| A Kind of Spark is a great book and TV series about a girl named Addie who is autistic. Her character is played by an autistic actress and so are her sisters. It's one of the best representations of autism I've seen. |

| I don't need toxic positivity . I try not to dismiss or invalidate anyone's experience. I know we all struggle with things on a daily basis. I was just trying to get people to see if their autism or any of their autistic traits have been helpful to them or blessed them in any way. Besides, "Ho... |

At first, I was INFP-T. Then I was ISFP-T. I just took the test and it said I was INTP-T. So, you decide.  |

| I don’t like the idea of Autism being compared to pitbulls. I'm sorry. I used that analogy because dogs are one of my special interests and I think Pit Bulls are underappreciated just like autistic people are. I think you are coming from a place with good intentions. I get the message you are tryin... |

| It's a TV show instead of a movie, but it is so great: A Kind of Spark. It's based off the book by Elle McNicoll. So good. You can watch it on BYUTV for free: http://www.byutv.org/a-kind-of-spark?utm_source=byub&utm_client=android&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=share_2024&utm_content=... |

| It could be Cyclothymia, a less severe version of Bipolar Disorder, but I'm not experienced, so don't take my word for it. |

The only way for them to get to our world is by creating a portal which I always put in my backyard. The... |

| I think you're doing great. I'd say that you should give him the opportunity to go, but don't make him feel guilty if he just doesn't feel capable of going. For me, headphones help, but when I'm having bad days, they don't help as much and I shutdown. It depends on the day for me. I went to a band p... |
