Well, the OP hasn’t posted in nearly 12 hours. We can thank Jaysonlee4, Spokane_Girl, Warsie, KingdomOfRats, CockneyRebel, myself and others for keeping this thread alive.

well I'm saging this thread from now on......

.....oh wait; wrong software

But I DO like it here on WP! This is by far the BEST Autism/Aspergers community out there. Im not trying to be intolerant or mean spirited, I just happen to have a Very Extreme case of Coprophobia and I can hardly stand to be around babies and tots cuz they're not potty trained. BTW, how common is incontinence among people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders? PARTICULARLY those with AS/HFA?? Of all the Aspies and Autists that Ive encountered online and offline, NONE of them had incontinence. So this whole thing is fairly new to me because before reading this thread I never new that such was an issue for Autists.

That's good. I am glad you are not bigot like since you have the same problems being around babies and young children too still in diapers.


I don't know how common it is in autism disorders to be incontinent but I don't know if most LFA's are still in diapers. I have only heard of a few cases of some autistic people never being out of diapers. I read the average for an autistic child to be out of diapers is at age seven. But I know some are potty trained earlier and some are potty trained later and some are never.


TBH, there have been things out there that grossed me out too because someone was severely deformed and even the Jews in concentration camps grossed me out because they were so thin. I knew they were literally dying and it was gross. But luckily I have developed a strong stomach so I don't feel so grossed out when I see something deformed or different like with someone who was badly burned. I think lot of people are easily grossed out by deformed people or by people who were badly burned, etc. but it makes me mad when they act intolorant about it.

oh they are erroneous, except the idea that is not just higher functioning and lower functioning as HF/LF is equally erroneous and out of date. I would say he is well capable of making that deduction even if he is not capable of assessing somebody elses functioning.

Well, and now you can thank me too...

Whatever the intention (or lack thereof) of the Original Poster, I learned a great deal from this thread, and I'd like to thank the responders for making the effort to post informative, well-thought-out answers. Definitely gave me a lot to think about.

I was late in acquiring speech. When I starting speaking, I referred to myself only by my name, preceded by "the".

Ditto. I'd like to again thank everyone for their educational posts. I learned a lot about LFA from reading this thread. Which, BTW, is the only reason I kept reading past the first few posts. I usually just ignore trolls.
