    Origin of autism?!

    Favourite TV Show/Series?

    Hmm.... My favorites (which means I will one day buy all the DVDs and watch them over and over, and even listen to commentaries and watch ALL the special features.)

    Recent diagnosis....confused now

    I was recently diagnosed with PDD-NOS and NLD. Now that I'm researching it, I get kicked to Autism sites. This feels so weird to me. o_O People tell me I'm strange or clueless.
