Dream Does Not Like Introductions; Welcome to the Mental Ward
Topic Started: Feb 10 2009, 10:27 PM (297 Views)
Dream

Hello. Call me Dream, please.

I guess you need a warning. I have Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's is a form of Autism, which you may have heard of. The tricky thing about Asperger's and Autism is that while some people with the diagnosis do also have more intellectual imparment (can't read, have trouble with math), that's not at all what the disability is about. It's about not being able to pick up on social cues and body language, tone of voice, sarcasm, humor, and so forth. It makes peer interaction strained. Asperger's is on the high-functioning range of Autism. Possible individuals with Asperger's are Bill Gates, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstien, off the top of my head. People with Asperger's are characterized as, in addition to having a lot of trouble with social interactions, having an advanced/oldfashioned vocabulary, obsessions with a certian field (trains, FAIRY TALES AND MAGIC, 13th century Dutch literature, doornobs, ect.) and above average intelligence.
What does this mean to you? Well, not much. The great thing about the internet is that a lot of what I wouldn't be able to see in real life is spelled out. But if my characters and I seem really socially naive and keep asking you, "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!?", this is why.
Oh. Yes. And my characters are very weird. I can tell you that right now.

Music wise: Imogen Heap rules all. Other than that is currently escaping me.

I'm a proud Garrison Keillor fangirl.

I read lots. Know a good book? Please tell me. I'm always looking for something well-written.
I don't do Twillight.

I'm writing a book. I don't have a title yet, but I'm having fun writing it.

Hmm. Good books... I haven't read any lately. :c I've heard a few Imogen Heap songs that I really like, but I forget their titles. xD;; So anyway! Weird characters are awesome. <3 I love them myself.

If I can be of any help, please let me know. >3 You really seem like an awesome person, and I hope to get a chance to rp with you sometime. Oh, and here, -Offers welcoming waffle- It's a tradition. =D

Headlock and Frou Frou are amazing Imogen Heap songs. <333 And, welcome to SL! =D We're fairly friendly and we can help with figuring out social stuffs, probably... Just avoid Robin's pervy ways. =P I tease!

Anyways, again, welcome.

Books:
Paper Towns by John Green
Anything Jane Austen
The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
His Dark Materials Triology by Philip Pullman
City of Bones and City of Ashes (Series) by... I forget. xD;;;

There you go, my recommendations because I read probably /too/ much. =)
Good things come in small packages...

So why is it that everyone else thinks I'm a bad thing. ;-;

.... No.
Frou Frou is a duo that Imogen Heap is also in.
Headlock is a great song.

And, welcome to SL! =D We're fairly friendly and we can help with figuring out social stuffs, probably... Just avoid Robin's pervy ways. =P I tease!

Oh my gosh.

I have Aspies as well. My name's Raven, and I've never met another Autistic person before.

By the way, I have several obsessions. Horses, spoons, and computers. Computers are the only way I can communicate properly.
