I don't doubt it, but it's just a label isn't it. It will probably be called something else in 10 or 20 years time. I don't really understand what it means when it says 'Have Aspergers - Diagnosed'. I mean, not all these doctors agree you know, ive had a few diagnoses ( first time i saw a doctor there was no such thing as aspergers, he just gave me some prozac and that seemed to work). The last guy i saw said i had AS, but he is an expert in the field, so he would say that wouldn't he ?

How often do you talk to other people IRL?  I guess I am asking if you are a bit of a hermit.

Yes, i am a bit of a hermit, although i do like to get out of the house every day.
I see my mother and father once a week. A couple of acquaintances i talk business now and then, and a few who i nod and say 'hello, how you doin?' to.
I had an argument with a woman in the supermarket today; the most words i have said to someone new for sometime.

Does keeping to yourself make you happy?

Yes, i used to be a lot more social, but it was causing me some problems.
I need more time to recharge and recuperate from things nowadays.

I assume problems...as in stressful?

Do you fantasize about being able to communicate better or does it not bother you?

Yes, stressful. Sensory overload, panic attacks, not being able to get into a conversation with people without it feeling like warfare, then paranoia. Generally not being able to chill-out.
I am calmer now.
I wouldn't say i fantasize about being able to communicate better, i have tried to improve my skills in the past. But now i realize it's just something i am terrible at. Everyone is good and bad at certain things, i can't complain with 'my lot.'

I haven't watched it for a long time.
I used to like watching it when i was a child even though most of the characters i found very annoying; but there was some funny ones too.
I liked the one who lived in the trash-can, think he was called grouch, i can't remember.

As Dave Chappele said, "Of course he's a grouch, he lives in a fuckin garbage can!"
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.
