| I definitely have similar characteristics to the last two posts. I dread when it is announced a cleaning binge is going to commence because I just know there will be things I will never see again or find after replacing them. |

| More Autistic, autistic experts is a good thing. They are more likely not to start with incorrect assumptions and value judgements about what are successful outcomes |

With that said..... ---- It has occurred me that since the turn of the century, there is just too much vitriol in the American political climate.

Maybe. Depends on the individual female. Women are not clones of each other. Some are are turned on by other women some by multiple varied genders, so love extroverts, and some love shy boys and write songs about it.

| Autism for sure (I am self diagnosed asperger) as I do not appreciate the distinction, HFA is enough for the DSM (and I was happy with the change, hopefully the ICD follows suit). There is no such thing as HFA in the DSM 5. As far as I know there has never been an official diagnosis of "High F... |

As an autistic person I hate this, but every future prediction in any realm is a matter of if. I have seen soooo many sure things not happen. |

| If you mean that played by stations which focus on now and the past few years then the answer is no. I will hear good things on stations that devote time to older music.
