| Personally I think that the increase in diagnosis frequency, is due to better screening methods and a broadening of who might be considered autistic, now, versus say, a couple of decades ago and beyond. That’s what I think also. Also even until the 80s and probably also 90s was a huge stigma when i... |

But I would be very understanding if you requested the mods del... |

| Haha yes that too. Sometimes I forget I'm autistic. :P I always have a hard time picking up a new interest myself. :lol: I feel like autism makes our interests each take up quite a bit of space on the plate, I wonder if that makes it harder to pick up new ones because there's no room for them. :ner... |

| What a horrible way to go!. The few times I have touched something scalding hot is some of the most intense pain I have felt. They were minor burns over a very small area and that level of pain lasted a second or so. It is well beyond me to imagine the experience of being completely on fire. And he... |

The following song ‘Born A Women’ by Sandy Posey angered Helen to the point of inspiring her to write ‘I Am Woman”. In the last few years the song has been on many a top sexist and top misogynistic so... |
