| IMHO the term Autism means something like "self-ism" or someone who is exclusively involved with himself (as opposed to with the world). This would mean, nothing goes in and nothing comes out (information-wise). Iformation can be anything like social stuff, speech, emotions, empathy. So no... |

| Whenever I'm really overloaded with information and emotions (or have to listen to too much BS), I get what a regular psychiatrist would call "psychotic symptoms". Like the language processing going completely down and me being unable to talk or understand other people in meaningful ways (... |

| I busted up laughing when I read this. If that is the worst news you will ever get, your life if pretty shallow. Some books are really great to use as kindling material for a campfire. So you're saying that these books and their authors should burn and rot in the fiery pits of hell? Agreed! Speakin... |

| I can't stand earplugs! When using them, my ears sense silence and drive the volume to the max and I hear my own hearth and breathing and whatever body function amplified x 1000 and it sounds like a hellish version of thunderstorm of doom! I sometimes play white or pink noise through headphones or s... |

| The problem is some parents read such books and take them seriously. You are very right, and that's sad, and also very poor book choice by the parents. But I've figured out for myself that I can't fix other people or the world. I can only fix myself if I'm really REALLY lucky. So as I can't help th... |

So this guy would take one of the many bananas, peel it, put lots of salt on it, take one bite and go UGH!! !! ! and would discard the ... |

| I have that. And it's painful to watch my own teenage moodiness and antics at times (painful to myself). I'm 35. It's not exactly being like a 14 yo. It's rather like being 14 yo when it comes to emotions and 100 yo when it comes to logic and wisdom. it's not exactly general retardation. it's rather... |

There are times when things are happening right in front of ... |

I'm pretty fast in logical thinking and executing tasks and talking and everything, but I'm really painfully slow in processing or digesting life events and (social) experiences. By slow I mean really slow. not like slow slow but a matter of years and deca... |

Even lamictal, which is a bipolar med, Buspar, which is not really an antidepressant and even fish oil. But I also tend to crazyness and am suspected ... |
