| My dad watches RV Life, a 'reality' TV show where couples switch from traditional homes to RVs. It's interesting, albeit a little boring. Shows like this tend to follow the same sort of outline. In this show, the couple is shown three different RVs and then decides which one they want. However, it s... |

This is sort of tangent to your topic, but I'm always interested in the history of medicine. I love to see how diagnostic manuals have changed.
It's interesting to connect the advances in medicine and changes in culture. |

| I personally don't care The responses to this poll have been very interesting. The main feel that I've gotten so far is that either we don't care because why should we care, or we want to be called an Autistic Person because it is part of our identity (and because grammar). The interesting part is ... |

| Here's the only concrete example I can describe well. When I was younger and I went to see the Ice Age movies, they would always start with that little squirrel trying to get an acorn.

| I feel like I have a *mild* eidetic memory, but perhaps my ADHD gets in the way. I can script very well. If someone tells me something, no matter how long it is, I can repeat it right back to them. However, I often don't understand what they've said! This was actually very helpful when I got my firs... |

| High-functioning is a deceptive term because it suggests that you function well, whereas sometimes I can barely function at all. I almost feel like when I tell people this that I'm not fighting for myself. I feel like people have worked so hard to show that people with Autism can do whatever they w... |

Great to know that there are people that understand. I appreciate both of you so much. |
