| It's not that surprising. Autism is associated with mental retardation by many in which genetic conditions come into play which would effect appearance. Fragile X comes to mind of autistic people having a certain appearance. |

| Nothing inherent in their autism. Female autism is sometimes less externally noticeable (less acting out, more blending in). It is also believed that females with autism often display traits later than males. I've heard it said females often have less concrete interests, but I have not noticed. I pe... |

26/100.
All of these words are non-words. They're mostly grammatical. They don't mean much on their own. Half of them I did not even think of but it submitted it when I was typing another word. |

i agree with stop calling it autism when it is an allergy or vaccine reaction.
if someone thinks their autism or their child's autism is caused by those things, fine, but don't call it autism. it wouldn't be it. |

| epsom salt baths -- there are no complications that I know of. they make cremes for kids who are difficult to bathe. you can soak your feet etc. instead of a whole bath. you can also put epsom salt and water in a spray bottle. do it before bed. |

I am quite positive you would not look good in makeup unless you were going for a look in an alternative lifestyle/fashion.
You look oily, at least your hair does. Fix that instead. |
