Thanks, everyone! 
I knew I could count on you! I'll make good use of this!
...though, since this thread is here, I don't mind if it's transformed to contain resources we'd just like to share with each other...  |

| This is why homophobia still exists: Churches and religion still exist. People take the bible way too seriously, which was written by a bunch of people thousands of years ago. I don't feel like talking about all the things that make it ridiculous, but you can look it up. There is LOTS out th ere th... |

| I have never really understood this, except that unfortunately there are many people who just need excuses to put down others. Being gay (or queer, or transgender) hurts no one. Besides, sex life and love life are very intimate areas of life, so discriminating someone on basis of anything belonging ... |

| Usually, if it's someone I know I'm going to deal with regularly in some level, I will tell because I don't take eye contact. I just say something like "I'm aspie, I can't make eye contact" and leave it at that. It's enough, really, people know what my "weirdness" is about and d... |

| I consider it case-by-case basis, but I am pretty open about it. The way I see it, if there's nothing to be ashamed about being an autist, why would I behave as if it was some dirty secret? I find life with my limited social skills easier if I don't have to spend energy in hiding. I find people's re... |

| As far as I know, one (if not THE one) reason for combining old diagnosis under umbrella diagnosis of ASD was, that there are plenty of people who didn't fit neatly under any one diagnosis and had trouble fitting in those narrow boxes known as Asperger's, Tourette, ADD etc. In that case, it's less c... |

They are people who truly, consciously think that white people are superior and non-white people are lesser and... |

And a therapist maybe once a month or so, because there I can rant, ask second opinions or clarification to things that puzzle m... |

Because that's one weird but deep-running part of American culture. 
More seriously: why are so few people "crazy" about peace and kindness? |
