I don't really write things for comments. I do write things for people to read though and I just got worried that maybe I jumped the shark and people weren't reading things anymore.<br /><br />Additionally Zoe, sitemeter says that you only came here twice yesterday so it's not a very repetitive behavior. Sitemeter is also enabling me to be INCREDIBLY CREEPY! (For example I saw that my friend came here when he claimed to be doing his homework, so then I IMed him and said "if you can read I'm somewhere else you can talk to me." Hopefully once the novelty wears off I'll stop creeping on people.)Amanda Forest Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284158336100298682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-23181082247616226632010-04-26T02:04:04.375-04:002010-04-26T02:04:04.375-04:00It's still nice to get validation and acknowle...It's still nice to get validation and acknowledgement, though.

I certainly have a brain which goes over the same old lines, whether or not I want it to.<br /><br />I really like her song "Merry Happy," which I was just about to say has nothing to do with ASD, but then I remembered it has one lyric that I really identify with. "Don't you try and tell me that you never loved me/ I know that you did, 'cause you said it and you wrote it down." That insistence on consistency in others reminds me of myself, though I'm not sure if it's an ASD thing or not. I mean, like you say, how can I tell what's an ASD/NLD thing and what isn't? I don't know what it's like to live without it.<br /><br />(Also, since posting that comment I have been keeping track of the number of times I check this blog, and it's definitely more than once a day, so yeah. It's become a repetetive behavior that I exhibit.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
