| Yeah, as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) she's quite pro-meds and I remember reading something like "for ASD people videogames are drugs for the eyes". These two facts alone guarantee her my eternal dislike. why? just because you don't want to face your addiction to videogames doesn't make ... |

| I am also pro-choice. FWIW, why is it that the 'pro-life' people in the USA are almost always supporters of capitol punishment? Just for the record, I'm a pro-life American, and I'm anti-capital punishment. I also find it ironic that many pro-lifers are pro-death penalty. There's really nothing iro... |

No, I mean successfully. Technically we all exist in some niche until we die, but it doesn't mean we fit there. In 45 years, so far I fit nowhere. How so? |

That being said, if you don't fit the required superficial job description, then you should probably be looking elsewhere for employment. Then there are those who fit nothing, l... |

| It's nice to see the power of positive thinking at work, especially for a girl of your age. There are too many people who take a negative world view or choose to become a victim when bad stuff happens in their life. I applaud your outlook and encourage you to never lose it. Congrats Haley! |

| You're supposed to feel bad but 3-year-olds don't necessarily naturally feel bad...not even NT ones. Sorry, in this case, it really is patterning at first...NT or not.

| Practice,practice,practice. The things you learn how to do when you are very young become such second nature that you don't even realize how you are doing them anymore as an adult. Neither the NT 3 year old nor the Aspie 3 year old has the slightest idea how to feign, fake it till you make it etc. ... |
