| If you wait until 18 you can ask your clinition to not write a diagnostic report. Without that paper the diagnosis is not official meaning you can not receive benifits or accomodations but it pretty much eliminates the possibility of anybody finding out if you keep the diagnosis to yourself. |

| Expect anything. The amount of clinicions who understand adult autism is quite low. If the person is competent your poor ability to express yourself will be taken as a sign you are on the Autism Spectrum. It is also likely you will not be diagnosed with Aspergers which has not been an official diagn... |

And he got very personal when belittling oppenents. He was not running for President but his job was to fight people. He cheated on women ... |

| I'll be plain. Autism awareness is important - no doubt about it. But I see no logic why we, or other minorities deserve more or less rights than anyone else. I are it from Airman Basic to Major with my own hard work and effort and no one's help. If I can do it, so can others. Some people cannot ju... |

| For all Trump's railings against illegals being prone to criminality, and lacking American values, I think it's widely understood that illegals is just code for Latinos among racists. Illegal is not a race, skin color or ethnicity, it is simply a character trait of dishonesty. You have a rather viv... |

| A lot of good explanations. I interacted with a lot of NT's because most of my life I was forced to in order to get anywhere. I had no idea that NT's existed never mind that I am not one. Just thought correctly I was a abnormal human. Interacting with people 98 percent of them NT's taught me that th... |

| What I find ironic about the Asperger's removal from the DSM, for years I had seen high functioning ones say how it shouldn't be a disability, it's a next step in evolution. Well, they got what they wanted. They can keep the label and celebrate it while the rest can have autism spectrum disorder. I... |

| Why is it a bad thing to move all DXs to ASD as we now know it is one spectrum It made a bad situation worse. The DSM IV made a mistake in making Aspergers a seperate diagnosis in the first place. It should have been a subcatagory. Aspergers was a very helpful explination for autistic people that w... |

| The reason Aspergers was eliminated as because it was felt that the Aspergers disgnosis was bieng used to diagnose people that were not autistic and this was costing school districts and insurance companies money. This is not me theorizing, it is what members of the DSM said. Why Claim Aspergers Is ... |

| While I note Donald Trump made a nice tweet in reaction to Ali's death I have a fantasy in which Ali in his prime has a trash talking contest with Trump. It obviously was in a very different context but Ali was more direct in charges of disloyalty and just plane verbally vicious then Trump. |
