Ask Lyra

Dec 27

1) Then he’d have to move in with me.

…

You didn’t think this through very well, did you?

2) No. .oN

3) Because this isn’t a fairy tale and you aren’t Goldilocks.

4) I can’t think of any reason why not.

…

Oh wait. Yeah I can.

No.

1. You have to understand that most Asperger’s cases are still higher-functioning special ed students. A lot of what I deal with are severely Autistic students that can barely write if at all, can barely hold a conversation if at all, might not be capable of learning their own address, and in one case was completely incapable of making a decision of their own. Asperger’s, even in more challenged cases, can talk, know or are successfully learning basic arithmetic, reading, and writing, can go to the bathroom on their own without needing to be reminded or monitored (unless there are other conditions present). Asperger’s, Cerebral Palsy, and the emotionally disturbed are as close as I get to an average student most of the time. As far as self-diagnosis, the real danger is when you self-diagnosis for something that involves taking a strong medication. Either way, I don’t favor the notion that one with mild disorders (mild being the only way you’re going to self-diagnose before somepony else diagnoses for you) should lean on their disability like a crutch. Don’t just say, “I have this so that’s my excuse.”
2. If that’s a reference or song lyrics, I don’t recognize them.
3. Tomorrow.
4. I’m going to guess that’s part of a bit, since I have no idea why you’d be saying that to me.

1. Johnny was phone.
2. No.
3. Yes. Unlike our CYOA main character, I remembered to pack a toothbrush.
4. Now that you know, you can start acting like a nice pony!
5. D'aww. Thanks!
6. Where you’re the only member.

I might start doing this if I get a bunch of little asks so I don’t spam anypony’s dash.

illipony-blog-blog asked: You're all wrong! Illidan hugs are best hugs, because I don't give any.

That doesn’t sound like a very good hug to me.

A good hug must be accessible without hacks or exploits.

theblackstrawberry asked: Lyra hugs are best hugs. *hug*

A hug by any other mare is just as sweet.

hornuraakemi asked: Did Sweetie Belle and Tootsie enjoy it as well? I'd hope they did.

They seemed to have when they came back today.

Sweetie was a little disappointed that my present for her wasn’t ready yet.

pegasus-cloud-kicker asked: HA, you silly filly! I am not trying to turn you into cheese and I like you when you get angry at me. It's kinda cute! You appear not to deny the "Doggy" style liking, so does that mean you do?

Yeah? Well I don’t like being irritated, believe it or not.

And that means I’m not commenting on it. I get enough ponies asking things that are none of their business.

theblackstrawberry asked: Hmmm... only 5 hugs... WELL! IM GLAD THERE ARE NO TIME LIMITS ON EACH HUG!

Strawberry…

hornuraakemi asked: Mine was pretty great as well. It was finally the first one I could spend as a family and with another pony, so I'd have to say it was my best one so far!

Glad to hear it!

hornuraakemi asked: Hi Lyra! How was your Hearth's Warming?

It was great! The best I’ve ever had!

How about yours?

Anonymous asked: *Throws a lust potion at you*

theblackstrawberry asked: Hello Lyra, I heard you were giving away hugs? I'd like as many as I can please.

Limit five per costumer!

Anonymous asked: Don't you mean "No mare, I have a bear"?

This is not a Doctor Seuss book.

pegasus-cloud-kicker asked: How aboooout nope! We can still go out, too! It will be fun! You can get your bear, too.. And your friend BB! It will be one big pizza party! We could all get drunk, too! That sounds like fun, right?

Nah. You’re kinda irritating to be honest. Your only interaction with me seems to involve trying to cheese me off.

pegasus-cloud-kicker asked: Okay, okay... Then I will just wait until you do! I will get drunk in BB's house and totally do whatever I will do.. I'm already drunk, but you want to go out sometime, Lyra?

No, mare, I have a boyfriend.

If you realize you’re drunk, maybe you should stop posting until you’re sober again.
