| Two years of therapy later, I can notice my own feelings if I pay attention. Ah, this just made me realize something. I am always confused when people say autistics have a low EQ like Pepe just put a few comments before. Reading that, I thought no, I am hyper empathetic. Of other people. But I neve... |

| I see a clear distinction between those two: 1. Banning someone from expressing opinion on topic X because of Y 2. Finding one's opinion on topic X less valuable because of Y I think you should never ban someone from expressing opinions for reasons other than violating agreed rules of discussion; Ho... |

| Magz : The difference is that radical changes in fashion in history occurred as a result of natural contingencies which weren’t the doing of any one man or corporation or group of corporations. How do you know it? And why do you exclude suits from this phenomenon? Today, there are people whose sole... |

| Please, link actual study papers, I can't dig through whole portals, I don't have infinite time. No one in the first 32 years of my life suspected I could be autistic. I'm a typical "female type Asperger's" with enormous masking abilities. Does it mean I wasn't autistic for the first 32 y... |

| Prometheus18, we had this conversation before. Abrupt shifts in fashion have been present in history. The 18th century -> Regency transition is quite a strong example. I live away from anglophone school systems and people around me wear suits only occasionally, unless their work dress code is very s... |

Does any study show gastrointestinal treatment helps with social intuition? |

| https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5408485/ The heritability of ASD and autistic disorder was approximately 50% among Swedish children, suggesting that both genetic and environmental factors play important roles in the development of ASD (Hallmayer et al., 2011; Sandin et al., 2014).

If I rephrase it to:
It seems you come from a family with strong belief in superiority of their ways and high regard for their distinction from the majority.
would it still count as a personal attack? |

| Our disagreement is unlikely to be a cultural thing in the broad sense; I live in the UK and you live in Australia. We're also about the same age. No, I suppose the only difference is going to be upbringing - I won't make any assumptions about you yourself, but simple probabilities dictate that, as... |

| Hi, After recently figuring out with my therapist that I'm likely high functioning autistic, and that in public I'm acting, which is how I've always felt, I'm not sure what is under the mask, or where to begin figuring it out, I'm like an actor playing a role, but not knowing what the actor is like... |

| And your medical degree is in what specialty? If we had ignored all the discoveries made by people without formal education, we wouldn't even have fire. Yes but I would like to see an independent study confirming it. Especially, I would welcome an attempt to test weather it is about autism itself o... |

| Dude, you have a girlfriend. A "girlfriend" is a pretty broad term that ranges from regular dating to living and raising children together... so I would say - it depends. FWIW, living together, no kids. That means there is quite a lot to lose, rearranging all your lives. Probably way too ... |
