Man.... Ive just finished my second Phish concert today, and im starting my third.... these shows are 3 hours long each.... Obsession like this reinforces my growing belief i have asbergers..... Does anypony have experience in that? I've looked up all the "symptoms" and practically every single one apply....

@purplephish20 I find that if it's all you think of and pretty much the only thing you're interested in 24/7, then I guess so, though a band doesn't seem like the right idea.
-
@purplephish20 Aspbergers is very vaguely defined. Most people could self-diagnose themselves as it at times.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony And most do.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony To the extent that 2/3rds of the brony community seems to have done.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony @scribble I mean it when I say Phish and ponies is my entire thought pattern... Im obsessed.... And it just keeps growing, The last thing i want to do is mis diagnose something, that'd be stupid
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony if not themselves then court-appointed psychiatrists whose word must be taken with a grain of salt *true story*
-
@purplephish20 If you honestly feel it, then there's no harm in getting checked. I was diagnosed when I was about 8-ish.
-
@purplephish20 Think so. I can't remember the process as it was about 10 years ago and my memory is very fuzzy.
-
@purplephish20 You don't self-diagnose. Get someone licensed to determine that for you if it concerns you.
-
@redenchilada Fie, self-diagnosis is best diagnosis. And then you can make your totally legit condition the central defining aspect of your character, and hide behind it any time somebody expects you not to be a waste of space.

@redenchilada Thats exactly what i mean, I would NEVER self diagnose anything apart from flu....
-
@scribus I don't even like when people joke about it. My older bro has it (legally diagnosed) and you could spot a significant difference between me and him.
-
@redenchilada Sorry if I rubbed you wrong, there. I meant to come off as on your side, maybe snark was the wrong tool.
-
@scribus It's no problem, honestly; I've just been around too many people who don't know what Asperger's is and try to say it isn't a real condition. They're worse than the self-diagnosers, imho.
-
@redenchilada I know this feel :c
-
@redenchilada Ooh, geez, I could imagine. Do they try to say the Holocaust was a hoax as well?
