| I slept in, went to work expecting it to be slow but it was super busy, then went home to catch the tail end of Easter dinner, had a few convos with family/friends and then everyone peaced out to go home and sleep off their meals - perfect! I didn't have to spend very much time socializing & nev... |

| I don't know that I can legally claim being disabled if you know what I mean. I think I'd have to get some kind of official document or whatever say specifically that "this person officially qualifies as disabled" or something like that??? Depends on what the local laws of the land are, and what go... |

| I'm having a bit of a difficult time believing this is a serious question & not just some troll post.. but giving the benefit of the doubt: It's sex, the same as all sex done for pleasure vs. procreation. It feels good. People are attracted to each other. They enjoy each other in many different ... |

| I found it far better to figure out how to improve my fine motor skills than switch to velcro shoes, especially since most velcro shoes are fugly. As much as I don't really care about fashion, I still can't bring myself to wear something that I genuinely think looks horrendous, and almost every velc... |

| How many people actually refer to themselves as an Autie? (does anyone know where that name started just out curiousity) How do you pronounce "autie"? .. :? The etymology of "Autie," is pretty simple. It's a shortened form of the word "Autistic." It's pronounced like the first syllable of "Autistic... |

| No, I would not, as I've never been sexually attracted to fat or obese people - not even when I was overweight myself. I have fat/obese friends & family members and have no particular problems with them, but I wouldn't date one because they're simply not my type & sexual attraction/aesthetic... |

| It's certainly not unheard of, especially since ASD people are more susceptible to stressful traumatic events messing with them. There are many possible coexisting conditions. There are several common ones (ADD, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, and the list goes on.), but almost infinite possible ones. (Every o... |

Could mean she's not as interested in it as she thought, or that it's simply different than she expected. Might mean that she's there to please someone else and never really wanted to be th... |
