If I find something helpful I keep telling people in the hopes it will help them too. Unfortunately though it is not wise as people think you a... |

| Except for once I have avoided this thread bit I’ve really have had enough of this. If I was I company that had a quack product meant to scam autistic people I would go about marketing it pretty much the exact same way this person has. With a trait of being easily fooled by predators we are a entic... |

| It causes disabilities and very good abilities. But it is a strong disadvantage because the areas where it causes disabilities are heavily valued by the neuromajority and the areas where it causes high abilities are either not recognized by the neuromajority or they are so drawn to and value those a... |

| I've heard that a lot of people on the spectrum have a tendency to monologue--lack of understanding of social rituals leading to one-sided conversations. But I don't see this in myself; rather the opposite. I'm hyper-aware of social rules but I'm deathly afraid of mucking up; I did monologue for a ... |

I like this. Glad to see people are finding humor in a touchy subject. Wrong Planet can always use a little laughter. It helps. |

We have more trouble holding jobs which means we're less likely to have good healthcare and things like that. It has been shown that married people and people with lots of social relationships ... |
