Ecuador Cubensis.
Although, your definition of "improve," may vary wildly from the visual-spacial perception enhancements these create.  |

Doesn't mean I take them seriously, either.
...the truth is out there.

| Shadi2: I've shared my story in the link in my signature. I've included quite a bit in the OP and discussion that follows about what symptoms I had and how things have changed since. I find your comments somewhat insulting. You're suggesting that the autism symptoms I've experienced my entire life, ... |

| If I had any attraction to big muscular guy's I may be inclined to compliment them. Even if they're heterosexual, they'd probably take a compliment as a compliment, especially if it were about the build they've obviously worked very hard on. You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, that's...not usually how i... |

| I highly recommend the next time you see your therapist that you ask him or her to explain the difference between complements and crass statements, as well as how to accept a compliment vs. having compliments trigger unreasonable, illogical, fears and anxiety. |

| A year ago gut theory was around but considered an outlier. For a scientific theory to go from being considered a debunked outlier to mainstream in less then a year is astounding to me. Its actually quite normal for a theory to go from apparently on the outskirts and laughed at to accepted wisdom v... |

| Although, I will admit, my skepticism often does have a strong emotional component. In all honesty, the idea that ASD could be gastroneurological vs. primarily neurological is quite unsettling to me. I've become quite accepting with the idea of my brain being different, but feel like it would chang... |

| Believe me, I still had sensory sensitivities, special interests, and a lack of a grasp on social interaction back when I didn't consume as much dairy. I felt healthier, but I was still definitely an aspie. I know this from life experience. I've consumed nearly zero dairy for the last 19 years. I'v... |

| Y'all are nuts. Compliments are compliments, it's really that simple. Some of the posts here seem to be bordering on heterophobia, if that's such a thing. Oh noes, a heterosexual man said nice words to me.. eek, I'm scurred!! Nuts. |

| The reason is that this thread is about how to date, initiated by a man. Almost immediately a man suggested that he go harass random women. Much of the rest of this thread has been about why that in particular is a bad idea. False. He suggested that people strike up a friendly conversation with a s... |

| Hmm, his reactions to these things could be impulsive meltdown reactions that are in fact part of his AS. And I suppose he's not all bad if it's a meltdown or freakout every couple months or so. But still, even though I've behaved like that a bit in the past & realize full well that it's likely ... |
