And then, Bluto, while I didn't suggest that, I just remarked yesterday that a fuzzy bunny didn't seem much like you, over on your "walking centipede" thread.
And Claudia, Happy Anniversary! May I suggest that you found yourself at home because you're an undiagnosed Aspie, or have a lot of the traits without quite enough? It often runs in families. How is your son doing? I've been a member more than a year, but wasn't hanging out here much in chunks of the time, so must have missed your first worried posts and threads.
I could be a very mild Aspie. I experienced social anxiety as a teen and I found my peers boring when I was in high school. I also have my special interests. If I was an Aspie then it would be an ability rather than a disability because being who I am favored me, instead it causes problems to diagnosed Aspies. It could be the right side of the medal, who knows... however, it's true, I feel at home with you. My son is doing well and I have to thank you for this. I managed to understand a lot about autism on WP, for example about auditory processing. I'm sure my son has it and when I understood what it was I opened many doors to be successful in his therapy. His receptive language skills increased dramatically and he's no more echoic. He's beginning to answer questions even if his pronuciation is poor. We are working a lot togheter and he is motivated, he understands I'm helping him to comunicate.
