I was getting ready for bed, and I looked at the container of dental floss on my shelf. I saw a little logo that said 'ADA' on it, and wondered what on earth the Americans with Disabilities Act had to do with dental floss - then realized that this ADA stood for American Dental Association.

I've obviously been reading a lot about autism and other disabilities lately.

Now convinced that I'm a bit autistic, but still unsure if I'd qualify for a diagnosis, since it causes me few problems. Apparently people who are familiar with the autism spectrum can readily spot that I'm a bit autistic, though.

AMA = American Medical Association
AMA = American Motorcycle Association
For me, motorcycles get first-billing.

I am not sure, but I probably would not have thought of American Dental Association either.
