| why? what makes them evil? Autism Speaks is to autistic people, what the KKK is to black people, and I'm not exaggerating that. They are a classic hate group. They believe that autistic people are destroying their happiness, and they want us off the planet, so they can be happy again. They talk abo... |

| I think the assessment sessions can vary greatly depending on who diagnoses you. You really need to avoid those that are not experienced with ASD. They don't know what they are doing. I also wonder if a "nurse" can diagnose you. I don't know exactly what a "mental health nurse specialist" is. Is he... |

| The "modern society theory" is a pet theory of mine also. Multitasking not good for humans and especially for us. Rise in social media/always connected that also is not good especially for us. I was "functional" enough 30 years ago. I am a similar person now as I was then but now but I am lot less f... |
