Post a memory of me in the comments. It can be anything. Then post this to your journal and find out what people remember of you.

Once again, one of those articles that should have been written a long time ago.

Why did I know about Asperger's so long before so many people did?

Have I mentioned that my mother sees a lot of me in these descriptions? I see why she says that, but I'm so paralyzingly aware of emotion, particularly tension, that I'm sort of doing the same thing by excessive mind-awareness, not mind-blindness.

And what also strikes me about this article is that the first description is of a librarian. University librarian, of course, because the public library world still has its head in the sand. Outreach to people with ASDs? No problem, makes them feel good. Employment of people with ASDs? Ohhhhh no, they're not "normal."

This isn't even _my_ rant to be giving, but I'll give it anyway.

Or perhaps not: certainly I don't have the sorts of difficulties that fester, but I do have problems with certain brands of deadpan humour and sarcasm. And I know how that makes ME feel, so I can extrapolate to how folks who get even fewer of those signals must feel. Yech.

The Fandom Escapist Election badges are really funny.

I totally lost it when I hit the Duncan/Methos ticket.

And the Angel in 2004 badge is precious.
