How is everyone getting onto this writing forum? I've checked the links in this thread and they don't work. At least, not on my computer.

I have just begun to upload the second in a series of fanfiction stories about the Star Wars universe, featuring a mysterious condition similar to autism. I would love feedback and readers! To check it out, go to fanfiction.net, and look for the author "Shulamith Bonderovsky." And to read my non-fan...

What product or products do you find yourself using the most on a daily or regular basis? I am doing an economics class project where I experiment with investing in the stock market (not using real money, of course) and I'm looking for some guidance about popular products to invest in. Please try to...

I'm honestly not sure how there can be much debate about this. Up until relatively recently, no one even knew what autism was, and people with it were put in insane asylums, which were often horrible places even for people who actually were 'insane.' Even during the last century, one of the prime wa...

I'm writing a star wars fanfiction that deals with the introduction of autism/asperger's into the galaxy, and the social reaction to it (plus other issues and new characters). I would appreciate fan feedback, although it's in the early stages yet. Go to: fanfiction.net Search: Star Wars: The Order- ...

I've begun writing a star wars fanfiction on fanfiction.net. It features many issues, autism awareness/pride is among them. I'm still setting the scene, but there's some interesting ideas, and you don't have to like star wars to be into it (although it helps to have a fanboy/girl with you to explain...

To anneurysm: First: It seems like if these people are as unsuitable as you say, people won't want to hire them, and they won't book many gigs. I don't usually care for the free market, but it may be best to let it sort this one out. Second: You say you want to portray individuals on the spectrum in...

First of all: autism/AS is your identity, there's no getting around that. That's not to say it's better than being NT, often it's much more challenging. But just because something makes your life harder doesn't make it a disease or a disability, otherwise we would have to include being female, nonwh...

Sweetleaf: Look, I can't control what other people here say, but just because I like my neurology doesn't mean I hate anyone else's. To me, that's like equating feminism to manhating, or saying that marching in a gay pride parade means you think being straight is wrong. Honestly, I don't know why yo...

Apparently, certain studies have surfaced that allegedly link the antidepressant Prozac to cases of autism, when the drug was taken while the mother was pregnant. On the legal commercials where I saw this, autism was listed with "other birth defects." Is anyone on this site into autism pride/awarene...

You could try starting by researching the ways autism/AS has been portrayed, both in our culture and in stories in other cultures, including mythology. If you're looking to write fiction, that might work. If nonfiction, try to focus on retelling one specific anecdote from your own life where you thi...

I don't mind if we have dialogues and debates with Autism Speaks, because there are things we can learn from each other and movements that don't try to understand and communicate effectively with their opponents (and that's what Autism Speaks should be at this time) get dogmatic and stagnant. I like...
