| My son has low functioning autism and has attended special school since the age of four, since his diagnosis seven years ago he has learned to speak, make eye contact and dress himself (including taking off his own socks) although at a much slower pace than most 'average' children. He's also toilet ... |

Me too, I thought it was 'ex-dee' and couldn't work out what that meant. |

My mum's an alcoholic who manages to hold down a job at Tesco, I had very little contact with her as a child. I would describe my upbring... |

| I don't know if I can ever be accurate but I do 'diagnose' people that I meet, in the past two years I've met four people who I'm sure are undiagnosed Aspies, weirdly one of them seemed to feel a connection with me that he found uncomfortable - I'd catch him looking at me and when I looked up he'd l... |

| I don't mind Rain Man so much, but found 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' quite upsetting - parts of the film seem to suggest that families of autistic people secretly want to beat the crap out of them and only tolerate them because they have to. |

| I like learning alone - when I was doing Higher English a couple of years back the tutor was very keen on pairing people up to complete tasks and I found that a nightmare, I worked at a different speed from everyone else and the 'teamwork' element was lost as I'd be hareing ahead then sitting bored ... |

I never engage in truth evasion to con people, but am a very private person and rarely divulge info about myself. Yeah, I'm like this too, but if someone ... |

I've not had any alcohol whatsover since the 2nd of August last year. Thing is, I feel much worse for it and the things I would usually 'get th... |
