What I mean to get across is that most Aspies I have met in life share one thing in common, they are ge... |

| If there's no biological purpose to something, it generally doesn't last very long. Good point.

| If you are in your teens or early 20's, I think it's hard to feel close to your family. I didn't start feeling close to mine until my 30's. I don't think it's all because of autism. |
