Aaah the lights are dimming, the stage is set...............curtains rising......................HOW EXCITING!! ! WHO CAN IT BE???

And now, yes...with you, the great..........Millie!! !

Good evening, Millie. Or should I say Good Morning where you are? Knowing you, I think you'll read this when you get up in a couple hours. So...let's start!

What continent did you grow up in?
What age bracket do you belong to (teens, twenties, etc.)?
How long have you been with us here on WrongPlanet?

Where are you, millie? Cameras on, please...

Hiya Millie, we can see you now!! ( gosh that spotlight is bright!! )

When did you first discover you had a talent? I can see that obviously you are immensly gifted from your work (painting in the background) Do you always use such vibrant colours and why? Beautiful by the way!

(sits down looking all embarrassed!!)Ooh and when did you get diagnosed and how hard was it??

MILLIE??? Are you there???? You gone all shy? Ooh go on we are a very friendly bunch but don't have much patience and the attention is all over the place!! Need an icecream or a commercial break!!

Sue, you must have NLD instead of AS to be able to come up with such plays on words!

what did I miss????

She gets up extremely early, she'll probably see the thread in about an hour or two when she gets up. She's in a very different time zone from us. She'll probably be glad we watched her sleep

c'mon TellyVean, you couch ' tater, wake up!

Honourary NLD topic

I am diagnosed AS, and it is severe, but I like playing with words, even if it annoys many people (not you). I also speak in metaphors, as it helps me to verbalize my strong mental imagery. I can only communicate in writing, it seems. I suck socially.

Wordplay is associated with AS. I did not know about the NLD. Yet I am honoured (see topic title!).

But this is an interview for millie, not me!! !

DUHHHHH!! ! Sorry!! Woken up now!! !!

Ditto. I feel strong associations between experiences, so I often use one to mean the other and it's actually a metaphor.



I didn't know. I thought it was only NLD.



This is the Aspie version of smalltalk while eating popcorn and waiting for the show to begin
