I’ve been able to since I was 5 or 6 years old. Learning to tie shoes correctly was one of my earliest special interests. |

| I rarely ever have meltdowns (shutdowns are more my thing these days) I’m about as far from a picky eater as one could be, thogh there are some things I don’t eat/drink, such as salad and anything containing alcohol. I love hanging out with friends, so I don’t fit the anti-social stereotype. I don’t... |

| You probably shouldn’t be eating in restaurants right now at all due to a certain virus that’s been going around since late 2019. |

| These came out last summer, and somehow I don’t think it’s made its way here yet. It makes me gravely concerned for the future of the Autism Rights Movement. https://morenikego.com/memo-to-asan-2021/ https://my-open-letter.com/2021/06/20/allegations-of-ethical-misconduct-made-against-ari-neeman-june... |

| I agree with a lot of comments here that the eldest child could have chosen better language (even “you dumb f***” would have been better as it lacks the mysogynistic connotation of the “female dog” word), though I’m still wholly on his side of things. That Karen needed to mind her own business. The ... |

| Alas, right now we are not in a good position to fight back. The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network seems to have shrunk during the past four years. They seem to have a lot fewer chapters/affiliates now than they had back in early 2018, when I began exploring autism online resources and the autistic co... |

I had four driving lessons and could not operate the clutch or properly control the vehicle. The other thing that didn't help was the instructor... he was a compl... |

| Canada, if you can get in, is a much better option than the craphole known as the USA. We hardly have any form of social safety net here. The only things we have to offer here are gargantuan medical bills and religious extremism. |
