| SteveK, I do not usually tell anyone, but......My father died when I turned 12 after a serious 4 year illness (osteo sarcoma). I had older parents of European descent, btw. My father was neurotypical; a successful charismatic man with kindness (he understood me and was probably more kind than anyon... |

Are you and she monozygotic? If so, how different are you from one another, etc...?
I'm just REALLY curious.

| Actually, I think you have it BAD! :D I don't think most get THAT excited, etc... but it isn't a bad thing, certainly. BTW I think most DO find history boring. So YOU have different interests. Don't let that make you feel bad. I wish *I* was that on fire. BTW how old are you? Just curious. Steve |

WOW, I didn't start to feel old(Physically) until I was like 32. The HMO said it typically starts around 30. Admittedly, my ears DID start getting plugged. I just have to think about that more. If I failed, they COULD get infected.

| Does anyone notice that their autism actually worsens with age? Mine certainly does. When I was growing up and my brain was still expanding, I slept a lot, behaved oddly but I did not feel the worst effects like the running mind or the meltdowns. Now that I am in my thirties, and far more aware of ... |

| I USED to in the REAL way(Like knowing I have to do something in 15 minutes, and being able to do it without checking the time.), and that IS an autie/aspie thing. In the way YOU mean, it is an animal thing, and most people have it to some degree. I use an alarm, but I usually wake up before it. I c... |

GEE, that they CONSPIRE is funny!
That they do this against another is funny.
The funniest part, and perhaps the aspie part, is that one worked out how to have it affect another, related it so, and it was understood!

| LAX is not that bad. I have family in LA and I've been through there about 10 times; it's just an airport. I'd say you have nothing to worry about, if your son is 20 (which is how old I am), he'll be able to take care of himself unless he is low functioning. LA is big but that's what maps are for. ... |
