| Dear Problematic Entity: I'm not blind but i think otherwise i'm very similar (profoundly solitary). It's not that i dislike people, just that i find them quite stupid, and i'm allergic to their stimuli. Everything and everybody is (partly) stimuli. That's the shell, the vehicle. "Oops, wrong p... |

| I think this poll is missing a valuable option: "Would you want autism-free weekends?" That, for me, would be the ideal situation. I'd get all the plusses of ASD (independence from emotion-amplified preconceptions/genetic programming) with freedom from its cons (no emotion = no motivation ... |

When you post...
No, i didn't start as Emu Egg, i started as Infinice. When i mis-posted another users tag attached to mine. Your other info about gradually being granted to post more types of info is interesting but irrelevant. How do i root out the "emu egg" part? |

Tried to leave comment on your blog but couldn't log in (how can one have a password on a site one is visiting for first time? one needs to register first, right?).
Anyway- just a query- what do you read? |

| "I think it is a plus." I'm really not glass-half-full'ing you. As i said, "it's a plus when it's a plus and a minus when it's not". Let me give you a little example: my entire life. I'm so stimuli-allergic i've spent my life trapped in my room- no friends, no career, no hope (an... |

| (Ok- so to send a reply i only need to quote a bit of senders letter- bit indirect/obscure but ...). I don't do meltdowns- when stimuli level (originally internal or not) too high a circuit trips and i reboot... just stand there stupidly, while my brain, or another person insults me. "What I us... |

| This is to emu egg (sorry, can't figure out how to post this reply only to you because there no post link appears opposite your reply... arg!) Emotionlessness is a plus when it's a plus (trying to think clearly) and it's a minus when it's a minus (if you can't feel your own thoughts [as Damasio puts... |

I'm a capital G green and very interested in psychology and related subjects (sociology, anthropology, poetry etc.). Examples, I. Shah, Varik, Robinson Jeffers. Unable to consciously feel... |
