| I think the final episode of Daria (not the final movie) verifies she was diagnosed with AS when she was 6 years old and her parents never told her. |

| Thanks for the advice guys, anyone else here from Oz? and also have been told the only complete genocide in history happened in Tasmania. (the Aboriginal people were completely wiped off the island) Yes, I've heard that, very sad, though I guess you can't really blame that current inhabitants, sinc... |

| I think a lot of people realise their mortality and the futility of it all, AS or not. I used to obsess over life extension topics in school but nobody else could understand, I even had a plan worked out before I went into the real world and realised one doesn't simply dedicate themself to something... |

I also am odd socially but not cripplingly so, I'll just have a hard time when I graduate and look for full time work. Overall I can still walk a... |

| I have no consistent sleeping time but it gets a better routine if I'm doing exercise regulary, but once I miss a day I stop for weeks/months. I can't just "go to bed" I have to wait until I'm too tired to be awake, and then burn my brain out thinking in bed for a few hours. |

| Awhile ago I was drunk and didn't know what to say so said "how's the weather?" and my friends thought I was joking and thought it was hilarious. A few times recently when I've been with somebody and run out of things to say I jokingly say "sooo.. how's the weather?" to try and make them laugh. It's... |

| Tasmania is probably fine (my dads from there) though I've heard it's very conservative and behind. i.e. a lot of bullying in schools, the worst prison in Australia, I've heard being homosexual was illegal there until recently, and also have been told the only complete genocide in history happened i... |

| 1) warm weather Very warm, some people have claimed a lot more then they expected and more then they can handle. I expect as you get further North the humidity gets heavier as well.

As a kid (I'm not exactly sure how young, even maybe for a lot of my teens) my sisters and possibly people at school (I can't remember now) used to say I didn't have my own voice. I'd put on cartoon voices constantly. |
