| I would like to say thank you to both of you. It was indeed a horrible time at that other school, but I did last (but it was haaaaard!), and I'm now on the track with my education again, and completing it in just about 4 weeks from now. :D Seriously. It may seem like nothing to you, but when you nee... |

| Yeah... pff.. I should have expected that answer. No offence, but really, I'm feeling alot down, and people always thinks that I haven't tried, even though I feel like I've given every last bit of what's in me. I fight hard, and I fight all the way, always, never complaining cause I know better than... |

| I'm the happy owner of a wonderful HiFi-stereo consisting of a Marantz PM750DC and 2x Beovox 3702 as top and 2x Beovox S45 as bottom (primarily for bass), used in a stereo setup. That's an extemely good combination, in case anyone is searching for a good system :D Well... back to topic. However, I o... |

I felt that I really needed help with this one, and WrongPlanet tends to be a savior when it comes to these things, and who know... |

| I can't really vote anything but other for this one, cause my answer will be: I learn things linearly and they stay learned, but lose abilities during shutdowns, and stress often makes me less able to do things. Even then, what I can do today says nothing about tomorrow. You just never know, cause I... |

| I would say that it's okay, since Asperger's is an ASD. ASD stands for "Autism Spectrum Disoders". So in turn Asperger's is part of the autistic spectrum, and you may therefore present yourself as autistic if you like. I would say however, that it's wrong to say that you have Autism, since this is o... |

| The difficulty with non-verbal communication and socialising. I find this the most difficult aspect of having AS. It's very frustrating not knowing what to say, when to say it, who to say it to, how to say it. Everything has to be thought through, very little is natural and spontaneous, it's a bit ... |

It funny that this comes up now, as I'm having the same thing with both hands. At the same time, I feel a bit out of myself, I don't really know how to explain it. It's really weird, and it some things gets pretty hard to do!
I hope it goes away soon.  |

| The laughing thing sounds like you don't understand your emotions. I just know I did that a lot when I was younger. That actually sounds very true. I can relate closely to this statement. Is it something you just HAVE to do? - Yes, well, it's VERY hard to hold it completelly Is it something you fee... |

| Stress sounds about right. Another thing (that noone around me seems to have picked up) seems to be i lack motivation. I also care more about things going right now, rather than later. So the future is a bit of a disapointment. My guess would be that this lack of motivation is due to your feeling o... |

| If it helps, here's my comments: - I often get an urge to scream, run around, fall on the floor and rotate around, jump, say stupid things and laugh (I usually laugh at what I'm saying while doing this) and make ret*d facial expressions changing every 3 seconds. I *can* hold it, but it's often hard ... |

| Oh boy. That sounds very familiar to what I've been experiencing. Of course, I can't tell you for sure. In my case it was (and still is) due to stress. Believe me, and I know it's not easy(!), if you have something you really need to tell, and you know you need to tell it, yet you don't do it becaus... |

| Note to self: never stream things in Chrome unless you like 100% CPU usage... I only get to 100% CPU usage when I have 10+ tabs open in Chrome. I might have to switch back to Firefox because of it. Oh my... I'm using Firefox, and I'm sometimes having 60+ tabs open (Using multiple windows of course)... |
