Well, I am Nicole. I am somewhat older than the rest of you. I hang out on this board because it is so comfortable. I am Autistic, like to talk on the phone, and obsess about whatever thing. Well, i can't help that. Feel free to tell me whatever. Note that i am bnot a doctor, so i can't help you with your emotions and that kind of thing.

Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by bookworm.nicole on 5/10/2011 at 2:58 PMWell, hello to you also. Well, you should check to see if you have Autism, rather than stating ot me that you are Autistic. i hope that you still have my email address from the last few posts.

Posted by EmergencyRoomNeuron on 5/10/2011 at 6:56 PMHello Nicole.
I take it from your username that you like to read? I'm an avid reader myself. In my spair time I read medical text, anything I can get my hands on. As to Sarah's self-diagnosis, She may be correct. I diagnosed myself with a psychological disorder and a physical disorder, (separate of each other) and was correct on both accounts. Although, I'm 100% certain that my knowledge within the medical field is greater then hers. To her credit though, from reading her posts I have noticed symptoms of autism as well as a few other things. I look forward to corasponding with you.

Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Thrill Monster on 5/10/2011 at 11:23 PMI read every day too. I mostly read about guide dogs, or I read horror stories. And I love horror movies. Neuron, I am sure you probably know more than I do about medical stuff. I read books a lot about mental disorders such as depression, ADHD, ADD, and Autism. Nicole, what kind of music do you like? I like to listen to rap, rnb, hip-hop, and anything else.

Posted by Wingman on 5/11/2011 at 4:42 PMWow I didn't know that thanks Joe
I only knew of a few writers for tv
You really do learn something new everyday
Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Thrill Monster on 5/11/2011 at 11:31 PMI didn't know that either. It seems like visually impaired people can visualize horror scenes in their heads better than some sighted people.I do anyway. lol
Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Wingman on 5/12/2011 at 12:24 AMI do too
Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Joe S on 5/12/2011 at 7:55 AMI believe he has Macular Degeneration or something similar. He rarely speaks of it. He was crossing a street over a decade ago and was hit by a car. It was mentioned back then. He has low vision, I guess.
A friend met him years ago and they spoke about my visual impairment. He wrote me a note and such, very nice.
There is a ton of successful persons with visual impairments out there.
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Joe S.

Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Joe S on 5/12/2011 at 11:22 AMI am not sure, but I know he is fine now. Couldn't have been anything permanent.
Enjoy your day!

Posted by randomness on 5/16/2011 at 10:32 PMHi! by the way if you do end up reading any Stephen King books The Shining and Salems Lot are awesome choices.

Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Joe S on 5/17/2011 at 2:50 PM"The Shining" mini series version was filmed at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. They have some memorabilia and such there. Neat place. I believe the actual film was mostly filmed in England. Can't remember though.
Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by randomness on 5/17/2011 at 10:42 PMCool!
Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Wingman on 5/18/2011 at 5:33 AMInteresting , I wonder if Misery was shot in that same area. It has some uncanny similarities to the shinings setting
Re:Well, Hello!
Posted by Thrill Monster on 7/14/2011 at 7:37 PMI haven't seen either movie.
