| So, what, you're not "really" autistic if you can cope? The second you develop masking and coping skills, you don't count as autistic? That is pretty much what my diagnostician said to me: "Congratulations! [Your masking and adapting skills] must have cured you of your AS characteristics." I didn't... |

Are you in control of yourself once you die?
We can't really know what we experience or if we experience, is it permanent nothing or do we transition? So it is the ultimate combination of change with uncertainty |

It should have been done by now but I'm waiting on others to complete something they said would be done by now/ I know aspies are confrontation avoidant but if there ... |

| Areas of poor executive functioning, poor motor coordination and a slight speech impediment have had negative effects. A lot of negative effects are a result of non acceptance of perfectly legitimate Autistic traits and preferences. |

When the 1970s began, the US was still involved in the Vietnam War. At that time, young men were conscripted to fight and over ... |
