| Hi :) I made a video about Autism. A lot of people have already watched it and sent me messages saying that they identified heavily with many of the issues and situations I brought up. My goal is to make people feel less like they are the “only” one struggling. Thanks. https://youtu.be/IaQeN-bJUYk |

| i assumed autism was some kind of frontal lobe damage, especially in an area called "mirror neurons"...these neurons allow NT's to comply and adapt to each other. because of this damage the brain rewires itself and causes short circuits in certain areas giving us heightened abilities in these areas.... |

| awh poor guy, someone should have raally contacted him online before all of this happened and tried to set him up with a girl. it's unfortunate how society is a breeding competition and the meek can be rejected so much that psychotic feelings start to brew... RIP George, i hope you have better luck ... |

| asperger's is a mutation on a number of chromosomes within our gene pool, asperger's could only be classed as evolutionary if we started to outnumber NT's, breed more than them, and then overtake them as the main human species on the planet, this is how evolution works, the strongest breed survives ... |

| thats fascinating stuff fog...so you mean that if, for example, one sanded down a lake placid blue strat (that's the famous one isn't it?) it'd be brown sunburst underneath? i realised the photo was a bit dodgy so i took some more: http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs097.snc1/4974_2071619... |

| Hopefully the paint wasn't laid on too thick, as paint/ lacquer dampens the resonant tone of guitar bodies. Too much paint will kill the tone of the instrument. Also, if you like the black pick uards, look around for reproduction bakelite pickguard as used by Fender from 1949 to early 1954. it was ... |
