When i was being assesed for AS I got this form that says I meet the diagnostic criteria for AS, what does this actually mean, I assumed it means that i have been formally diagnosed?
I noticed I am a butterfly now, earlier I was an emu egg and I liked being an Emu egg. |

| I try to make names from the latin name for the animal, only trouble is those don't often lend themselves to making names from, but if It can be an anagram of the word or something i would use that, Erin is called Erin because the hedgehog family is Erinaceidae, some are just names that have come to... |

| Thank you all for your replies, I am encouraged by them to feel less embarrassed, after all as long as my friends accept it then really what should I care about what others think or say, I guess though that as a male its less acceptable to be seen needing to take cuddly toys with me.

| I like to draw using Microsoft paint, I mainly draw things that interest me, since I have gotten into lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) I have done a series of moth and butterfly artings which I hope some will enjoy. My most recent one is this Red Admiral butterfly. http://i255.photobucket.com/alb... |
