Today - 10/10/09 - it turns out, is World Mental Health Day. Are they, I ask, trying to upset OCD sufferers?What better day, then, to reveal that I almost certainly reside somewhere on the autistic spectrum with Aspergers. I am, then, a mental.
A mentallist, even.
Yes. Yes I know what you're thinking, and it is this: "That certainly explains a lot."
That certainly explains a lot.
So, on this auspicious day, I thought it time we Aspies issued a rallying cry and rose up against the indifferent hordes of Norms and their effortless social interaction.
Aspergers sufferers of the world unite!! mumble mumble something mumble, if that's alright with you. mumble...

I suffer from Asparagus Syndrome - keep wanting to be plucked from Obscurity by a celebrity farmer chef.
And second for the dreaded wombat nosed cat.
Looking at the world today, I think we should have a world 'unaffected by any problem whatsoever' day, given that these sort of things are sometimes meant to highlight minority issues.
I also suffer from Cheezburger Syndrome
I, too, can say that "I almost certainly reside somewhere on the autistic spectrum with Asperger's". I assume that you are writing about it for comic effect (otherwise, Gaz McK's torturers, er,interrogators, may learn that his controller is a certain frightening fowl).
I've had the "condition" (it's not an "illness' and you don't "suffer" from it, you just "have" it) ever since I can remember. I'm still waiting for a full, professional assessment whilst being palmed off with "treatments" like DIY Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (or Completely Bogus Therapy).
I have found, by myself, that home computers (not PCs - I'm, of course, a Mac Saddoe) and the internet (which I can say was almost invented for me) are the best help going forwards these days.
One of the unexpected benefits of the internet has been being able to read the world's blogs; often finding myself laughing out loud and with tears of
laughter (sometimes at three or four o'clock in the morning - see, I told you so) at what's been posted.
The physiological effect of this compensates me for
missing my lost love Sara Tonin (I'm "depressive", too - it comes with the package, like it or not).
The Scaryduck Corporation, its tentacles and its Blogosphere allies has been very helpful in this regard. What better way to repay all of you this day, than by suggesting readers send in comments aimed at those of us loonies who have exaggerated their condition or don't have one to start with, "specifically to annoy someone like you" (cf. Private Eye Blog - Twitter/Twats).
It looks like your apparent fessing to head-casery has scared off the she-ducks (yeah, it was me who sent that comment); well, girls,"like will to like" is a very old saying (just see who comments here today).
Scary, I was going to send you a card for World Mental Health Day, but the shop only had those joke ones with the rude ink blots.
In the absence of Joy's presence, I wish to protest against the term OCD.
Real OCDs call it CDO, because that's in the correct alphabetical order.
Now I'm off to rehang out the washing because my kids didn't use matching peg colours.
I'd leave a witty comment but I can't be bothered cos I'm too depressed.
Westenengland - who you?
And there I was thinking all this was lies.
For those suffering with Cheezburger syndrome

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm a schizophrenic
And so am I.
@ Donna
Youwho (geddit?), Donna
Westengland not Westenengland (cold turkey from coming off SSRIs? [tactlessness and tastelessness - you want it-I got it, as I told you all])
Anybody interested: Westengland@gmail.com (I must point out that I haven't survived without knowing how to deal with unwanted attention).
Typo: should be Completely Bogus Trickery.
@Scaryduck
Sorry, SD, I'm almost hijacking your blog. Not many commenters so far - are they all on extra strong medication today?
Eh? What's going on?
I feel like everyone is out to get me.
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
All hail our new overlord, Dreaded Wombat Nosed Cat.
And I could really go for a cheeseburger right about now.
I like to believe I'm paranoid. Otherwise, all those nasty things people say about me would be true...
Also. Mentallist. I do not think it means what you think it means. On this side of the Atlantic.

Mmmmm, Simon...

I don't get it. What's upsetting about... any of it? :-S
