| I think that a general disability lawyer will be good enough. As far as the law is concerned, the difference between aspergers/autism and any other mental or physical disability is academic; a disability is a disability. |

| I think that this has a core of truth in it. High Functioning ASDs can (and will) appear normal at first, which means that when (not if) one of the autistic symptoms show up, they appear to come out of the blue. Also, the feeling that "something is off" is bigger to HF ASDs, for the same r... |

I am indeed. Online, i can read back to what whas said, and take my time fomulating what i want to say, with the delay being blamed on typing speed.
In addition, my difficulties in reading non-verbal cues is a non-issue online, since these cues don't exist online. |

NT normal.
In elementary school, girls are often called "icky gross", but that doesn't mean that boys in that age don't find girls in their age bracket attractive, in one way or another. |

It's just a thing that happens.
Many people that work in an office get bored during the day, and for some of them (for men moreso than women), one way to get rid of that is by being highly immature.
Don't think any of it, these things happen for no reason whatsoever |

Stimming really going away? i don't think that that is common.
Stims do change over time, and it is likely that the person chanes his stims into some that are not as easily noticable (tapping toes inside of shoes instead of fingers on he table, for example) |
