Freshman year would have been 1993 and early 1994, and Ron Lambert was a psychologist and therapist rather than a clinical psychiatrist. In light of that and the fact that everyone was assuming that the personality changes were part of traumatic grief, he probably didn't know.
Still, I seem to have done okay. I can't stand glare and bright lights, and flashing lights make me feel strange, but it's not debilitating. Uh. Well, if I take precautions against getting sun I don't get debilitating migraines. Which is close enough.
When I initially read about Sam's brother being an Aspie, and him having a lot of the same traits, I briefly entertained thoughts that maybe I had something similar, but eventually dismissed it because of how I'm a successful adult. Then TV had to go and give me successful adults with Asperger's to show me how flawed my idea of the cognitive difference was.
Stupid TV! >:( I will blame it for all of my problems.
