| Everything. With a sex education that was completely about how if you have sex, you’ll get these horrible infections and that the only solution is to remain abstinent, we never received any true education. I didn’t know what a tampon looked like until this year when I asked about it on a Discord ser... |

| I want to advocate for autism acceptance so much, and while it’s great that blacks and LGBTs have received more attention lately, it makes me mad that autistics are still kicked to the curb. I don’t know where to join an activism group; I can’t find any in Missouri. I want to be a part of a movement... |

No, not a problem. I find acting enjoyable; the opportunity to do it is rewarding enough. |

| I commented on that article saying that Asperger’s is a different way of being and a part of who we are. It’s not cancer. You can comment anonymously, so I encourage others to comment on that too. |

| Used to. Had my hippocampus removed when I was 18 so I’d stop having seizures and be able to drive. Wow, no way. How are you doing now? I'm guessing mine are also related to the hippocampus, as I have some psychic partial seizures. Along with sensory seizures. Probably others I am not aware of yet.... |

I’m not a very good driver, and the biggest issue is that I have absolutely no sense of direction because of my hippocampus that was removed.

| I did before I had surgery to fix them. I would start breathing heavily and be unable to talk. According to my parents, my eyes would roll back a little too. I think they’d last about a minute, although it was hard to judge time during them. After the seizure, I’d be exhausted. |

I don’t have any siblings, so it’s all on me if the family lineage is to continue. I also get the feeling that my parents know I’ll likely never f... |
