| The late Amy Winehouse was often described saying and doing whatever she wanted without regard to social conventions and not understanding her celebrity She also was easily taken advantage of. So maybe. |

| The idea of ABA in most cases no matter much it is drenched in positivity is to change you into as neurotypical as possible. It often does what they want in the short term, long term well into adulthood there is just not enough study. I can't fathom how changing your natural behaviors long term won... |

| I notice a lot things people don't have are Aspie stereotypes. If you have a IQ of 75 you are probably not going to do well in school. The core traits are going to present differently in different people based on personality and other factors. |

Yes I have the issues and these Executive Functioning deficits are common in Aspergers.

| I lived undiagnosed through a several decades when there was a very strict definition of what was autism. The strict definition was not the result of cynicism but lack of knowledge.

| You seem to be confusing climate with weather. Weather is harder to predict because it can change hourly. Climate change is about observing trends over long periods of time. As others have posted, these scientists are talking about trends throughout decades, not predicting the weather next week. Sc... |
