By the way, everyone...

One of my favorite communities is neopianrants. You have to join to read the posts, but some of them are pretty good....

Okay... this is annoying...

I've been hearing a lot lately about dyspraxia in relation to AS, and decided to look into it. Some of what's there looks right, but it's nearly impossible to sort the relevant information from what's pretty much standard for the spectrum. Now I'm stuck wondering, can you be dyspraxic and *not* autistic? And which of this information is relevant? How much impairment is clinically significant? It's like when I was looking into hyperlexia, but worse. *grumbles*

Better question, should I crosspost this to asperger or not? I hate just posting stuff in places I haven't been much before... It's like going over to someone's house when I don't know them.

Very scary...

I don't get why this isn't big news. *sighs despondantly*

Current Mood: damn mad

*frowns* Annoying question....

Now, as some of you may possibly have surmised, given how frequently I've mentioned him, I very much like Michael-in-my-Latin-class. That actually has very little (I think) to do with my question, just wanted to get that out in the open (in a sufficiently friend-protected post, of course).

The trouble is... he's confuzzling me! *whines*

Since the beginning of the school year, I've been going to the Classics club with him and watching I, Claudius (featuring a very young Jean-Luc Picard!!!). And I've noticed something... irksome. When he introduces me to various people, it's "This is Connie, she's interested in Klingon" or "This is Connie, she's very brilliant" or "This is Connie, you know, she's thinking about Indian Dance (that was to someone who takes Ballroom Dancing with him)". I've also noticed that nobody else does this and he doesn't do this to anyone else (at least, not when I'm around). So this behaviour is 1. not normal and 2. not normal for him. It's also irritating. For reasons I do not wish to divulge, I figured out very early in my school career that I didn't want people to excessively notice me. Now I don't mind being noticed *so* much (hence the famous bubble blowing), but I still want it on my terms, not his.

So, question: How do I get him to stop without saying "that's weird for ANYONE, and it's also weird just for you"?
