| In this hypothetical, your autism can now be a trademarked brand. By your autism, that can be whatever you think of as your autism. It can be strictly medical autism spectrum disorder symptoms like sensory differences and repetitive behaviors. It can be how it plays out in your general life like sp... |

I don't understand how people can simultaneous know they don't understand jackshit about someone else's situation but also lecture that person on their situation. My brain can't do that sort of doublethink and it's almost impressive to watch someone engag... |

| I just want to point out two things. First, it's so true that with "profound" autism, it's the intellectual impairment at play that makes the autism seem "profound." I've known severely autistic people who were socially engaging and gave eye contact. But the ID with their autism... |

| I know right?! ! ! It's so infuriating! It's a good example of those situations where you can either laugh or go completely ballistic. I try to stick with laughing and explaining "the joke" to the other party like they're very stupid. I find sometimes rubbing people's noses in their own s... |

| It is hard for most people to understand something they can't see, like disabilities of the mind. One of my friends got seriously sick and had to have his legs amputated. He is happier without them! They didn't work properly before and had to get around with a wheelchair or a pair of canes before t... |

| Yes that is very true. I understand that it is a steep learning curve that requires a great deal of patience, and I have a lot of that. But what bothers me the most is when someone knows and admits that they know absolutely nothing about Autism at all yet they have such huge and strong opinions on h... |

| I was talking to one of my younger ski coaches the other day. She is a very good ski coach but she does not understand Autism at all. And she admits that she does not and that she is just learning, which is good and I really appreciate. She is also very willing to learn and I love that about her. I ... |

| Other than going to see a counselor one-time many years ago, I've never tried therapy. I guess I never knew how to go about it and worrying it wouldn't help. Not to mention the expensive, as I am sure my insurance would have a high co-pay. When I was going to counseling, it was $80 a session. I sto... |

| Good to see that somebody's fired a health professional. Too many people see them as some kind of authority. I can't judge the merits of this case because I don't know what was said. But ultimately I think the customer is always right. She basically asked me if I had incestuous feelings for my brot... |
