| In purely my own limited experience with support organisations, I find them to be useless. I don't believe that any of them are run by people on the spectrum. Thanks liminal, Yes, I am aware of some research initiatives in the universities. Some of these have been women specific but no support netw... |

| Is your user name a reference to the ancient ocean? I am a big geography/geology fan. Hi Tim_Tex In a way it is, yes. I am not sure which was named for what. The ocean may have been named for the Titan goddess Tethys, wife of Oceanis and mother of all fresh water flowing into the oceans or the godd... |

| Therapists often have their own issues which is why they picked the job in the first place. By "fixing" other people they fix themselves. It gives them a sense of power and confidence because to do that they must not need fixing. That's my opinion anyway from some of the ones I have encou... |

| I like your screen name. It's a moon of Uranus, I believe. Hi Kraftiekortie Yes, you are correct. Also Tethys Sea in the time of Gondwana and Laurasia as well as the mythological Titan goddess, wife of Oceanis, daughter of Uranus and Gaia and the font of Earth's fresh water. She is a lesser known m... |

| I'm not new here but my new identity is new. I stopped participating in all forums for years because a counsellor was stalking me on them. He didn't attempt to hide it either because he'd ask about the personal stuff I shared, particularly from Wrong Planet and the women's, adult and relationship di... |

Raleigh, which are your favourite? What do you think of the Long Earth series? These have become my favourite, there is something in each character I connect with and I'd love a Lobsang as a travel companion.

Those 3 months taught me how to recognise what my body was trying to say when I craved eggs and yoghurt and h... |

Hi Raleigh
Sir Pratchett will live forever in the hearts of readers. Since the year he published "The Colour of Magic" I have been a fan.
Have you read many of his books?
