| It's not unusual, but you'll have to deal. He wouldn't have brought her in if he had anywhere else to bring her; it's temporary. Cope by finding another space for talking to clients. |

| Hilarious. Collection of Asperger's men can't see what women are complaining about, decide there's no problem and that they themselves are the victims. Bet nobody saw that coming. |

| Well...I mean the factors people are mentioning here do often lead to un/underemployment, especially if the disability is severe, but not always. Yes, if people want you to show up regularly and interact with others, you need to be able to do that well. It's not trivial, it's because people have to ... |

| Only if they're giant and obviously giving a distorted view, like that one was. That's a bad piece of propaganda. Because it wasn't promoting the message that you'd prefer? It was a very simple graph accurately showing two sets of data over a period of time, illustrating a point I was making; all t... |

| This truth about guns would be a lot less truthy if it counted gun deaths, rather than gun homicides, and included the rest of the world's stats for context. And had more than four points on it. That sounds an awful lot like a selective demand for rigor to me; are you also going to scrutinize all t... |

| Hey glebel, who are the people that want to ban all guns in the U.S.? I have never heard ANY proposals to do anything close to this. I think the closest I've ever heard from someone in a position of power is Senator Feinstein and she's never proposed anything like that in the senate. I can kind of ... |

| Well, hang on. You say she's you're girlfriend, but you see her only on weekends, and then only if things aren't going on with your parents or friends. So maybe you see her two or three times a month? Most people in relationships see each other much more often than that, even if they don't live toge... |

| Men with autism are more likely to be systematically rejected ( more often than not rudely without explanation as I too have experienced multiple times ) and treated negatively by women, so that creates a negative or fearful image of women in many men with autism. Multiple men with a negative or fe... |

| why do people have to be mean to each other? She's not being mean. She's trying to say, politely, that she knows he's interested but that she isn't. For her to come out and say she's not interested would be confrontational and rude, and she doesn't want to do that. She also knows that guys will som... |

| The parents deserve compassion AS WELL, not exclusively. That article didn't mention that the child might be having a tough time too. And that's the only news piece to do with autistic children, it's not part of a larger conversation about both autistic children and their parents. Every article mus... |
