I'm not entirely sure whether this is the correct place to post this, but I'm in the process of editing a book I've written where the main character is a 20-something year old woman on the higher-functioning end of the spectrum (very much fictional, but based loosely on myself and some of my experie...

Gary Bell from the cancelled TV show Alphas has to be my favorite portrayal of an autistic individual in film, although the series itself is not about autism.

Although it can be annoying when the people who know you'r...

I love the smell of cedar and pine, many flowers, lasagna baking in the oven, mint, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon, lavender. Smells I find repulsive include many fruits (peaches, mangoes, p...
