| Yup bizarre, that's the book I linked (I so dislike the fact that links are well-nigh indistinguishable from normal text on WP, or is that my browser that doesn't like WP?). How did you like it? Anubis: I dunno, it's possible. I don't know enough people to generalize. As for myself, I think I'm less... |

| Here it is. I'm interested in the topic but I would prefer not to read New Age mishmash. I've found the reviews on autism books on Amazon quite worthless, as lots of parents will give five stars even to the most horrible titles in my opinion. (Science fiction reviews are reasonable, by contrast.) S... |

| I don't think the consensus here seems to be that he should be left to his own devices. I didn't say that myself, either. I gave real-life examples of how one might cope. I am frankly quite puzzled over this entire "credit" business and why it seems to be such a big deal. I've never lived in the US ... |

| Wow, Tron and autism? Really? I didn't know about that. I've just been meaning to watch that movie because it has Bruce Boxleitner and Peter Jurasik in it (and because it's a classic about computers I never got around to seeing). |

| What?! It took me TEN MINUTES to realize the news bite was referring to this article , one I have read before . Let me tell you this is a very botched writeup. The original article I linked only speculates upon the possible reason of the neurological findings they found; they make that rather clear.... |

| I think that if absolutely felt like you needed to post some photos, it would've been better if you posted them in the locked part of this forum. But I'm not even sure posting photos of other people's private property without their consent is legal. For all it's worth, my dorm room doesn't look much... |

| Nope, it's an adult drama series. (Though I acknowledge that my knowledge of H. R. Pufnstuf consists of having skimmed its Wikipedia page.) |

Sometimes the archive files have something entirely different in them than wha... |

If this reassures you any, I'm 23, female, still a virgin, and I've never had a boyfriend. So you're definitely not alone.

I liked the Ketchup Song, I admit it!!) but by and large I hate the stuff on the radio. Especially since it could be so much better with so little effort, since there is ... |

| There is a Canadian TV series called ReGenesis that has a canon Aspie character. A very nice woman (NT, children with AS) recommended it to me, and I've gotten ahold of the first two seasons, but I haven't started watching it yet. I think I will like it because it's about scientists and it looks at ... |
