I think you should go, but I do have a few things to say. First, I do think there is significantly more autistic women than the world thinks there is, they just get different labels slapped onto them. If you want to seek out such women, look for mental health groups, the disabled group would likely ... |

I've come to find that most my social difficulties come not from direct symptoms of autism, but from social anxiety. My anxiety is like a gate - when it's closed, it acts as a wall, but once someone opens the door I pass right through. I'm probably very socially awkward, but from experience I've tha... |

I was just coming to post Comfortably Numb. So, I guess instead I'll post a Pink Floyd-esque Tarby song: http://www.youtube.co... |

Good luck with the Octopus!
I never really left, I just gradually stopped frequently the site as I no longer felt the need to. |

I'm working on a novel where the main character is an autistic octopus girl. I've finished the first draft for the first part. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in being a pre-reader. That is all. |

What criteria do you use to drawn the boundaries between metal vs. punk rock, alternative rock, progressive rock and hard rock or other guitar based music you feel metal overlaps with? If OP would like, I'll cr... |

I think the autistic person is simulanously more gifted and more disabled. They can go much further, but may also be more restricted in other areas. |
