| my answer is that whether or not its logical, it is real, because i have been there, so for my own purposes, I know what happens when a person dies.

i'm one of those pro home schoolers myself...

| Hi there, I don't have much more to offer you except to endorse DW a mom's excellent advice - it really does sound as if he's crying out for help and drawing attention to himself in these anti-social ways in a desperate attempt to get help with his difficulties. Also - please, please avoid bringing... |

| I'm an NT, and I simply don't understand the anti-NT attitude. that certainly changes the game of making sense to the thread. Autism is called a spectrum because it's a wide group of people with different personalities, and neurotypicals are the exact same way. There is no clear-cut boundary betwee... |

| Is there any study that shows any relation between asexuality and autism? yes. No. It depends. Asexuality is an interesting term which has little to do with the actual psychology. Everybody has more or less sexual interest depending on a bell curve. Nobodies truly asexual since we all have sex orga... |
