th glove box or door jam that tells the specific tire pressure for your car. I now carry a snow shovel and ice melt in the car during winter just in case of getting stuck.
So wich is it ticker? did a boulder fall off somewhere almost landing on your car, or did you step on a
boulder and fall that way?

I can't force myself to leave the States. But if I moved to Germany or France I would probably have instant friends just because my greatgreatgrandfather is so famous there and worshiped and since I have his last name well they probably wouldn't leave me alone. (until they discovered I didn't inherit his talent)
and when someone asks her this: What's the name of your greatgreatgrandfather?
She has this to say:
Sorry I won't give that out. The name is super rare. Everywhere I have lived there is only one listing for my surname in the phone book. Since people on here know where I live so if I give the name it could cause me trouble.

PTSD is a serious disorder and not something that can be armchair diagnosed.
I was diagnosed with PTSD recently. But it doesn't have anything to do with having Aspergers. I survived a murder attempt via near drowning where I was left unconscious on the bottom of pool, have been struck by lightning twice and had a gun pointed in my face. A neurologist is the one told me I have PTSD. It's not something I considered on my own. Someone mentioned high cortisol levels. I tested 500 times normal on noreprinephrine and have had resting heartrate at 120. Catecholamines were also very high, but I forget the exact number. Someone with PTSD is going to have unusual stress responses in their body such as that.
heres some more BS, and shes a man hater

In case anyone cares to hear my continuing story, Patrick didn't show up at church so that was a relief. I tried to tell one of the church elders and she just thought it was funny. Dammit no one takes me seriously that he is stalking me.
Well guess what he shows up today at work with a new haircut. Remember how I mentioned his bad hair? And how I suspect he is backtracking me on the work computer reading what I post here. Not only is it a new haircut, but he had his hair cut like mine. Or like mine was as I also got my haircut this weekend with a a new style. He told me he was going to try to make it back to attending the church services and that maybe we could still sit together. Yeah right sicko! I told him I was thinking of leaving the church and he got his expression on his face like the Earth fell out from under him. Good Lord this kid is a sicko following after a dyke and getting his hair cut like one. I mean there are at least 50 young, skinny, cute straight girls at work and he decides to chase after me. I feel like I got a damn groupie.

I suspect a lot of the members on this forum suffer from Munchausen Syndrome and have also been the victims of Munchausen Syndrome by proxy.
----------------------
i count agree more
I disagree. The difficulties with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome don't necessarily mean you are at high risk for Munchausen.

I really don't like what Richard is doing to her. How does he know she is lying?
So she has had a lot of bad luck but there is no proof she is actually lying. You can live after getting struck by lightening, I'm sure you can still drive a car with broken legs depending on how they are broken. I broke my arm last June and I still used it but it was very limited. I couldn't move it much and it hurt like hell and I could not lift up heavy stuff so I was released from work and had to bring in a doctor's note when my arm was better. I only had a broken joint so no cast was needed. I still drove with it 5 hours home when I fell on it at a gas station in Washington. I had my hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and my other hand on top and whenever I had to turn, I had to use one one hand on top and my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel.
And speaking of boulders, you can witness one falling but it be very rare, ever seen signs on the road that say Watch for rocks and there are also signs that show a picture of a falling rock.
You can find dead bodies too. I know other people have and they call 911. Only dead body I have seen is my great aunt's at a memorial service when I was 11.
And you can live with lot of health problems. There is a another WP member on here who has lot of health problems too and he is only 16. I can remember him making a list of problems he has somewhere when someone asked "what else do you have?" I tried to find the post and the thread but couldn't find it. I also wonder if Richard thinks he is lying too. I can ask him if I can find the list and he can say if he is lying to or not.
Interesting. She might not be talking about the same bolder where she broke her legs. The rest I couldn't possibly comment further.
These two conditions that are related to Munchausen:

you know what i really dont care about caring about others peoples diagnosis, but the stuff she sais is obvious bs. and its apparent to me she sais those things to get attention
want more?
and calico you need to mind your own business. do you belive her?
apparently you do. are you are still butthurt that i didnt apologize for calling your p**** fake. am i right? and i thought you enjoyed dramas/fights between other members online, isnt that what you said?
and im not saying people cant live with health problems. but having 16 different ilnesses one that kills in 10 years, being struck by lightning twice, being attacked by a service dog, being a victim of a murder plot, having a boulder fall onto the road and crawling to your car for half a mile and then driving your self to the hospital after breaking your legs, falling on a boulder, 4 head injurys, being intersexed oh i can go on.
i mean at some time you have to call bs

As for the Sixth Sense movie, I always thought her stepmother was trying to kill her, not keep her sick.
That was the stepmother? I thought it was her real mother?
How did you know she was the stepmother, not her real mother?
The father even says to her, "You were keeping her sick."
I'm not actually sure, it's been a long time since I've watched the movie. It was my first impression. She, whether the mom or stepmom, didn't look too sad at the girl's funeral.
