The Dino-Aspie Cafe (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)
I guess I asked the wrong people or asked in the wrong forum.
Since we all post song lyrics...
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny.
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave,
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I’ve been kissed by a rose
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I’ve been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny, yeah
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grave
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave

Personaly I saw exactly why you started a second thread. I saw the same problem in here you did. I thought that maybe just maybe your second place might be an answer. I even commented a while back that there was no reason we couldn't exchange muffin recipes.
However let me give you a tip about such things. Never say it's "My" thread or anything close. You might have gave birth to it , but let it grow on its own, go with the flow, don't police it. It's like how much of Alex do you see around here? Not much. There is a reason for it. If he had used "my" Wp it would have gone down in flames. I dunno he might be in here now with an alt, I don't know and I don't care. Have fun with it. Some threads work and some don't, it's not a personal insult. People get political, not talking voting stuff, but you'll see it all over this site in it's many forms. One of the reasons I stopped getting into guilds in the online gaming world, some how always ended up being an officer in the things. I had to spend all my time smoothing out the ruffles between the members. That wasn't the reason I wanted to game at all, I was in it for the fun, it was healthy for me to have a good time. I have beaten myself up worse then any bully on the street could ever do. I'm in it for the fun now, maybe you see why a little. Flame wars aren't fun and I'm trying to be an officer again.
mmm well if people here stop flaming me i guess we can call a truce.

True asked: Those who have been diagnosed:
Who diagnosed you? Like what type of doctor?
Me, with a test and hard look at my life
Where?
here, there and everywhere
When?
check my join date on my profile, then subtract a few days, I don't do numbers
How did it affect your life?
huge gulp of fresh air
Did you know about Asperger's before?
no, saw a very special (to me) Autistic talk (write) about what she feels and her world on CNN and got curious. Some of what she wrote struck a chord with me. I just wasn't exactly like her and wondered if there were degrees of it. I owe Amanda, big time.
Did you seek out the diagnosis?
Which ones? Do you mean the ones they changed their minds on? Might mess with the money I get from a formal dx of BiPolar, not all of it, I get some they can't take away no matter how badly I manage to mess up my life. So I'm probably not going to get one. I call the shots with the doc's, piece of paper on the wall just means they have an emergancy piece of toilet paper, to me. I think they should use it that way, more often. You've not been in the system very long?

Call it anything you like. I think we had a few terms around here that would be pretty good. If you don't like em, just wait a sec things roll along pretty well here, something else will show up. They can only flame you if you flame back

feelings get hurt, mistakes are made and nothing a good cup of coffee and a little soul searching and kind words can't fix. There is always someone someplace in the world that won't like you, it happens, it's the way it is. here we're human and aspie, we miss things sometimes, don't see things that are pretty plain to others sometimes, but yeah the hard truth is, someone someplace isn't going to like me. That's ok too, I probably shoot better then they do

Who diagnosed you? Like what type of doctor?
Speech and Language, and psychologist. Part of the Adult Autism Team
Where?
Scotland
When?
September 2006
How did it affect your life?
One meltdown too many led me to retreat from everything. Now I've been accepted for post grad study. I feel more accepting of myself now, although ths can ebb and flow on a daily basis. Sometimes I can see how work, relationships etc. may not be beyond me. Partly because I have read of others experiences, from books and WP.
Did you know about Asperger's before?
Yes, since around 2002, but didn't seek it out till 2005. I'd read psychology books since I was a teenager , late 1970's, hoping I'd find a way to relate to life.
Did you seek out the diagnosis?
Yes. Felt I had no choice at that stage.

yeah, maybe you explain all that to CC.
Update:
I've been lurking and been somewhat intimidated by the brilliance and wit of this thread. But hell, I have some brilliance and wit occasionally myself, so what the hell.
Thanks Merle for the mondegreens. I always read them excitedly, and then am disappointed that nobody hears what I hear. But since I mishear pretty much everything, that should not surprise me. Elton John is my number one singer for being incomprehensible. Did you get those from Jon Carroll? He's the s**t.
Postpaleo: Whatever you're doing is working. Your posts are more comprehensible than ever.
Lau: WTF is up with the avatar? I was expecting great things after the phoenix, but can make neither heads nor tails of the latest...
Muffin recipes? I've got a great oatmeal bar recipe that'll keep you going all morning. Are we not allowed to post muffin recipes here? That's a rule I'd gladly break, for the greater good
Postperson, can we be friends?
If we have made it into our fifth decade, undiagnosed for most of them, I would be surprised if any of us did not have at least a modicum of evil inside of us. My evil tends to come out at unsuspecting NT's when they are least expecting it and are thereby completely flummoxed. Or it is reserved for dictators like GW Bush.
In fact, I would argue that this war we have had to fight with the world and with evil has led us to the place where we are today - a place of peaceful coexistence with part of the world and a place of virulent hatred towards another part.
What eyebrows?
Thanks Mescalero!
Unfortunately that is where I had been. There is no "delete" avatar/picture. I can upload something else, but there is no "delete" link.
Likewise for the account, I see no "delete" or "leave Wrong Planet" or anything else.
i deleted all in and out mail but can't find places to delete the rest.


I don't post there, because by your implied definitions I too must be a "post whore". I like to ramble, sometimes make inane comments, play games, and I've even been known to have posting contests with people for a laugh.
Besides, I thought calling shadexiii a "dick" on another thread for disagreeing with you on "post whores", was offensive (though I see you've edited that out now).
So I guess I know I wouldn't be welcome on your thread.
fair enough, i do lean towards the 'brevity is the soul of wit' thing myself and a lot of people here are long winded.
i haven't edited my post, i still think shadexii is a dick. I haven't checked the thread lately so i don't know how it was edited, a mod perhaps. anyway b***h about me as much as you want! as mistakenly as you want! you obviously enjoy it. there's nothing like a common enemy for group bonding! enjoy!
You set the rules and you asked why we came and didn't post. Don't come here whining at the answers. If you don't want to know, don't ask. If you want to set rules like that, suck it up and deal with the consequences. That's what you wanted, that's what you got and you should be happy now. So go be happy.
I have nothing to say but whine
You are now dead to me.

Then there are those that lurk with other thoughts in mind, looking for the weak, the ones that attract them for reasons other then what the spot is all about anyway. Sex, power, control, you name the bad things and that's what some of them are there for. But they have to appear to do the bad things and we can spot them. They don't last long if they pop into my rifle scope, I shoot them on sight. I love my family, well as best as my feelings allow, highly protective of those that care for me or i them, or a stranger that is just being preyed upon. This place is becoming more family to me, all the the time.
It's not all peaches'n'cream in here, we;ll have our rough times, but hopefully we can get through them. We're human and we're for the most part aspies, that in itself is a set up for some misunderstanding. You can sit on the bully pulpit all day long and preach. I think it's a lot better to do it. I mean what they going to do to you if you screw it up? Turn you into an Aspie?

Sit on the Bully Pulpit all day long? Hell, Postie, some of us have to work and move and read about a million pages just to keep up with all the Power, Control, Sex, Drugs and ROCK AND ROLL!! !
Merle
Yeah! Merle's back!
