| ^ Asymmetry in faces is a sign of ugliness..... Besides, what kind of falsification you're talking about it here? there's no typical physical characteristics for autistics or AS, it's not like the William' Syndrome or Down Syndrome... Facial symmetry is what often defines photogenic faces, this due... |

He ended it badly, so I'm not sure what I'd do if I ever ran into him again...Phoenix is big, but it's not THAT big.... |
