| I got my diagnosis in 2007/8, after being self-diagnosed for a while. The diagnosis made me able to understand myself better, and to understand why I did the things I did. I can also explain to other people the reason(s) that I do things. It showed me that I wasn't the only one and that there are lo... |

| From what you've wrote here it seems like you are on the autistic spectrum. Just remember that it's a spectrum, so it can be presented in a lot of different ways. BTW, being able to talk to someone if it's about something you're interested in is typical of AS. I understand your fears. I had the same... |

| Yugi/yami from yugioh is an aspie. I disagree. I don't see Yami or Yugi as an Aspie. What makes you think that? Don't look at them as yugi AND yami. But as one in the same. yugi as the over emotional half and yami as the logical side. Call a rose by any other name it still smells as sweet. Okay, bu... |

Oh good, I've been waiting for that! I looked it up a while ago and there was no news about it.
The news about the sixth book was released last month. It's called "The land of the Painted Caves". |
