Ask Kosmonaut anything !

[Kosmonaut]

I don't doubt it, but it's just a label isn't it. It will probably be called something else in 10 or 20 years time. I don't really understand what it means when it says 'Have Aspergers - Diagnosed'. I mean, not all these doctors agree you know, ive had a few diagnoses ( first time i saw a doctor there was no such thing as aspergers, he just gave me some prozac and that seemed to work). The last guy i saw said i had AS, but he is an expert in the field, so he would say that wouldn't he ?

How often do you talk to other people IRL?  I guess I am asking if you are a bit of a hermit.

Yes, i am a bit of a hermit, although i do like to get out of the house every day.
I see my mother and father once a week. A couple of acquaintances i talk business now and then, and a few who i nod and say 'hello, how you doin?' to.
I had an argument with a woman in the supermarket today; the most words i have said to someone new for sometime.

Does keeping to yourself make you happy?

Yes, i used to be a lot more social, but it was causing me some problems.
I need more time to recharge and recuperate from things nowadays.

I assume problems...as in stressful?

Do you fantasize about being able to communicate better or does it not bother you?

[Kosmonaut]

Yes, stressful. Sensory overload, panic attacks, not being able to get into a conversation with people without it feeling like warfare, then paranoia. Generally not being able to chill-out.
I am calmer now.
I wouldn't say i fantasize about being able to communicate better, i have tried to improve my skills in the past. But now i realize it's just something i am terrible at. Everyone is good and bad at certain things, i can't complain with 'my lot.'

OK, no more questions for now...you can relax!

  i thought i was coping quite well: but i need to get some food now anyway.

Do you like Sesame street?


Do you watch it?

[Kosmonaut]

I haven't watched it for a long time.
I used to like watching it when i was a child even though most of the characters i found very annoying; but there was some funny ones too.
I liked the one who lived in the trash-can, think he was called grouch, i can't remember.
