    Oh well, I've waited for quite a while for a reply, but this site seems to be dead. I had high hopes for finding out about my Aspergers....it's a shame this is another dead end.
  2. Thanks, Darkshine. You are not alone....everyone who meets her remarks on her very human expressions, especially her eyes. She makes me laugh too, especially when she looks offended (I wouldn't have that was possible for a dog). I got the idea for her blog from this one, which is written in dog English and always makes me laugh; http://www.davidsbestmate.blogspot.com/ I had a blog of my own for a while but could never think of anything to write, so I deleted it lol.
  3. I made a blog for my dog lol http://mollythelurcher.blogspot.com
  4. I've been using Switch Sound File Converter for about 5 years. Here's the address: http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html It's free and very reliable, although possibly not supported by Windows 7...not sure. I have XP. When you first download it, you get a 2-week trial period and at the end of that time, it asks you to upgrade to the paid version. If you then go "Start" "Control Panel" "Add Or Remove" and begin to uninstal it, you are then given an option menu to purchase the full version, or downgrade to the free version. The free version does everything I need..it basically converts any file..wma, itunes, mp3, wav etc into any other format, with various options for file size etc. I think possibly the free version doesn't convert OGG files, but I don't use them anyway. You have to make a wee empty destination file to put your newly converted file into...it's pretty simple. Another useful freebie is MP3 tag, which allows you to attach information to MP3 files, such as album title, track number, artwork etc. http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ It's better than having lots of songs labelled 'track 1, unknown album' like I used to lol. The information you add is read perfectly by windows media player, ipods, mp3 players, mobile phones, and even CD players that will play an mp3 disc. PM me if you need a hand
  5. I've been listening to Sophie Madeleine this afternoon. She has a bandcamp page, where you can listen to her music.
  6. My fave film is Blow Up. I love the soundtrack.

    Thank you both. I have a friend who has a son with Aspergers and another son without. We'd lost touch for a while but met up again. I spent a Sunday with the family and later on I said to her that I felt that the diagnosis of her two kids was the wrong way around. She laughed and said that it had been amazing to see how well I'd connected with her Aspie son..."he doesn't usually take to people in that way." I said "yes...he's the most normal person I've met for years and then she said "So when were you diagnosed?" I wasn't sure if she meant my schizophrenia, but it turned out that she meant Aspergers. I said that I didn't have Asperger's and she just laughed (in a nice way) and said "oh yes you do". I found a few tests online. I can't remember exactly how they were scored, but basically, you were supposed to be 6 or something and I was getting 55. I emailed the test to my friend and she scored within the normal range. Anyway, I asked my psychiatrist about it and he told me that he'd known that I have Aspergers for years. I asked him why he hadn't mentioned it and he said that he would have if I was a teenager, but he didn't see how knowing could help an adult. Anyway, over the next months I saw various people, did tests, had talks with a psychologist etc and eventually was told that I have aspergers. They would only answer my questions with statements such as "That's difficult to say" "It varies" " etc The only support group in my area closed down years before. Over the years I've been told I have a 'specific learning difficulty' but the specific part has never been explained to me so I wonder if there's a connection. I went to uni and got a degree, so I do function, but I've never been part of a group..I've tried going out for a pint with people, but I just don't connect the way others do, but I can't put my finger on why.

    Hi I was diagnosed a few years ago but was never told what Asperger's actually is. Several people have remarked that I obviously have Aspergers but can't or won't tell me what they mean by that. I've read descriptions of Aspergers on Wikipedia etc, but I have absolutely no idea what it is that I do that makes people say "you obviously have Aspergers"......I just have no clue in what way I'm different from other people. I don't feel different, but I've been called a weirdo my whole life and I just don't know why. There is no support group in my area, so my only contact with other aspergers people is a friend on facebook who has a son with the condition (is that the right word? I have no idea). I'm 50 if that makes any difference.
