Bush? Bush who?

As Obama prepares to take office, Bush may as well be on vacation. The spotlight is almost COMPLETELY off him, and it's all about what BHO's planning on doing.

But whatever, life's more about drugs and alcohol and conspicuous consumption than the health and welfare of the middle and lower classes, not to mention that of our economy. Oh and about locking up dangerous criminals and treating them like shit. Don't we have like an 60% repeat offender rate?

Oh, and I think I have Asperger Syndrome. Wheee! Thats like saying I'm more socially adept than an Autistic kid, but less mathematically inclined. What really tipped me off was the part about speech patterns:

Although individuals with Asperger syndrome acquire language skills without significant general delay and their speech typically lacks significant abnormalities, language acquisition and use is often atypical. Abnormalities include verbosity, abrupt transitions, literal interpretations and miscomprehension of nuance, use of metaphor meaningful only to the speaker, auditory perception deficits, unusually pedantic, formal or idiosyncratic speech, and oddities in loudness, pitch, intonation, prosody, and rhythm.

Three aspects of communication patterns are of clinical interest: poor prosody, tangential and circumstantial speech, and marked verbosity. Although inflection and intonation may be less rigid or monotonic than in autism, people with AS often have a limited range of intonation: speech may be unusually fast, jerky or loud. Speech may convey a sense of incoherence; the conversational style often includes monologues about topics that bore the listener, fails to provide context for comments, or fails to suppress internal thoughts.

Children with AS may have an unusually sophisticated vocabulary at a young age and have been colloquially called "little professors", but have difficulty understanding figurative language and tend to use language literally. Children with AS appear to have particular weaknesses in areas of nonliteral language that include humor, irony, and teasing. Although individuals with AS usually understand the cognitive basis of humor they seem to lack understanding of the intent of humor to share enjoyment with others. Despite strong evidence of impaired humor appreciation, there are anecdotal reports of humor in individuals with AS, which challenge theories of humor in AS.

This along with social troubles, and an extensive but narrow range of interests (ie. Space, Politics (with a limited understanding of motives), deep focus on 1 or 2 video games at a time) lead me to belive that it's not ADD I have, but AS. Awesome.
