Aspies For Freedom

I used to drive myself crazy (literally literally) trying to work out all possible responses that the other person could make to my (so far) imaginagry statement so I would be prepared for "the real world". Didn't work of course... they always managed to say something that was (to me) *totally* off the wall.
2 examples spring to mind with G.P's
Me: Blah blah problems depressed etc
G.P: Are your bowels open?
Me: (in head... did he hear/smell something? is this an improper offer? did I leave my cycle clips on? etc)

G.P2: How are your higher mental functions today?

I still don't even understand question 2, let alone how to answer it.

Haha, I totally know what you mean. I do that a lot too. They're really detailed conversations too, about pretty much anything that happens to cross my mind.

I totally would have never thought that an aspie thing... When I dream (which is rare) and more often when I'm fantasizing... I dream of very boring normal things... The worst is when I replay a conversation where I didn't handle things correctly. In my dreams I always say what I want to say! Wish I could do it in real life though!

Droog- I LOVE that your obsessive interest was/is GD. I'm a typography nut myself... I actually got a BFA in GD. I like being creative and being on the computer!

Good luck with your appointments! I'm still waiting on an "official" diagnosis too.

Crap. I just got the elbow joke... very funny slowburn.
