| Wouldn’t recommend marijuana. Made me intensely paranoid and anxious. I would even go so far as occasionally psychotic, I actually heard voices that were not there but fortunately never became delusional with it like in schizophrenia. Everyone has to do what works for them I suppose but think if you... |

| Not specifically autism rather those with atypical brains and suffering from mental illness/ disability in general. The problem as always is there is an element of truth in that the worst people in a society i.e peadophiles, serial killers , child killers and active shooters all tend to have atypica... |

| In the UK there are foundation courses for those with more severe forms of autism ASD 2&3? / mild ID. They teach basic living skills & usually follow on from special school after 19 To be honest since many are unlikely to live independently anyway, let alone find employment, it`s probably a ... |

| So, they support them in words, repeating their narrative. But the crucial part is not words but electronics. With Western sanctions, Russia is unable to produce and repair high-tech weapons. They buy drones in Iran, another already sanctioned country. I doubt China would like to join that club, so... |

| Lots of over generalizations. 1.Aspergers doesn’t exist anymore unless used as an informal casual label 2. Aspergers /asd 1 is undefined biologically so just an umbrella term to describe multiple conditions, causes and severity levels 3. Some have gifts others don’t have anything 4. Some are highly ... |

Presenting a spectrum condition as a fixed generalization is the definition of an oxymoron.
Also there is no scientific evidence that curing someone’s impairments leads to them losing any talents they may have. |

| Men are programmed to like women this way so they get attracted and f**k them to have a baby. But this has never left men so hence misogyny. Women want took good but don't want men's attention. Always been a rapist cliche "she dressed like that so that means she wanted sex" But feminists ... |

| This debate on sexual objectification of women misses two things:- 1. Men are biologically hardwired to physical attraction and the physical nature of sex if either gay or straight. Goldfish21 confirmed this when he said ( quote )“ As a gay man, we sexually objectify each other’s bodies all the time... |

Are chippendales and women who pay to see male strippers not sexually objectifying men?. Many of these strippers are groped and leered at by older women they don`t find attractive.
Most do it for spare money only |
