Turtle, I wish I could say I read that whole thing, but I have ADD and I have a hard time reading long paragraphs like that. Is there any way you can split that in sections, and simplify it?
I do welcome you to the forum, hopefully we can get some of your questions answered!

As far as "treating" aspergers, it's really not about "treating" it per se, as there is no cure for it, it's more about learning how to live with all the NT's (Neuro-typicals) around us, and understanding our place in the world. It sounds you're just starting on this journey, so it's going to take a while but just remember you have time! Just deal with things one step at a time and things will get easier, especially once you manage to accept yourself for you are, which it sounds like you have. :)

Well you can treat it with neuro/bio-feedback, that's why I asked. You took the time to reply without even reading it, and then implied you will consider helping if I summarize for you? wow. thanks.

Most likely she read about the same amount I did at first, which was the first few lines. She asked for it to be summarized so you can receive better feedback. Long "walls of text" are very very hard to parse and get through for most people (including her, and me). By trying to break it out into sections, you're making it easier for people to help you with your question. I think it's worth the effort...

Well that is unfortunate for you that you cannot read 2 pages of text. I felt the details in the "wall of text" was important. I have read through that a few times sense, It took me about an hour to organize my thoughts coherently and it is very disheartening that people cannot take one tenth that time to read a long post. If you cant read for 5-7 consecutive minutes then I don't know what to tell you. :(

I honestly think you're going to get better feedback if you do the following:

1) Don't insult people, we're trying to help. We're volunteers here, and aren't paid by you or anyone else for the work we're doing. Instead of insulting the volunteer, try to see it from their perspective.

2) Reformat your post. One giant paragraph is hard to parse. The difference between 'parse' and 'understand' is important. By writing your entire post as one giant paragraph (aka "wall of text"), you're making it hard to parse. This doesn't mean what you wrote is hard to understand, though.

Think of things like a book, think of how I'm writing this response. I could have written it in such a way that it'd virtually all be on one line, or one paragraph, but it'd be harder to parse than something that is split up into logical chunks.

Again, we're giving this feedback to help you. Insulting people is a very quick way to just get ignored here - in which case your question will not get much of an answer.

Well I took it as you guys were saying I wrote too much, not that I didn't format my paragraphs properly. Sorry for the confusion.

I think your edit may have failed. Are you actually going to reformat it, or did you just decide to "delete" it?
