| What I find odd is how members rarely talk about their underlying condition. An autism diagnosis is based on behavior. However, there's an underlying condition causing this behavior. For me, it's brain functioning problems (brain damage). I had come to realize early on in my life that something was... |

| What do you mean by (near) anonymous posters? Is it that we communicate here through usernames? Anyway, about the advice. I think we offer advice because people here often ask for it. As most of us here are on the autism spectrum, we have lived our entire lives with autism and are relating things th... |

Although some sources say the Taos Hum wasn't first reported until 1991, there appears to be a legend of the hum dating back many decades before that. Here is an interesting article on that.

| I can't hear any hum where I live, but that comes as no surprise considering a semi-busy two lane highway in addition to typical neighborhood sounds. Here's an interesting NBC news article from 2013 on the phenomena. https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/mysterious-hum-driving-people-crazy-around-worl... |

Although I know many autistics would take such a cure, I would not. |
