They charge a few hundred $ to publish your book and make it available as a print on demand through their website and various other resources. I'm con... |

| Wow. I was thinking I have rarely seen a person below about 12 on that chart. :lol: I wonder if it's a matter of perception. I'm not a racist in any shape or form! I'm simply trying to find out which populations are more susceptible to Autism and Asperger's, and even more importantly: Which populat... |

The only time when handwriting is necessary these days is signing your own name. I can write neatly for only brief sentenc... |

| I went with Yellowstone, though Italy/Greece and remote cottage were high on my list. I'd consider McMurdo station, but it seems more like prison than vacation. Nothing to see but frozen desert and a few mountains, so it would be a rather boring week. Working there would be different. I just google... |

Just for the heck of it, what was the best book you read on Aspergers and what was the worst book you read on Aspergers? I know I can che... |
