I myself have on an old windows 3.1 a kinda journal of my experiences as a kid and I was a kid when I wrote them....so...if that computer still works....I want to get the thing i've called my life story off of their as a teaching tool for some people.....
It's very interesting you brought this up as I am also somebody who has been diagnosed in this particular grouping (I am yet to find a term that doesn't either make it sound like some sort of medical disability or a stupid fraternity).
Apart from a MAJOR meltdown earlier this year when I tried to change too much too quickly with a poor post-school career choice, I have come to enjoy what it has to offer and I have never, ever brought it up without somebody specifically addressing it first. My undying and encyclopedic love of Disney has given me great pleasure for many, many years and I hope it does so for many more to come. There is nothing I love more than tracking down rare CDs or DVDs or tramping out to reference libraries so I can find articles in architecture/design journals about the signage Design of the EuroDisney & Walt Disney World resorts by Sussman/Prejza.
I have learnt the hard way to not really give a crap about what people think of me - getting called a weird cynical asshole or my favorite... not like us = gay... are things I now wear as a badge of honor. The fact of the manner is if I want to take a solo trip half way around the world to visit the place I love (Disneyland) there is nothing wrong with that.
The only real thing I can honestly say it's prevented me from doing (apart from poor post-school career choice) is driving - I just get too stressed behind the wheel and freak out. Luckily, I have public transport or a friend who is always going to be driving somewhere to rely on.
Of course, my experience is my own and will not apply to others. There are times when yes, I do lapse back into dark moods and feel desperately lonely because I can't get people to understand who I am but I eventually realise the only way I am going to be happy is to enjoy what I have and I know that I will be able to achieve what I want in life ahead - WDAS is for the taking!
(Well, first of all the US INS is for the taking, but while I'm studying my Digital Media course at University I want to do WDW International Program then after I finish the WDAS Talent Development Program > ??? > Job!)
), and I'm also curious for the 3D effect. Maybe It will take away my prejudice against motion capture that it looks 'dead'.
