| A stat like this is senseless BECAUSE: 1. Many HFA/AS, etc... autistics will certainly be employed 2. Some Classicals won't because they are affected too much. 3. SOME will not REALLY be ASD! This will drive the REAL statistics DOWN! 4. Others that are ASD won't be in the statistics. This will drive... |

I woke up in the hospital asking where he was and the internists said he was in another ambulance. And I said "He's dead, isn't he?... |

| I was confronted, by two people, because I stood the same way NTs often stand. When I one day pointed to a guy that was standing THE EXACT SAME WAY, and I said JOKINGLY that HE must be racist because I was accused of it when I stood the SAME way. The room gasped, because they saw him as the most gen... |

| I still use the old Aspergers term as I think lumping it in with autism was more for the convenience of those making a living off us. At any rate, my definition of Aspergers is a neurological variant presenting with a faster, more complex, or more sensitive neurology. This theory explains the vario... |

Is anyone so naive to believe that having 1 month a year (or all 12 months for that matter) where we attempt to education the public about autism and telling them to accept us will really make a difference and that they will no longer think we are weird, and... |

I saw one of the suits. I could not see it handling the 20+ pounds of pressure. I don't even know if much that they claim c... |

Or I'll look through a magazine starting from the back. I'm not entirely sure why I read backwards. So... |

I ask because at times if my father and I argue, he will say I am on another planet or not same place as the other guys, also years ago the doctor said oh he's lost on another planet. I so... |

In these instances, can't confuse that they are speaking with someone else, so why do they do that? What's the point of saying my name when there is not practical need? WOW! I th... |
