While we're on the topic of mental disorders, what does everyone think about the theory that Duo has some form of ADD? As someone who has ADD (with inattention), I can see that he might.
Then again, I could just be projecting myself onto my favorite character. xd

To people who thing mental conditions are a fad: Asperger's is technically condidered to be a mild form of autism. It basically means that some parts of the brain developed faster than others. In my case, it was the part of my brain that deals with the senses that is ovwrdeveloped, while the part of my brain that deals with social awareness is underdeveloped. I've actually had tests done with a CAT scan and an MRI (that machine is LOUD! Even WITH ear plugs) and they show the classic readouts used to identify Asperger's. It's a REAL condition backed by REAL research, and it can NOT be cured. I'll have it for the rest of my life and it will NEVER go away, no matter WHAT medication they try to dose me with. The only thing that helps mitigate its effects is regular counseling, and I hate talking to people I don't know or trust. Maybe some of the mental disorders out there are fake, but Asperger's is not. It's real and it's not going away. I've done my own research on this topic, and these *points to text above* are the conclusions I've reached. I ask that you show a little more respect for those of us stuck with this pain in the neck condition. I want you to understand me, so that I won't be treated like a freak anymore....... I've had to deal with that for sixteen years and it finally started to let up about eight years ago...... I don't want to go back to that, ever. So please.......don't say it's not real.......I'm tired of being an outcast......and this is what I am........a 22 year old with a wierdly wired brain.......

That's an interesting theory and it could be true...But there are so many other reasons for the way Heero is. For instance, when you grow up how he did, then you'd be like that too! It doesn't have to be a mental condition. But I'm sure every one of those boys, if real, would have had one.
And I love the comment about L. That's definately true. 4laugh
And also, today, it does seem to be the trend to have a "problem." It's kinda sad...I'm glad I don't have any...besides being very weird and kinda crazy. (but we haven't proven it with tests. XD)

I've seen some people label Duo as being manic. I don't know what the supposed symptoms of that are supposed to be, though......
