Ahem, sorry.

The internet has been a godsend to me, personally. Without it, I would never have met my girlfriend, who I have happily been with for 10 years now and am currently at University with. She's from America, I'm from the UK, we met in a chatroom and now we live together. Happy ending.

Also, after dropping out of school at 14, I was at my lowest point. Without the internet, I would have been cut off completely. I would never have known that there were other people like me. It also allows me to communicate better and overcome my social anxieties in a controlled environment.

Admittedly, I have a slight addiction to being online... it can consume my days and overtake me sometimes. But I still believe that the 'net is the best thing to have happened to me and that it greatly improved my quality of life.


Ahh Tails, we meet again..now...Give me that chaos emerald or Sonic gets it.


Wow, there's no escape from Eggman even on an Aspie board 8O Sonic can run circles around you any day! :wink:

It's a possiblity. It also could reflect how a good deal of Japanese humor, is based on people behaving in an extremely emotional way that they would not be able to in real life.

I know that; I was making a joke. Characters tend to be based on archetypes and therefore the stereotypical 'aspie' isn't actually meant to be autistic at all... but still, it's fun to speculate :twisted:

Best way to communicate for Aspies topic

Just remember we are not always whom we seem to be. 8O I have warned my kids about this.

it's actually a good thing for me.

I live far away from civilization, so the internet keeps me connected to people and information.

I lived way out here without internet for over a year and was miserable.

So I'm very thankful for the internet.

That explains why, when I had online friends, virtually all of them lived in the middle of nowhere.

Push only hard enough to do what you can sustain, indefinitely. Otherwise you just run out of energy, and the end result is exhaustion. You should only do more than that when it is truly necessary, budget in rest time afterwards, and be aware that to do more in a shorter period of time means longer time needed to recover, which will probably mean you did less overall, even though you finished it earlier.


What you said is very wise. Heeding that advice could have saved me a lot of pain earlier in the year.
