rpanons | Badly's an adverb

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

ah, I haven't been diagnosed with anything (then again never been tested either), and I don't think I might be on the autistic spectrum?

...Maybe Asperger's, I don't know. I thought about it once or twice but figured I was just trying to make a snowflake out of myself.

IMO, Asperger's has a lot more to do with how you interact with people rather than lacking empathy. Empathy's part of it, sure, but so is your ability to sustain lasting relationships, relate with your peer group, and your overall perspective on things. For me, it colors my whole world rather than just being a checklist of symptoms. I just give the basic example of seeing the sky as red while everyone else sees it as blue. It's a neurological difference, and you just think differently, period.

If you've ever felt that way or otherwise out of place, it might be worth seeking a diagnosis. Autism in general tends to get a bad rap on here because it's often used as an excuse to be an asshole when really it's quite crippling and no one should want to have it. There's a whole argument in favor of "neurodiversity" but I'd know I'd give it up in a heartbeat if I could. Autism is not fun for me and I really wish it never became fashionable to use as an insult.
