h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Vicky any nationality can have it. Your nephew? Yeah from which side of your parents does your nephew come? I'm asking because of the genetic component. You have to think blood relatives.

My feeling is that you definitely have it. I did a lot of in depth research on symptoms. I'm deadly serious Vicky, if people realised the problem you have, it would make your life so much easier. A big thing about it is that the expression of emotion is the problem, not, not having emotions. I urge you to read the whole of that article I linked to.

Take your time. Don't feel bad about it. It makes loads of sense to me about confusion about stuff I've said to you lately. It's so easy to misinterpret things with Aspergers. I'm not certain obviously. But I would say it's highly likely. And it would certainly account for my utter confusion sometimes about communication with you. That's one of the main problems for Asperger people, other people get completely confused and misinterpret things. I certainly have. Come on and you know I'm not the only one.

Vicky I'm really trying to help you here.

Get back to me on this, when you've read a bit. Go to the official sites. There must be one in New Zealand. The UK have two.

And *I'm* not going to let it drop, so don't try just not ever replying to me again about it. Or talking about it. Don't worry, just calmly look into it, please.

He's my sister's son, definitely a blood relative.

Really, the whole discussion makes me uneasy. It seems like an excuse.

Vicky

Don't be ridiculous - an excuse? Do you think me having mood swing problems is an 'excuse' then?

I urge you to try objectively to look into it. I should imagine it's much harder to accept it if you have it milder. Personally I'd feel really relieved because it explains so much about communication problems, the humour thing, the literalism etc. You've spoken about that before.

You don't have to feel bad. If it's a fact, it's a fact, not an excuse.

Anyway like I say I'm not going to let it drop until I feel you've looked into it and taken it seriously.

You can talk to me anytime about it here.

I myself, me, would feel bloody relieved to understand the reasons for the communication problems. Like I said I'm someone that doesn't give up trying to understand the reason for something.

Vicky I've noticed this happening before. When I push you on something 'real', you go off and post childish rubbish somewhere else.

I won't be responding to any of that rubbish elsewhere. I can imagine you feel quite upset about what I've spoken to you about here.

Any way you know where I am.

I'm not upset, I am just thinking aboutit...

Vicky

You're quite clearly upset from the way you're behaving on the Dawkin's thread. Anyway blicky has now suggested a new diagnosis on my space.

Don't worry though. You've quite clearly got *something*

But there is no shame in whatever it is. But I would encourage you to talk to someone for help. Your GP? Seriously Vicky, I'm only saying that because I care about you. And there's not much I can do from 11,000 miles away.

But I'll always talk to you.

Yes, of course I am upset, and I don't appreciate your patronising twaddle about GPs...

You insult my family, them's fighting words.

You care? Funny way you have of showing it!

I don't see how mentioning a GP is patronising. They are medically trained people, with all sorts of access to counselling help.

And I do care. You know I never beat about the bush with you. And I think you basically prefer me like this. I never mess you around with artificial niceness.

If you don't like my bluntness. Tough.

But I *do* care, very much.

Leon (I know you hate my mentioning him, but it's relevant here) is always on my case about seeing a GP about my (lack of) weight.

I find it irritating, and being diagnosed with various mental health problems by the Blicky monster and by you, isn't helpful either.

No I don't mind you mentioning Leon. I've only said anything about him because of the way you have spoken about him in the past. You've made it clear to me why you have to fuss over him, so that's an end to it.

I imagine he wants you to see your GP because he loves you and cares about you. Vicky there's no shame in getting help. Crikey I've had loads and loads. I might not still be here without it. I'm not saying it is that serious with you. But you owe it to yourself.

I can understand your irritation with our diagnoses all the way from the UK . So that's why you should see your GP.

Once you do that I'll swap medical stories with you.

Seriously Vicky people only want you to get help because they care. I hope Leon continues to nag you.

Vicky you are treading on thin ice on the Dawkin's thread.


If nothing else, you've well and truly proved to me, you are NOT aspergers, with this display of passion tonight. I've got the message, okay?

But I don't want to see you banned.

Now I am not Aspergers? Make up your mind!

Edward chose to make a federal case out of it. I've explained til I am sick of it. Why can't people see the difference between anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist?

I have had Palestinian friends, one of whom, David Wakim, died recently. A Zionist group got an editorial cartoonist here fired for 'anti-semitism', and the paper, the Herald, is terrified to this day, of saying 'boo' to the Israelis... When the IDF kill a schoolgirl who's committed the crime of walking home from school and wearing a backpack that *might* have (but didn't) contain a bomd, when they kill children sunning themselves on the roof of their house, the Herald won't carry the story for fear of Honest Reporting.com.

They make me sick.

<>

That should be bomb of course....

Vicks I have reached the end of my tether with you tonight, and it's getting really late. I'll speak to you again, hopefully tomorrow when you are in a different mood. I've never known you to be so continually passionate and enraged as I've seen tonight. I *do* think there is a connection between your *sustained* behaviour tonight and what I said earlier. It's been quite an eye opener for me.

I'm *not* going to get into any sort of discussion with you *here* about middle eastern politics. I suspect we may even differ on some things.

See your bloody GP, and listen to Leon.

Goodnight.

See my GP? Yeah, from a distance.. if I see her, it'll be in the grocery shop, and I'll say 'hi' over the vegetables!

Yeah, too right I am passionate, about children being smashed by shells, imprisoned and tormented, because they have brown skins, and because they lived in a country before a lot of white western people arrived and said "get off our land". You should have seen how passionate David Wakim was, and his daughter still is - in her case, about human rights everywhere.

Vicky

I've posted to 3dots that from now on I want to make my own mind up about things. I want no more advice from others about you. It's been filling my head my head with all kinds of crazy ideas.

If that means hurt and difficulty - too bad.

Any way I hope you appreciate me telling you that from now on I'm not taking any advice from others about you. It's up to us.

Yes, I appreciate that very much! I really think that's how it should be...

Vicky

Good.

Hope you're mood's a bit less irrationally and uncontrolably passionate, than last night.

Vicky you really are going to have to watch what you say about Lewis. I'm not kidding you.

Hey, I like Lewis! He's doing so well, and he's so young! (There's a bit of a reaction against Lewis, because he's doing too well, or so some people think, but I am not one of them...

But I like Kimi and Fernando too.

(And Kubica, he's as I said, a rising . )
