| Yo, Dr. Phil. You ever hear of this new thing called outpatient therapy ? Because I'm pretty sure it's not a very new idea...you know, since it's been around for over a decade . Really, this man is one of the biggest idiots I've seen. This is pure attention-grabbing grandstanding. Most actual psycho... |

| Can I ask what the trauma was? Was it an injury? Mental trauma. My mom's parenting style works fairly well with Asperger's, since she treats children like humans. My 'dad's'...well, you know that school of thought that says you should hit kids as discipline? Apparently that was what he was aiming f... |

| Well, let's look at this scientifically. (Kind of. :p) We can assume that, in the Star Wars universe, 'laser' is common slang for 'plasma', like 'hacker' for 'cracker' IRL. Why? Because if laser guns and lightsabers used real lasers, they would never have an end, and would burn holes into things wit... |

| ZOMG, YES! I love PR! My absolute favorite season has to be Dino Thunder. There was just so much untapped potential in the Dino Rangers' personalities and plotlines. Next favorite is RPM, of course, because...well, it's RPM. :D Then Lightspeed, since I like the whole Earth-based Rangers thing, and t... |

| I'm not suicidal or depressed. When I was little I had no problems. But I had a severe trauma a few years ago. While I've healed from that, it unlocked something in my brain. At totally random times (like, say, when I'm cooking or writing), I'll suddenly start pressing my nails into my wrists or pre... |

| Try watching TV. No, seriously. Pick a really cheesy show with really over-dramatic acting so you can understand them. Then watch and enjoy. Neurologically, your brain can't tell that you're not hanging out with real people, so it'll provide the unconscious reinforcement you need. Also, hanging out ... |

Yep.
Then I got traumatized and wound up with C-PTSD.
I now consider the world a minefield with camouflaged bear traps sitting atop it. Doesn't mean I don't want to help, but I'm much more realistic and careful about what I can do. |

But then again, it's MUSIC. So it's automatically awesome.  |

| You can't be serious. Writing is so biased and subjective. There are no absolutes, and it makes me go crazy. In mathematics, everything just makes sense; it's the only perfect universal truth. In writing, there are rules--LOTS of rules. Detailed rules. Rules for every last thing. What defines you a... |

I've literally been in situations where I said almost exactly the same kind of thing the 'normal' kid in... |
