Got Anything Random To Say

I don't know what you mean by that.
Why shouldn't you claim credit for it?
You did it, didn't you?

I used to have a boss named Ian but he moved to a different section. I found out through a work friend of mine who sits around there overheard, that one day, one of the women was complaining that I was hardly in at work and Ian stood up for me and said, "Steven gets more done in a day than most get done in a month!" Coming from Ian, that's a real compliment because he hardly says anything good about anyone. I like him.

When I showed him, my program working, he was so impressed, he said, "Do it again!"

It's because of my Aspergers that I can program like that. I can go months or years without using a certain language like C/C++ and I never forget how to do it. That's not normal. That's due to my AS. I always just thought I was smart but after being diagnosed, I know it's due to me having Asperger's Syndrome and I don't feel right claiming the credit for being able to do that because I know, if I didn't have AS, I wouldn't be able to. So I don't know whether I ... I don't know. It's hard to explain.

It's just because of my ASD that I can do that. Granted! I did it but there was a reason for why I'm able to do it.

Wow.
You've just made me blow a freaking gasket!
JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR ASD!???
YOUR FREAKING ASD PROBABLY CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR DEPRESSION AND MANY OTHER DIFFICULTIES IN YOUR LIFE TOO BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUALMS ABOUT CLAIMING THAT!!
GET A GRIP!
ASPERGERS IS PART OF YOU.
You are who you are.
Are you going to tell me that all the amazing things I can do are unimportant because I have autism?
Are you really going to say that to me?
Then why are you saying it to yourself?

And now you probably won't want want to speak to me.
Should have said wheelbarrow.

HOW DARE YOU INVALDATE YOURSELF LIKE THAT!!

That's all I'm saying

You're absolutely right.

I don't attribute my depression to my ASD but it's a fact that it's a well known co-morbid. I should.

As I said, I am me.

You just gave me a wake up call and helped fix something I've been pondering over since I was diagnosed. Something that has disturbed me for sometime.

I didn't say unimportant. I was just unsure whether I could claim fame to them or not.

Thank you Raleigh. You've opened my eyes.


No, don't say wheelbarrow. I prefer a straight shooter. I can handle it!

Thank you I appreciate your honesty and common sense.

But I can't deny what I've been thinking for a long time now. I spoke the truth. It had nothing to do with anyone else. It was purely my thoughts about myself and my abilities and I had every right to think them. I had no choice but to think them.

I don't know anyone else who's gone through this. I have no sounding board in life.

It's only natural to wonder about such things.

Please don't invalidate my thoughts and turn them into a personal thing. This wasn't about you.

Please don't make me feel guilty for wondering about, what's just natural to wonder about.

I have every right to feel the way I feel and to wonder about such things. It's only natural I'm going to wonder about this.

It had NOTHING to do with you!

You have no right! to make me feel bad. To make me feel worse than I already do. Thank you!

I watched the slowest, blandest TV episode ever earlier today.

What was it?

(The second one down, not the minute-long one at the top. It's just over an hour long and it's in Russian.)

I see what you mean. Look up 'Just For Laughs'

A quick recap of it: Russian version of "America's Next Top Model". The top 15 models arrive in Paris and move into an apartment which is infested with cockroaches and rats and most of the furniture is broken (very glamourous, I know). The girls have a meeting with the judges (none of whom are Russian, what they say is dubbed in Russian) and a photo shoot on the Pont Alexandre III bridge. At the end the judges and the host, Irina Shayk, who is a famous supermodel in Russia, look at the girls' photos from the shoot and choose two girls (Anzhela and Natasha) to leave the competition. Lots of boring and unimportant stuff in between.

Do you think you have a corner on suffering?

When I was younger, I used to have a motorbike and I used to travel to a place down in the Southern Highlands especially to a place called Joadja.

It got it's name from Joe Hatcher. The guy that owned the property. But the Aboriginals called him Joadja!

It was an old kerosene shale mine and was abandoned in the late 1800's.

Strangely enough, the byproduct that they used to pour into the nearby river was petrol. What a waste.

This place had rows of little cottages, most of which were boarded up.

The place was said to be haunted.

I used to ride my bike down there (I love Berrima) at night and one night, I was walking through the grounds of Joadja and I saw a woman dressed in white, standing in a window in one of the cottages where the palings had fallen off the window.

It scared the crap out of me and I ran back to my bike. It toppled over and flooded and I couldn't start it. I'm standing there in the pitch black trying to get this bloody Honda VT250 to start. It eventually did but I never went back to Joadja ever again.

Since then, they've closed the place down for tourists.
