Of course it counts. Many mental trauma and disorders can be tracked down until childhood and teenage years. These are important development milestones that can be damaged forever if a trauma occurs. I feel you...I still suffer from the effects of bullying and harassment during highschool.
Wondering if I'm the only one with such powerful hyper-specialization that I cannot learn something which doesn't interest me ? I've been facing this issue for a very long time, but it seems to be getting worse as time goes. It could be a sign of AS, but I can't know for sure until I get...
Happy new year everyone :beer:
I made that meme yesterday (complicated new year eve :weep:) and I thought you'd all appreciate it. Feel free to use it !
(I know it misses an O but I don't feel like doing it all over again atm)
Also, a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome is possibly coming ahead...
Hey there, I'm not around anymore but I thought I'd come and see if that topic is still helping people. It seems to be the case, so I'm very glad I did something useful !
Things have been up and down here, but hubby and I started new plans to better manage my anxiety disorder. He'll also...
Not wanting to sound like I'm always complaining, but my best friend had to cancel her attendance to my wedding one week before the wedding day. She and I have been complete messes ever since...I had to increase my Xanax intakes to manage the increasing anxiety, I'm sleeping a lot, I have...
Wow, I never thought of the matter from that perspective ! Very interesting and relevant point of view, indeed !
It reminds me of something we said earlier on that topic, that somehow Noonien wanted to create synthetic humans, not just a random synthetic humanoid. He could have chosen to give...
Sorry for double posting, but I put my finger on something which was somewhere in my head. I had it somewhere in the back of my mind and checked it up...I knew Data said that line ! From Data's Day:
Does it mean he'd be more interested in building relationships with more emotional species than...
Vulcans would probably find him easier to interact with than humans do, so that'd be a very compatible pairing. Like you said, humans would be a possibility too, given that said person gets the whole picture about him and is willing to adapt to his nature. Betazoids may suffer from the lack of...
Yup...she failed to grasp the implications of Data's personality and nonhuman nature. She just projected her wishes on him, that's why I used that canvas analogy. Because her ex-boyfriend hardly showed emotional, loving attention to her, she projected that dream of an empathetic and loving...
Indeed...She was just rebounding on him, projecting things on him. That being said Data would certainly make an excellent partner if given enough time to learn and adapt, but his specifities would probably only accomodate a limited number of highly motivated humans. It would be possible, it...
YES.
That's my exact thought about the whole episode. He searched for models to emulate, coded a subroutine for the relationship, tried his best to learn from what she told him when she arrived with a present, tried his best to be a good partner and fill her emotional needs (the singing, the...
Oh he definitely is internally engaged in what's going on in his surroundings, no doubt on that ! It wouldn't make sense for Noonien to have developed a human-shaped, independant, sentient AI being who can only respond to one stimulus at a time without using live, real time environment analysis.
