ALL YOU PEOPLE HAVE ASBERGER'S SYNDROME!
I have suspected for quite some time that people like US all suffer from some portion of ASBERGER'S SYNDROME.
Now, I'm convinced of it.
See my other topic on this for details.
As far as me?
I HATE to have anything scheduled for me to HAVE TO DO! I don't like being told I MUST do something. I can't read instructions; I have to puzzle things out for myself. I can only really learn what I teach myself using my own methods.
I try to project a really good-natured sense of fun at the workplace even on days I feel completely miserable.
I say "Yes, sir" and "No Ma'am" to everybody instead of "Yeah" or "Nope".
I scrutinize HOW something is said as being more important than WHAT is being said.
I examine everything people say to me on two levels simultaneously:
1.The absolute LITERAL meaning
2.The logical construction of their statement
I have waaaaaay too many LPs, cassettes, Mini-Discs,CD's, and CD-rs but refuse to organize them or alphabetize them.
If I get too hungry I cannot eat and then I get deeply depressed. I might drive to restaurant after restaurant and be unable to leave my car and end up home again.
I equate being fed a warm meal with love. I never get any love!
I've been married 18 years to a woman and I have no idea who she is or why she thinks or acts the way she does. She doesn't like me at all and wants to NOT be married to me. Can you blame her?
The only thing compulsive about me is being VERBAL. The more upset I am the more I begin precisely verbalizing.
Whew! That's a whole dumpload, isn't it?
