| This topic intrigued me because I can't remember if I ever related to fictional characters as to feel actually sorry for them. What happens is at times I think people's judgement and feelings towards some characters are very inconsistent. Example given. Someone I know once told me she laughed out lo... |

| Hi, Rose. I don't think most people in this forum would really be able to give you a proper diagnosis, even if we all in here are very interested in helping you. You seem to have read enough about the ASD subject and you probably know why. If you don't trust the diagnosis, you should seek for the se... |

Signed in yesterday. Stopped to say "hello" because it looks like common practice and moderators will know I'm not a spam bot.
Thought I had posted this message yesterday but then couldn't find it, so I take it I must have messed up somehow. Anyway, excuse me if this is redundant.
Cheers. |
