Kyoshi Frost Wolf

A lot, but the more obscure one is Friend for a Foe. Seriously, look these guys up. Very talented metal group with barely any recognition.

There are quite a few, but one memorable one for me is Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors 4. He is always impossible to defeat early on. You get his health down 3/4 and then he heals back up fully for you to do it one more time, only then he is even more powerful then before. I always ran past him, until I leveled up a ton. Still would never challenge him to a duel though, that is just plain suicide.

I think that the Caption Fail videos by RhettandLink deserve way more views. They really need to make more of these. Comedic technology failing at its finest.

 

What I mean by determination is that one of the defining factors of Aspergers is, and I quote(From Wikipedia, but that still counts, right?) " restricted and repetitive interests and behavior".

 

Dah Okay. Total misinterpretation on my part. Then again I am tired and just thought "Ugh.......Simple definitions only........." I do that numerous times on a daily basis. By that definition, I have that A TON. Weird how quickly things can flip like that.

I have given it quite a bit of thought, and it does seem that there are a number of people in the brony community with Aspergers. It is a form of High-functioning Autism, and I'm on the higher end of even that spectrum, but that does not mean I am without my quirks. I talk in a manor most find unusual, and tend to latch on to new interests... Rather tightly. It just so happens that Ponies is that new interest right now.

Really though, my problem? I don't think that it should be considered autism. I view the world differently, but to me that is all the world is, different. No one is the same as anyone else, and we as humans feel the need to label those who differ by a greater amount. But why? Am I really that far off from others? We all think, and feel, so what if I think from another perspective?

A lot of you seem to be under the impression that this is a hindrance, like something is weighing you down, but I... I see it as the opposite. This 'ailment' is like a balloon, lifting me above others who have a veil over their eyes. I can see the world in a way NO one else does, so how does that make me lesser? Hindrance? No, this is a gift, one that lets me see what others do not, so I can go on to do what no one else would think to do.

Don't think that just because you are labeled means you are inferior. Maybe I have no social skills to speak of. Maybe I can't tell when someone is silently hinting at something through body language that I just can't pick up. What I can do, is whatever the buck I want, because what we have is determination. Some may say that how we latch on to topics is irrational. They might think that the way we research it is pointless, irrelevant. But others... Other's call children with aspergers 'little professes' because they KNOW what they are talking about, because it's something they like to talk about. With our level of determination, there is NOTHING we cannot accomplish, and I think that others should come to see that.

This is not 'autism', this is audacity.

 

I personally do not see myself as inferior, just different in a very unique way. I do have many, many problems though, and knowing that there is a medical diagnosis of such is neato for me and in my case I consider it a hinderance and a gift. Yes, I have the anxiety, anger problems, and horrid social skills, but I also have a unique personality and I am just zany, though I am nowhere near as determined as you seem to be, so I am unsure where you are getting that we are all like that...

I have heard that the professional people in the medical field are wanting to drop the term Aspergers and just put it strictly on the autism scale, which it kinda feels like it is already.

With me, I actually did not know I was diagnosed until a few years ago. Once I found out that I was, I looked it up and checked the common problems that those diagnosed can face. I matched all of them, and it was a huge realization. My social life has always been terrible and I have always had these particular problems that I mentioned, I just never knew why. Finding out was awesome, because I was always cut myself down about my many problems and this explained things.

Again, shutting up....

Perhaps there is a thread somewhere about this, or maybe not.

Anypony else have Aspergers like me?

When were you diagnosed?

Know the severity?

Do you have any stims?

Discuss!

I was diagnosed rather young, can't remember when exactly. I recently visited three mental professionals for my SSI thing and they all said that my case was severe. I have a ton of random stims. I mean, RANDOM. One of them for example, it articulate speaking. For some reason, it makes me feel really good when I hear speaking in very articulated tones. Strange huh?

The Aspergers is a huge drawback of my life, but I am accepting it more and more every day. My socials skills are disastrous and I have tons of anxiety, as well as certain twitches. I also tend to rock back and forth almost constantly when sitting. I also rarely make eye contact with people, even my own family. I also have a huge problem with stress and anger, I tend to get frustrated very easily, which often can lead to me bashing my face in with really bad meltdowns. Another problem, if you can get me to talk, say about one of my many obsessions, I won't know when to shut up, or tell when someone wants me to stop.

You know what else? I also tend to make long threads, like this one. Shutting up now.

I am more of a general discussing type person. I just like expressing my opinion on things a lot, which can lead to some interesting posts, and some not.

Your and you're being used incorrectly. GAAAAAAAAAAH I hate that! Though it is incredibly entertaining when used in an insult.

"Your stupid!" Ahem, when did I ever buy a stupid?

Anyone else a fan of this group? I think that the latest album was the weakest by far but it was still quite good. It is too bad that the group is MIA right now due to Nero's drug problem, but there are rumors of their return, though those are not confirmed.

Any fans around?

When I am stressed, which happens a lot, I tend to listen to music and look at pictures of stuff that I like. I also tend to rant to myself about random things which seems odd but it helps.

I suppose I can add Friendship is Magic to the list. Every time I watch an episode, I am in a better mood than before, Something about it uplifts me.

I do not have a vehicle, or a license. I have way too much anxiety to drive, among other things. It is difficult making some people understand that. Apparently I am not the only one like that so I don't feel too alone on that.

Thanks for the welcoming! It is awesome that there are so many cool people in this community.

I like many genres, mostly Symphonic Metal, Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Aggro-Tech, among others.

I hate my dreams as of late. They are all incredibly realistic and I swear everytime I have one, I think that it actually happened. My latest one was me pulling an awesome Heroclix figure. When I woke up, I was very disappointed.

I love the show because it is cute, the characters are all great, and I love the nature of the show. As someone who never really grew up, this show was such a welcome because most kids shows nowadays are terrible and this one is just awesome.

There probably is more, but my mind is scrambled.

Fluttershy easily. She is cute and kind, but she is also (obviously) incredibly shy and not too talkative. She reminds me of me and my Aspergers Syndrome stuff. I have horrible social skills in person. :| I love them all though!

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Fluttershy

How did you find MLP Forums?: I found the site through Google. I was searching for a community to discuss this awesome show with!

How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Not sure, I seen the show on Youtube a little while back and I was really fascinated by it. I loved the characters and the cute nature of the whole show. I am more fond of cutesy stuff so this show was right up my league. I love the characters and everything else about the show now.

Hello people. I am a Noobrony (Has anyone used that term before? If not, YAY!) who has Aspergers Syndrome, Hydrocephalous, and some other stuffs. I am a gamer, Heroclix player and a music lover. I don't have any talents really, but I am pretty creative. I like coming up with characters and stories but I never seem to continue them. I also do not have many friends thanks to my horrible social skills. I can do pretty good on the internet, but in person I am horrible at talking. This is why Fluttershy is my favorite! I have a lot of anxiety as well, but that is unimportant right now.

ANYWAYS, I hope to meet some cool people here! It is great to see such a large community for such an awesome show. Sorry for my rambling.
