What's it mean that the real world hasn't been good to you - problems lately? or is it just an expression?
Yeah, just, issues. With people and things that I'm just not ready to handle right now. I'm a little overwhelmed. |

| Several things seemed normal to me until I noticed patterns of people pointing out certain things over and over (with or without them realizing it). By nature I'm completely oblivious to how I present myself to people, it's just like me to live my life inside my head not worrying about pleasing othe... |

| I too love odd smells. Love the smell of gasoline and tar. Lots of other random strange things I can't remember right now. My favorite smells are probably cinnamon and cloves, though. |

| And last, but not least, autism isn't extricable. The statement "I want to cure you." means "I want a different person (a neurotyical person) to live in your body." And as for that crap, I'm going to take this definition from Mirriam-Webster: "2 a: recovery or relief from a disease b: something (as... |

| Yes it does. It's called freedom of speech. It's in the constitution. And if someone else hears this and is stupid enough to decide that they need to kill their autistic child because of this, then Autism Speaks can go ahead and get sued for it. But until then, it's that womans right to talk about ... |

| One, how can a person tell she's NT? (Even if she's not autistic, there's lots of ways to be non-NT without being autistic.) Two, NTs were among the examples I gave of people who sometimes smile when nervous, fearful, upset, etc. Just because autistic people often cover it less well than usual, doe... |

| She's SMILING while saying that... Smiling is a common primate response that, contrary to popular belief in some particular Western cultures, does not always have to do with happiness. It can also be fear, grief, or an expression of submissiveness. I used to have (and sometimes still do) a problem ... |
