Plants are hard to resist once they get their tendrils on you.

wiipedia has a specific essay page on how to deal with its autistic/aspie users.

I went to an IKEA store for the first time last year when I was in the city.
I was impressed that no salesperson came anywhere near me.

Nice essay, but there's more to HFA than being socially inept that makes it a disability... then again, it's all relative

I'm not pro aspergers and I'm not anti aspergers, but I have aspergers. I would rather live in a country that allows you to be either than live in a country that forces you to be either one, and if you don't reconsider you are sued by the parents. I swear living in a country that forces you to believe how you should treat people with autism is just out of my league. If I were to trip on a staircase should the building owner be sued because I have aspergers? No, the owner should be left alone and be allowed to carry on with their life. I personally believe aspergers should be more silent than open, so that there isn't so much vulernability and exposure for the people with aspergers who just want to move on in their lives without any trouble, and the moment I say that someone may ask whether or not I should do something about my aspergers. Here's my response, I just don't care about it, and let's talk about something else. Dan Harmon is okay, but I personally prefer Trey Parker.

The trouble with autism is it's really hard to pinpoint what help you need exactly.
And on some days, more help is required than on other days.
Or it's the thing they least expect that I have trouble with.
Or I really want to be left alone.
Or they just blanket it all and treat you like an idiot.
Or they tell you to take a pill and deal with it.
None of it really helpful.
How exactly do you deal with your autism?

If someone tells me to deal with my autism, it feels like they're suggesting I should kill myself because I can't make it go away unless I'm dead.

I am not sure how one deals with autism either?
Give it a good talking to and send it to bed without any supper?

I have just returned from a dog walk in horrible weather.
It is nice to be sat here with a lovely warm cup of tea.

Nice to see you too CloudClimber - it gets terribly quiet around here when Raleigh is away.
Nice to see Mr ZZZZ's too. And others I have forgot to mention.
