| I don’t think you’ll find too many Autistics who are interested in conventions, a good many of us don’t like large crowds and loud noise, or don’t hate those things but can only handle them for short periods of time. |

| I’m against large age gap relationships because their existence generally makes dating harder for men in their 20s if a significant chunk of the women in that same age group are dating men old enough to be their fathers. |

| I’ve also heard an alternative name for PDA, “Pervasive Demand for Autonomy.” Sounds a lot less medical and scary than “Pathological Demand Aboidance.” |

| An Autistic person not having a strong opinion about Autism Speaks is like a Jewish person not having a strong opinion about the German Nazi Party or a Black person not having a strong opinion about the KKK. |

| This sounds like the Lawyer version of The Good Doctor. Do we know if any Autistic people had any input in developing the show / main character, of if the actor playing the Autistic lawyer is themself Autistic? |

If you actually read OP’s post then you would know that homeschooling is illegal in Spain where they live. |

| I think there could definitely be a sensory aspect to this as well as possible jealousy. Perhaps something to do with the sound of eating mushy foods, or the baby's crying? |

| I love to sing, and took a few singing lessons when I was in high school, though I never had a great technique. Couple that with me having a baritone voice and a love for 80s rock bands like Bon Jovi and Journey and you get permanent vocal damage…my perfect pitch gone to waste. |
