At the time I was intending on continuing to work and stuff. But I at least needed it for ADA accommodations to be lawf... |

I dunno if it's a super strength or super power.

| An overly simplistic deduction between ADHD and ASD; ADHD minus Executive Dysfunction is just personality. That one cannot exist without the other. Autism minus Executive Dysfunction is still Autism. Because one can still exist without the other. I'm aware some people here will be mad. :D Well. See... |

Never been directly.
There was a court case involving a crime committed against me as a minor.
I also once did some photos as evidence in a court case. But they rejected them as evidence since I wasn't present to testify that I took them. |

No. Up to the people involved.
Like you need to be responsible and all and while I am becoming Catholic I do not agree with the official teaching that "only sex open to procreation should be practiced". |
