I can react to this situation in only one way, by quoting George Takei: "Oh my!"

Thanks for your kindness. I have even called my older friends 'kid' when frazzled, so pretty much this. Consider it my filter not being on, so many apologies as it was unintended. I'm also in a bit of a mood because a doctor who seemed about a decade younger than I told me in a letter I've been den...

Also don't call me kid, I'm 34. To a large number of us here, being 34 is a kid. Yeah. Just barely more than half my age. Lol, last time I checked that still made me an adult, unless we've suddenly turned into slow aging, long living elves, then yes, anyone under at least 50 is a kid. :lol: But if ...

I'm Autistic, and it took most of my life, but you can learn. It's sometimes the only way to survive. Being a nerd is probably the only thing that helped me survive decades of bullying. When people listened and learned I wasn't "showing off" and truly understood I did not get some of what...

Tho I'm still unwilling to say it for 100% (mostly because this a comic and Atsali is a mythical being), but the whole inability to empathize with others is an other indicator somewhat pointing towards a form of Autism. While that is true, it is not the only reason people fail to empathize with oth...

Tho I'm still unwilling to say it for 100% (mostly because this a comic and Atsali is a mythical being), but the whole inability to empathize with others is an other indicator somewhat pointing towards a form of Autism. I myself have this, unless I've been trough the same thing, I can not empathize ...

You are very fortunate you could get one. Every time I go, I get told it's rare, or impossible for a girl to have it. I have had three unofficial diagnosis, but it's not enough. It's getting more frustrating every time I try to get diagnosed. They also are changing a lot of Aspies to PDD-NOS, which...

For me the jury is still out on what her particular disability is, I've reread the archive from her introduction till today, and I can't really tell 100%. It could be some form of Autism (Aspergers/High Functioning in particular) but since every case is different it's hard to tell, mostly because we...

Umm, either Sirenfolk have a social blind spot you could drive a fleet of semis through, or we may have confirmation that Atsali is autistic spectrum. Actually both of those can be true at the same time so... :arrow: As someone who has Aspergers Syndrome (A full battery of tests and talks, actual m...

Actually the spelling in PW's original FB post is wrong or different from the ones I've seen, the correct one would be, Haliae, Haliead, or Haliaedes, aka Sea Nymphs (as can be seen here: http://www.theoi.com/Nymphe/Haliai.html ) One of the most well known Haliae is Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon...

I cant find any reference to a Helead. Can you please tell me what it is?? Somebody tracked down the term as meaning "a nymph of the fen." So, if a Dryad is a tree lady, a Helead is a marsh miss. Actually the spelling in PW's original FB post is wrong or different from the ones I've seen,...
