He is still target practice.

His problem is that he's really poor target practice, too clueless for anything beyond penis envy and stating everyone is a troll.

I think we should consider the possibility that he is a brilliant genius, and that the lot of us just don't get it :'/

I already did. He isn't. Most of his "theories" are easily debated and even crushed to bits, and I've not seen him make a single claim about any interests besides jacking off all day or pornography.

Monkeys can do that too.

I was being sarcastic, he is a douchebag :]

i like stephen fry because he's one of the few people that actually talks abuot having bipolar disorder instead of hiding it in the shadows like it's some demon mark. it's good because it shows people that BPD doesn't have to hold you back. by the way, to OP, have you ever been to bodie, CA ghost town?

I watched a documentary by Stephen Fry about Bipolar and it was pretty informative. He went through an episode of depression while making it and I could certainly understand what he was going through.

Today at the shelter I volunteer at I tipped off the part-time worker that one of the guests (young teen) was not schizophrenic and that he was probably aspie. I felt good about that because his doctors are bullshitting him if they think he has schizophrenia. I have talked to him- he's wicked intelligent, logical, coherent, just kind of speyshal. These effing docs don't know shit from chocolate as far as I am concerned.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Wouldn't it be sort of sad if he actually was schizophrenic, though? They can be speshul, too.

If he is schizophrenic, then thats cool. But it would be a little sad because it means his brain is suffering from gradual deterioration. :/

I just think this- if the equations he apparently busts out are fake, then he has schizophrenia. If they are real equations, then he is aspie.

I was in hospital, yesterday and this morning. No stigmatising because of aspergers at all, but, they did question me about how I register/do not register pain. So, they did take into account what was important about my aspergers in this situation.

And I got lucky on the ward I was, only one other woman, also needing her rest desperately. We both would not have minded spending another day and night together at all, sleeping. Perfect roommate.

Glad it went well....but why were you in the hospital???

And glad to be back, my favourite multi-coloured bovine  :headbang2:

Not really understanding this thought process.
