Are you using a mod? Regardless, nice building!

I can't help but facepalm at that post. How were your dreams crushed? Are you just too lazy to do what you do best simply because of some hard work involved? That's just pathetic. I'm sorry if that sounded rude, but that's what you sound like you're saying. Like what ShadOBabe said, you could just go your own way, making your own studio or something. Don't just give up because of a few setbacks. Also, since when did R-rated gore and the like automatically make a movie good? I'm sick and tired of this immature mentality that's plaguing our culture. "Maturity" shouldn't come at the cost of shoehorning unnecessary excessive "adult" content just to get childish people like you to watch it. As a Brony, you of all people should know that something can still be kid-friendly without losing quality. I shouldn't have to tell you this!

I've been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as well. In my early tween years, when I was first told about my diagnosis by my parents, I was in denial. It almost seemed like an insult of sorts, knowing that all my life, I was getting special treatment without being told about it. It was as if people saw me as being on a lower level, having lower standards than everyone else. I felt alienated, disappointed, and ashamed at the same time. However, I eventually got over it, realizing that whether or not I actually classify as autistic doesn't change who I am, as it's just a category of an unusual way of thinking that I just so happen to have. Since then, I've come to embrace it. It has certainly helped me learn to be myself and have my own personal identity instead of trying to live by other people's standards. Looking through the symptoms, I'd say a fair amount of them apply to me, so I guess that's considered enough evidence to count, seeing as the definition of Asperger's (and autism in general) is rather loose. Here are some of the traits I have that could be considered characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome: I tend to have trouble communicating in general. At times, it seems as if I say something, only to have another person misinterpret it or the other way around. I occasionally get remarks about my lack of eye contact or overall unresponsiveness despite my acknowledging of the conversation going on. However, the main problem I have is how a lot of what I say tends to go over other people's heads, in part because It can be hard for me to predict how much other people are going to know about a certain subject, especially if I don't know the other person very well. I'm an antisocial introverted person for the most part. While I'm not afraid of being around others, I'd rather take matters into my own hands if I can, especially since I'm not the best when it comes to communicating with others. I'm more of an independent person who is fully capable of thinking things through by himself. I'd rather not force myself to depend on other people if I don't have to. Since I think so differently from most other people, trying to translate my thoughts to match their thinking patterns usually results in misunderstandings, and besides, I always know exactly what I have in mind and have it all planned out in my head, anyway, so its usually just a matter of getting it done by myself. I have many different talents, interests, hobbies, and the like ranging from studying dolphins to designing roller coasters to scripting programs to playing and writing music to whittling and crafting to storytelling and writing to photography and filming to taekwondo and so on. If it's something I as an analytically-minded person can understand and appreciate, then I'm likely to be skilled in that area. While I'm considerably better in some areas than in others, I take all my talents and interests seriously, sometimes to the point of obsession, as they are my best method of using my expansive knowledge as well as I can to get my ideas across. I appreciate all the fine details that many people take for granted. Too much information? Never! Statistics and the like are very fascinating to me and I make it a priority to know as much as I can. Memorization comes naturally if it all makes sense to me. My memory works more like an archive or a giant database. I've received countless compliments over how much I know in many areas because of this (such as almost any time I'm talking about dolphins). For example, you can name just about any roller coaster and I can tell you its maximum height, top speed, total track length, ride duration, manufacturer, history, and the like. I am very logically-oriented, and thus I tend to get worked up over things like last minute deadline changes (especially if I'm not informed of them) or anything else that fails to make sense. I prefer to be organized and concise whenever I can. Whether or not Asperger's Syndrome, It's always nice to know that there are plenty of other people I can still relate to. I'm honestly surprised by how many others like me there are just on these forums alone!

...And I'll be killing you with a hot dog.
