Don't feel bad, but I've got to tell you it doesn't make sense to me.
I do wear a large hat, though. |

They say "person with autism" because they mean "person (except for autism)". It implies the person with autism can have the autism removed and end up a "real" person.
Or that's how it sounds to me |

| Why would you want to be with someone you can predict? That's exactly like being alone, except noisier. |

| It's the side effects. The need for analysis, social hesitations, the paranoia are all much worse than the "symptoms". The primary effects are why I am respected, why people expect and look to me to have the more creative solution to an artistic problem or the more logical solution to a practical pr... |

| I'm 5'11 and weigh... let's see... 145lbs with my clothes. Or, 180cm and 66kg. I'm underweight, but only to the extent that people call me skinny. I enjoy eating, but it's such a pain that sometimes I'll get caught up in something interesting and put off lunch till dinnertime, or dinner till tomorro... |

| Probably not the solution space-wise, but I've curbed myself almost solely to buying used and Goodwill books. Not only are they only like a dollar then, a lot of them have great old illustrative cover designs. I've got a few hundred too, but not an unmanageable amount yet. |

| Stranger in a Strange Land, the Dune Series, the Ender series (haven't read all of either series), Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut if anyone still calls him sci-fi. The list goes on, but those pop to mind first just looking around my room. |

| If the pharmaceutical companies were to blame for the lack of research and availability of this particular controlled substance, frankly, I can't see a reason. Yes they're greedy.

I like "f**k you" but it doesn't really help anything.
Any clever response will do no good, because "you have a bad attitude" just means "you aren't being meek enough toward me." |
