| I pace around a lot and stew on things. I have to force myself to stay in my room and listen to music until I calm down. |

| I'm not understanding why you need it decoded. The first seems pretty strait forward. The 2nd, sounds like you've figured it out. Looks to me like the issue is not decoding what she's saying, but figuring out how to respond. Yeah, that's what I meant. Poor choice of words. I just gave examples, but... |

| My "problem" is that I have this compulsion of correcting mistakes in what Mom says. That's when she usually says it. I've found that she doesn't like being corrected, even when she needs to be. She probably doesn't want her irrationality to be revealed. |

| I can't eat the food they serve most of the time, so I go there to try to interact (although I end up reading or listening to music). |

| I remember running into my first random shiny. It didn't happen until Diamond. That shiny little Budew nearly gave me a heart attack because I wasn't really paying attention to what I was battling while leveling up my Pokemon. Then I ran into a shiny Bidoof. Recently I caught a shiny Kricketune. I'm... |

| Uniracers for the SNES. A crazy little racing game where you race as unicycles, and do tricks to gain speed. My brother and I loved playing against each other with this, and even named a couple of the unicycles after ourselves. |

| I love my mom. She's the only one in my extended family who seems to even try to understand me. But even she says things that are confusing. For example: "Were you ignoring me?" She usually asks me this when I fail to hear her call for me, either because I was listening to music through my earphones... |

1) There would be no gum popping, or ice crunching.
2) No one would be chastised by the condition of their house. Where they lay their reading material is their business alone!
3) No one would get angry for you not following directions that were not given.
4) There. Would. Be. No. MTV. |

Yeah, but parents can tell when something's different with their child. Mom still insists it's AS.
Anyway, I bought Women from Another Planet? and Congratulations! It's Asperger Syndrome this week. So far both books are enlightening, even if I don't have AS. |

| Women manifest aspergers differently, have you hear of Heather Kuzmich who was on America's next top model? I read the Wikipedia article on her not long ago, and Mom keeps track on that show. Yeah, Aspergers with ADHD, currently studying video game design (like me). That's when I first noticed that... |

| I've been interested in Aspergers ever since I heard about it from one of my doctors a few years ago. I've been treated as someone with ADD/ADHD ever since I was seven. But what I don't get is how someone that suddenly went silent for 1 1/2 years could be labelled as such. Plus I was tested for auti... |
