| I read through the story a couple of times, and I'm not seeing anybody announcing they've got anything new, or reached a new stage in the trial or approval process or anything. Just two corporations combining/trading what they've already got, with the hope that future progress will be faster than pa... |

| Got my license as soon as the law allowed. Loved driving. I'd still love it if sitting still in the driver's seat didn't bug me... why can't they make car seats at least as good as office chairs? And why do they go out of their way to make it more difficult to get your head in a comfortable position... |

A "camper van", i.e. a Class B Motorhome.
Drives like a regular van, with living space in the back. I can travel and never check into a hotel. I can be out and about for the day and not have to drive anywhere to get back to "home base". |

| Who said living has to have a point? Living is the point. Living is everything we've ever known, everything we have any way of knowing about, every point we can have or hope for. And it's our imagining of things we can't have, and our regret for things we used to have, and our speculations about wha... |

| He's a bit of an arse hole, but he DOES remind me of Aspies at my school, but I find him easier to tolerate than the Aspies at my school because never have I watched an episode where he would actually blame anything on Asperger's. No, he tends to blame it on everyone else being stupid compared to h... |

Of course there is no such hole, and if there was it p... |

| In addition, the restricted/repetitive behavior domain is not a list of things you can't do well. It's a list of behavioral tendencies which are usually judged negatively. However, many of those traits can actually be neutral or positive. For example, pretty much everyone with a PhD has an intense ... |

But if some people would like to cure their AS, up to them and it's their own c... |
