Then your mom confirmed it when she read the description of > Aspergers and told you all the things you did as a child. She read the ASD lunches post I sent (I sent it to her as well) and reminded me that my school lunch every day was a toasted bacon sandwich she had to make fresh every morning. :-) You have to be > very intelligent to have made it through life this far with no intervention. > Your mom was also a very smart cookie to have helped you get through this > far. My mom is a very very VERY social person. And a very sensitive and talky person who always made me talk about how I was feeling. I think that helped so much. She would just listen to me babble until I finally realized what it was that was bothering me or what I needed to do. I remember really confusing her once (looking back, I must have hurt her). I was VERY upset about something, almost hysterical, and she went to hug me and I screamed " DON'T TOUCH ME! " Try as I might to explain that if she touched me then it would make it worse, I knew she didn't understand. :-( We were talking about all this this morning and I said to her that I give her a LOT of credit, because if I had to raise without having a clue about why he acted the way he does I'd go utterly insane.

Can't tell you how much better that makes me feel. :-) Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 > I can't possibly be a 43. All you people -- am I a 43? > I don't know. I suppose it is possible. I was surprised that I scored a 28. I thought I was a pretty social person, but maybe that is compared to the rest of my family. Maybe I'm just dense? LOL. Oh well.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 > ACK!!! > I don't think I can be your friend anymore. > :-( > Penny But Seinfeld was just so DUMB! It was about NOTHING! And they were all so whiny and nitpicky and devious and stupid...my favorite Seinfeld character was the soup nazi -- I actually watched that episode! The soup nazi reminds me of me! :-) I like my stories to have a beginning, a plot, and an ending wrapped up in a little bow. This is why Law & Order shows and CSI are my favorites - and I HATE the ones that are unresolved at the end. Mostly though, I love stories where the bad guys win. The novels of Jim Thomson (After Dark My Sweet) and Highsmith (The Talented Mr Ripley) are my absolute favorites. Call me crazy. :-p Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
