| I am still trying to figure this all out and not sure what quirks I have are autistic and what aren't. I have always considered myself to be a morning person. I have a few good hours early and then I am done for the day, frazzled and mostly worthless. Occasionally, if I am hyper-focused on one task ... |

| I just want to say something about traveling to the USA and traveling abroad in general. You need two things to travel: 1. A passport issued by your country of origin. In the USA the Federal Government issues passports and they are good for 10 years. 2. A visa issued by the country you intend to vis... |

Have you read The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts?
I read it about 35 years ago and thought it was profound. There are so many schools of thought out there. You can learn a little about a lot of them or delve into something that resonates with you. |

| I don't know about literally the wrong planet but I can't count the number of times I have told people that I think I was born during the wrong time period. I would prefer a simpler time with less distraction. Life is just too complicated. If The Doctor were to show up he could take me back to a sim... |

| I will have to see if the college here would do that. I am more sure today than I was when I wrote the original post. When I filled out the ADI-R for my daughter's diagnosis it made me think about my early childhood. I think I didn't know that my daughter didn't do imaginative play because I didn't ... |

| Besides the openly Autistic who are excuse makers you see the opposite end of the problem here on WP many who have been told feel it is a lifelong curse which will doom them to never having sex, relationships, employment as well as endless bullying. The issue for me is that is why should the parent... |

| I just want to add one more thing. In junior high school kids become very mean. If your kid doesn't know he's autistic, he may just think he's a freak. Before we knew my daughter was suicidal from the bullying and not fitting in. I would rather have her alive and making the occasional excuse to get ... |

| We adopted my daughter at birth and my husband would not let me tell her. We finally did when she was 13 1/2. It was only because her psychologist said we had to and to be convinced, he had to discuss it with her psychologist. She is 14 now. When her psychologist told me my daughter was autistic, wh... |

I'll let you know what they say because, literally, we must be related. Let me know the outcome. We just had my daughter diagnose... |

If anyone is going to get hurt it will be me. The more general stress in my life there is, the more likely it is that I will have meltdow... |

| When Bernie announced, I thought his intent was to pull Hillary to the left. The Democrats also needed a primary to stir up excitement and get people involved so they will have a GOTV machine for the general. It's nice to see Rubio fighting fire with fire and I look forward to Trump going off the de... |

So I went on my merry way. Recently, I was told that my 13 year old daughter is HFA and I started researching. I've had a lot ... |

Maybe I'm cynical but remember when OJ got off for mudering his wife and his family sued in civil court and won? I don't live in CA so I wouldn't have heard anything on the news. P... |

| I took the test with the ice cream truck and was lost. Too many people and places all at once. But I ADD and can only keep track of one or two things unless I write it down. |
