Friends, I have had an epiphany today.

A mirror has been held up in front of me today and I saw myself staring back.

I have picked up something of an admirer lately, an acquaintance from way back. Like me, she has Asperger Syndrome. Unlike me, she is higher functioning. She has become rather clingy, messaging me on

Facebook quite often. I'm at a loss at what to do about it. I don't even want to be friends with her. Not really.

And then I remembered how clingy I can be. How paranoid I get when people I know don't get in touch for a while. How much I ultimately depend on others. No doubt I

myself have made people feel this way in the past. It's rather sobering.
