asperger's and autism

The draft for the new edition of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) now officially incorporates Asperger's Syndrome into the autism spectrum. It's been (unofficially) considered a part of the spectrum for a while, but this cements it.

sometimes life is just.not.fair. :(

So, one of the ideas I was considering as my big bang, the Supernatural-meets-Red-Dawn-meets-War-of-the-Worlds? I just saw a nice, big, long story posted that appears to have a similar theme. Aliens invading, rather than the supernatural element. *sigh* It sounds awesome, but now I won't let myself read it until I've done my Big Bang because I HAVEN'T DECIDED FOR SURE AND DON'T WANT ANYONE THINK I PLAGIARIZED. *sighs again*

Yeah, okay, this isn't the end of the world. But it's definitely annoying.

On the up side, I'm watching Dragonball Z: The Broly Saga with Matthew, and just laughing over how silly this is. Though I do like Piccolo ;)
