| I used to think about suicide all the time too. Still do sometimes. When it gets to about an 8 out of 10 on my scale of "I'm doing it at 10", I call a crisis number, and some cops pick me up and put me in a safe place, no restraints, all voluntary. Call 911, or your local emergency number, when it g... |

For the longest time, I thought "dawn's early light" was "donderly light" whatever donderly meant, I had no clue. The brain learns words, not by the words themselves, but their sequence in sentence... |

Hypocritical to bash when one does not like being bashed.
Not all of the people are NTs out there. Consider them pre-diagnosed instead. Not everybody has their diagnosis tattooed on their forehead. |

| In the past, before I realized it was AS, when I had a meltdown I would call a crisis hotline. Because intsead of stimming or screaming or whatever, I held it all in, and the energy converted into suicidal feelings. So from holding it in, I called help so they would pick me up. They would pick me up... |

Don't try starting a conversation or 20-questions with me.
Don't call the psych people to "handle" me -- I can do that myself. |

| Yes it happens to me too. Here's why: If I look sad, and someone notices, and asks me "what's wrong?" I won't be able to verbalize what is wrong. Maybe 2 hours later I will have an answer, but not in time to make conversation. Also, people see a frown, and they say stupid one-liners, "smile!" "cheer... |

To play a role in a film? Can't find any other way where faking it is a benefit.
There is no real reason I can think of to fake autism in everyday life. It's too complicated to fake, and there are zero benefits from faking it.
It is not typical of any NT to fake it. |

First! posts
those face banners that when your mouse goes over them, they go "omygod!"
grass lawns -- plant something else, something not requiring mowing -- except for sport areas

| I want to see the candidates play a game of Risk, televised. Or at least Monopoly or poker. Candidate-lympics. Tests for reading comprehension, IQ, ... other stuff. Cornball stuff, but if they can't do the cornball stuff, no way they can proceed to play with fire in the White House. |

If you get to be 50 years old and want to do the university stuff, do it then. I think it is that you don't have any long-term goals, and they simply ar... |
