c: I just wanna live some place where there are more people like me.
l: There is no such place.
(this after we’d been discussing whether or not I was austistic. To which Brian said that I was no more autistic than he. I believe I explicitly pointed out what scant comfort this was. =)
Cold comfort indeed.
Hee hee, nice.

Hey, can you tell to check his voice mail and call me!
I can and did point the horse to water. But my powers have limits.
Hmmm…. I’ve got friends in town who wanted to see him, and we have Cirque du Soliel ticket with his name on it. He better call me….
FYI: Using “mongoloid” to mean retarded is now considered offensive (to Mongoloid people, not to the ‘tards). But ya’ll are probably aware.
In my defense, I was just quoting him. But I hang my head in shame at my cultural insensitivity nonetheless.
I sometimes assume a deliberately offensive alternate persona around Stephen just to get a reaction, but I would have spoken differently if I knew I’d end up quoted in his LJ! (thank you Stephen!) 🙂
Well, to be fair, I’ve used far less excusable language when talking to you in very similar veins. And I told you last night that I’d quoted you. =)
Dear, you are not autistic. Or ausperger’s, unless very mild.
My sister is classic ausperger’s. (sp? I’m too lazy to look it up right now) You’ve met my sister.
I rest my case.
