| Never really had a meltdown before but experienced it for the first time over the weekend. I won't go into any great detail here, but after an extended argument with my partner, I literally lost it.

| People who ask Why, is that funny in your world? are the funniest of all in my world. If someone said that to me I would laugh in their face. They would think 'yeah, must be funny' and would have the answer. |

| Holy crap, he said autism was a fake disease by children who haven't been told to cut the act out. When I just saw it I was amazed that someone who's supposed to be a talk show host and know so much about things is actually so stupid in thinking that autistic kids can be fixed by having a father te... |

| So I'm working with a therapist to find out if I have AS. We were talking about how and what I played as a child. She asked me about what role I liked to play when I played house. I thought long and hard and I honestly don't remember ever playing house. Though I had a play kitchen and I remember pl... |

| Do you generally have to be super smart to be a Aspie? I am smart though. I was put through public school for 19 years. I could have done the work but they held me back.
