| Well having really read the entire thread below literally before I saw your question I still don't know. There isn't someone for everyone The thread discussion was informative (over a 100 posts), hilarious, and sobering. Nevertheless, there seemed to be one consensus that waiting to meet someone is ... |

| Just watch the movie. It's not a happy ending. The thing is if this subject isn't discussed, nothing will improve. Both NT and Aspie have to work at it and be willing to do extra things (whatever that may be) otherwise it will not work out. I did watch the movie and I thought the exact opposite of ... |

The article mentions ABA therapy in the article, which is considered abusive by a significant part of the ASD community. The following blog post by an former ABA &quo... |

| But what relevance, if any, are you implying is attached to the tone used by Drake? I'm not inclined to make assumptions regarding the depth of feeling others might experience when discussing something which offends their sense of right and wrong. And yet, it's irrelevant how strongly averse Drake ... |

| One possibility in the long run would be to scrap men's and women's sport altogether and replace those crude categories with more accurate ones. That could allow more people to flourish based on technique rather than just strength. I haven't thought the practicalities through, but that's probably t... |

Quote: If I am eating out, my GF sometimes offers to take the offending items off my plate so she can eat it. I have just found out that she does this even if she doesn't want the food.
I think that's poetic and kind of cool.
I double check everything myself. I am ok with it. |
