| Thanks, everyone, for the invaluable input. I'm tending towards not continuing formally diagnosis - I've been scrutinized and screwed over horrifically by insurance companies and Social Security, and generally feel I'd rather be the captain of my own ship rather than be cargo on someone else's.

Is there any economic advantage to having a formal diagnosis? Tax break, medical reimbursement, or the like?
I'm trying to justify the cost of travel, screening, etc. But other than being told what's plainly obvious, is there a point? |

Not to be a jerk - but the sooner you accept these and move on, the better. Sad truth is many people don’t wish nor do they care to know about what is going It cuts both ... |

| Sensory processing issues. I have a theory. Hear me out. My theory is that all autism stems from an abnormality in the way the brain processes sensory input. Aspies develop coping mechanisms to varying degress, ranging from some "overcoming" the abnormality so well that they do not report any probl... |

| I know that there is no English Language Council regulating grammar, but there are some thing up with which I will not put. (Guess what the first one is.) Perhaps I'm slow, but shouldn't the first post have used thing(s) plural? Is there sarcasm which I am not getting? A point I am not getting? ---... |

| They are. They are hunting, they will kill other hunters, or prey they cannot have.. Evil shows, their goal is to catch prey, play with it in their claws, make it go out and support them for long enough to raise their cubs. They will spend twenty years torturing their prey, driving him to a heart a... |

| It made me wonder, if we become less able to have high tech things because of the weak dollar and the expense of dwindling fossil fuels, will it be up to the aspies to get all the old style tech skills up and running. I'm writing this from back in the hills and can say that the old style skills are... |
