i get to go get re-diagnosed with asperger's and adhd tomorrow. the asperger's thing is more of a reaffirmation than anything else, and my diagnosis of adhd is too old for the university doctors to continue prescribing me meds, so i have to go through testing to prove i still have it (cuz, yanno, it miraculously goes away after 30 years... so does asperger's?). i'm not sure why they need to re-affirm the asperger's, i think because it was officially added to the ada list of officially disabilities as of march. it's not like i ask for any accommodations for it, i mean, how do you? "um, i don't really want anyone to touch me ever, like, even to breathe near me. no seriously. don't be really loud... or too quiet for that matter, be 100% literal all the time and um... keep up the pace, will ya? you're slowin' me down! oh, and no social interaction, i just don't do that, sorry." i think at this point in the game it's a little late to adapt the *world* to *me* since i've been having it beat into my head for 30 years that it is *me* that has to adapt to the *world*... but hey, they want a lab monkey, a lab monkey i shall be.

i just hate this testing shit. i mean, haven't i danced this dance enough? just give me my drugs and let everything be merry. it's not like i'm selling them to college kids to snort to stay up drinking later. hell, *i* don't even get a buzz off of them like everyone else claims to. i want to be all hyper and bouncing off the walls when i pop an adderall! instead i'm all "okay, sweet, i can stand up without fainting and i can think an entire thought before the channel changes... MUST COSUME AS MUCH INFO AS I CAN BEFORE THIS WEARS OFF!!!!!" then justin finds me passed out on top of a pile of books.

oh well, i better go to sleep so i'm well rested to... not... pay attention...

i've been offered some pretty lofty prices for my meds when exam time rolls around. i prefer to not go to jail though, lol.

they actually can do a brain scan now that *shows* the brain activity conducive to ADD and ADHD, i was kind of amazed to find that out.
