| My perception is that people with disabilities in general are under-represented. It's still a huge stigma for a person in authority to be open about anything like that, especially if it is "hidden". Politicians aren't supposed to find anything difficult, they like to present themselves as ... |

| Yes, if I'm anxious I will repeat a word or phrase I've just said over and over. It's like getting stuck in a loop. Sometimes I have a tendency to say things quite loud as well. I just nearly shouted a word from a sentence that was supposed to stay inside my head. Followed by "don't shout don't... |

| I have never seen a girl date a nice guy. All the nice guys that are made fun of online are made fun of because they are fat. And for some reason, those "nice guys" are the ones who refuse dating overweight women. Double standards ?... :roll: Can't tell you how many ads and profiles I've ... |

| Why do women date men with traits commonly held to be sexually attractive? It is truly a mystery. And, of course, I bet you've never lusted over a women with less than average intelligence but big breasts? Or whatever. Truthfully though, I see people with mixed body types dating all the time.

| Not at all. I could ace maths exams without studying, or paying much attention in class at all. I think I slept through half of my sixth year, still got an A :-p One of my Aha! moments regarding autism was reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime". At one point the protago... |

| I agree that there is an element of a self-fulfilling prophecy about it all. Personally if there is any change of plans my mind instinctively goes to all the ways the new plan will go wrong. If that happens all the time, well sometimes you are going to be right. On the other hand, groups of drunk fr... |

| There's a lot of *speculation* regarding mass killers. Possibly because autism is widely associated with being "weird" or "anti-social" now due to increased awareness. But I have seen no proof that there is any solid connection at all. Regarding Elliott Rodgers, he did not have A... |

Seriously though, I think by now most people on here have made their views on Autism Speaks clear. Any further general threads like this are just redundant |

Somebody's liberty should only be deprived if it can be *proven* to be in their best interests... but there's lots of ways that institutions can bend the rules. It's so easier in cases of a power imbalance for ... |

Why don't your family like them?
If they ask to come over just say no, sorry, your family don't really want guests or something like that. You don't have to let them come to your house even if they do know the address |
