Egh. XD

@thps48  
That’s exactly what it should be.  
Unfortunately some people use it as a stopping point.

@OneOverTwo  
Self-diagnosing just sounds like another way to say “I should see a doctor about this thing” to me. :3

@Marvelous TK  
I was going to say something about “unless you already have the expert’s opinion”, but I couldn’t think of any way to state it that didn’t seem overly awkward.
 
Self-diagnosis pretty dumb.  
_{(Though I guess it could be used as a starting point or something, but only as that.)}

@OneOverTwo  
expert’s opinion on… symptoms?
 
Oh, unless you’re referring to the disorder itself, in which case never fear, I’m very much medically diagnosed. Never actually even crossed my mind I could have any form of autism until I was outright told by professionals that I did. Self-diagnosis makes no sense to me.
 
but if you’re referring to an expert’s opinion on the symptoms i still don’t get it

@Marvelous TK  
Don’t forget to get an expert’s opinion.
 
As for researching symptoms, I didn’t go very far out of my way to find things out about it.

@Marvelous TK  
My mom just gave me a book and I skimmed it. Oh, also, some PBS doc fifteen years ago said some stuff on eye contact. :3

@thps48  
Well, huh. Never know what you’re going to find in three-month-old comments. For example, today I learned why I have trouble with faces. Never knew it was all… medical.
 
… d’you think most people with disorders actually research their symptoms? is it just me that never bothers finding out the details? except for randomly stumbling on comments at imageboards, obviously.

She didn’t predict, she saw her before, likely for a second.

also, I want Human Twilight to use “You’re not scientifically possible!” against Princess Twilight.

wow. Villain Twilight has some really interesting potential, and I hope the writers realize it.
 
First, the obvious: Human Twilight wasn’t anywhere to be seen in the first two, yet Pinkie predicted that she existed. So, she has to go SOMEWHERE, and of course she ends up at a rival school.
 
Theory: Sunset somehow had a hand in this, even if unintentionally. Maybe there were only so many spaces available at CHS, and when Sunset left Equestria, she took the spot “meant” for Human Twilight.
 
Be interesting to see if 1) Twilight hates her other self 2) the HuMane 5 mistake the evil twin for Twilight 3) They can’t just rainbow blast Human Twilight, right?

what the?

For a time, I thought I was mentally retarded because no one ever actually defined my condition, so I pigeonholed it into the “special needs” category, but in the end I’m not less capable than the average person, I’m in actuality an evolved form of Homo Sapiens I’m more capable than the average person. :3
 
(Can you tell why I rarely get on with anyone? XD )

Toilet Spackle on the Dork Side?  

It was kind of unfortunate we never got a proper face-off between Twilight and Sunset and the latter turning good by the sequel made it even more unlikely to happen, but with this there’s now a chance.

Maybe she’ll try and get the Wondercolts disqualified for using performance-enhancing magic.

@OneOverTwo  
It’s alright, I know it’s a sensitive issue, of course. Yeah…shame about what happened to that.

@Lawful Girly  
Sorry, it’s just a rather negative sounding way of putting things. Though I do concede that trying to change the language around it might run into the same problem that happened with the word “special”.

@OneOverTwo  
That we, who have it, are incredibly bad at social interaction. Seriously. It’s considered an illness by society at large, for whatever reasons (right or wrong), so it’s discussed in those terms. Let’s just leave it at that, ’kay?

@Lawful Girly  
Er, what case exactly?

I remember why I don’t like to discuss my and others’ affliction. XD

@OneOverTwo  
I didn’t invent it.  
But I also don’t get upset over it. You’re not really helping the case here…

@Lawful Girly  
For a polite term is sure doesn’t sound very polite.

@thps48  
It’s not really an illness, at least only as much of one as left-handedness can be considered a mental illness.

@OneOverTwo  
It’s really the polite term, as it’s technically an illness. I know, personally speaking, it doesn’t feel like one…
