| I am really confused. My psychiatrist suggested I needed to go for an autism assessment and that my schizophrenia/schizoaffective diagnosis needs to be reviewed. But all the information I have been looking at, I can see no link between autism and psychosis. Autism does not cause psychosis, so why d... |

| There just isn't that much news that's relevant to the average viewer so they fill in the gaps with utter nonsense. It's gotten very hard to get good coverage of local news because most of the stations have been bought up by major corporations that don't want to pay for local coverage. Has there ev... |

| Do people here have trouble with buttons? Im talking about buttoning up your shirts. I can skip a button. I can put my t-shirt on inside out too, I can have trouble putting my pants on, I can put my leg in the wrong pant hole. When I was in elementary school, my pants was on backward. LOL. Maybe th... |

| Mine fluctuates as is my sensitivity (how much something will cost me) and stamina levels (how much I can afford to take something). There are too many factors. Unaccommodated sensory dysregulation issues and pain, unfiltered processing environmental input that will take too much brain power to go ... |

| That depends on what time and where we're talking about. There was a golden age of sorts in the mid-century where there was some degree of integrity, but those days are well behind us now here in the US and there's been little to no effort to properly cover topics that are inconvenient to the owner... |

And when there are no conseque... |

| Personally I don't smoke pot anymore but I do believe that each person has the right to decide that for themselves. The same applies to alcohol; I don't drink but I don't want someone telling me I can't. If I don't hurt anyone it's all about personal freedom to live my life as I want. At the same t... |

For example the Australian broadcasting commission (ABC) required news readers to have an educated British accent right ... |

| And what does that say about folks that compulsively crap on them? The reality is that there is a portion of the autistic community that does have some ability that is so far above and beyond the norm that referring to it as a superpower isn't unreasonable. It is a bit of puffery, but not unreasona... |

| I'm really at a complete loss as to what these "superpowers" are. Loneliness? Depression? Anxiety? Being a slow learner? Doesn't sound like much of a superpower to me. None of those are inherent to being autistic. They are quite common, but hardly universal. And the first three might not ... |

Seeing how things are right now in the US, it wouldn't surprise me if Florida makes that the required way of frying things. |

| Merely where a murderer lived, why not? If it's potentially damaged or contaminated from their murderous behaviour I might be less willing. I don't really want to live in a home that's had a gallon of blood soak into the flooring regardless of the story behind how it got there. Yep, that being said... |

Never seen anything labeled "hand cooked".
Yep, that being said, I think it's probably going to be more common as more of the work is done ahead of time by robots. |
