| Just a few weeks ago I made a post on Autism Acceptance in the past 2 decades. We made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go. This video further cements that. RFK thinks Autism is more of a burden than a blessing and thinks we will forever be a charity case instead of someone who contrib... |

| Season 3 is finally out! I watched the first episode and it was nice. The added a new girl on the show who actually lives on her own, but has the traits of Abby and Dani with her childlike obsession with dolls and Disney, but is very organized and seems very accomplished as a 24 year old woman. As s... |

| If the games are good I think it will sell. I agree I wasn't expecting the games to be that expensive, but once I get my new job in line, I should be able to afford a switch 2 and the games. |

| The fact people fear a 3rd term of Trump shows how far left the democrat party has went in that last decade. Trump is pushing 80, but still has the energy of a 40 year old. I think Vance is what Obama was to Biden. Both are the vice president's that continued the legacy of the president they worked ... |

| I personally don't see it as a bad thing as long as they have a way to compensate for it. Mississippi isn't the most desirable state to live in, but having no state income tax would bring businesses over. |

| Yes and No. For a society and community to function, you do need some kind of rules and regulations or you would end up with a chaotic mess. Too many different opinions, ideas, lifestyles, etc. leads to many people being confused, feeling they have no purpose, depressed, etc. There is a point howev... |

| The bible is a very deep book. It takes a lifetime of studying and applying it in real life scenarios. For those on the spectrum, do you find children's bibles more digestible to your understanding? Even highly intellectual neurotypical people, struggle to understand the Holy book. Some maybe bible ... |

| Churches are just starting to understand that we exist and some of us have the ability to understand spirtual matters. As a lifelong church- goes and someone whose been a born-again for 14 years, I don't see too many churches that have ministries centered around neurodivergent people. I did go to a ... |

The switch proved that Nintendo can still remain relevant in the console gaming space post-wii. The Wii U was def... |
