Actually, Annie. I knew you were autistic because we seem to have this exact conversation over and over from time to time.
The sad truth is that I noticed that people on the Spectrum seem to dislike each other. Twe seem to see "normal people" as something akin to superhuman, and fellow autistic as something to despise. It really is quite weird.
Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Oh. Really? I thought I hid it pretty well. Lol
You mentioned it once, I think. I have a really good long-term memory. I am able to recall most of the locations that I put into Vampyro pretty well. It really is a boon for storytelling when you can recall what you wrote 20 pages ago, lol.

I think I'm one of the very few I know online who is not autistic. I don't see autism as a bad thing, and it's unfortunate that we as a species have decided if one's mind does not work a certain way, then we must be broken and need to be treated so we can act the same as everyone else.
Having said that, I suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. So y'know, make of that what you will.
Everyone has the potential to be an asshat in a flower crown.
I'm not on the spectrum, but my younger brother is. For me, I've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and depression. I think I'm also ADHD or ADD or something similar, but I haven't had insurance to, like, talk to anyone about getting a diagnosis or anything. Gotta love American health care systems.
I'll get a post up on Angel's thread in just a minute. Gotta catch up on the posts, which seem like they're exponentially growing even as I read through them.
