| One of the problems is that because autism can affect a person's ability to communicate, it is difficult to judge how much is going on inside their head. That is improving these days with different technologies and communication techniques, and with more understanding of autism so that people are no... |

| I'm an autistic mum too. My kids are 4 and 7, one of them shows some aspie-ish behaviour, the other seems fairly typical. I think if you are aware of your own autistic traits you will notice them if or when they start to appear in your kinds. Being an autistic mother has its challenges, but there is... |

| I thought that maybe employers would do a background check and find out. Find out what neurologists or psychiatrist's diagnoses me, and see what I post online. And discriminate even though they aren't allowed to. I'm pretty sure that medical records are meant to be kept confidential, it would surpr... |

| I think the way to develop an interest is to find something that appeals to you and then start doing research on it. A while ago, my husband started keeping tropical fish. I noticed that every time we went to the fish shop for supplies, I liked looking at the fancy Goldfish. I bought a little book a... |

These findings must be interpreted with caution, however, because fewer than half of the questionnaires were returned.&quo... |

| I'd just like to point out that the study mentioned previously to show that transpeople were not happy with their gender reassignment was dated 1973-2003. That's 15 years ago, and a lot has changed since then both in medical developments and in society's attitudes. Below are a few examples that I fo... |

| I found one on ebay, I absolutely adore it, it really helps my sleep and relaxation. I was very unsure whether it was going to be worth the money, but it really was. The person I ordered it from was less expensive that buying a ready made one, but since I ordered it they seem to have put their price... |

Of course, because we all know that every autistic person has a penis.  lol |

| I find that the more stressed I get, the more I spend time daydreaming as a way of escaping and coping. It's not intentional, it just happens. You mentioned getting a crib- it could be that having a new baby is causing you extra stress which is why your mind is trying to escape. Would that be someth... |

Over the last year and a half I have started listening to myself when I actually talk and realised that it is not so fluent as I thought. I gets words mixed up, I lose my train of thought, I p... |

You could easily switch it so that he is isolated not because of a physical deformity but because of his social difficulties. He has a special interest in roses, hence gets very... |
