I actually did a paper for a Women and Gender Studies course (I just graduated with a minor in such things) on how the current ASD diagnostic processes (how the criteria is evaluated and differentiated from other disorders) are inherently androcentric (male-oriented). I admittedly wish I had this th...

For those of you who study people very closely, or who have special interests that involve depiction of social interactions, do you find what you see applicable to yourself, and how easy or difficult is it to do that? The short version is generally "no." At most, maybe I'll pick up something vaguel...

I help out a local parents support group. My primary motivation is to genuinely help those people, but I must admit that the fascination of seeing NT parents struggle and squirm when talking about their issues with their AS children helps keep me going on weeks when I don't want to drive for 20 minu...

I thought it was pretty funny as a whole, but some of the kids tried too hard with the Asspee article (it feels improper calling it the Aspergers article). Then again, I grew up on pretty sick and twisted humor stuff like John Waters films. More notably, I think that,it's worth noting that a lot of ...

Ah. Okay. That makes more sense as I saw the forum for parents already. I'm actually very new to this despite having an account that's over a year old. I cannot outright imagine parenthood because it scares me at a fundamental level. However, I do help a neurotypical parent group (that have AS child...

Back to the original topic... 1)I think the age thing has only light merit. It is very true that more people tend to be at a more mature place in life at older ages, but, honestly, ready is ready. There are plenty of people that avoid accidents until 25. There are plenty of people that can handle re...

I'm not sure how this turned into a thread about sniping and details about taxation (though the latter is rooted in taxation in the constitution). But...back to the constitution... I'd eliminate the need for a census. It is a very inaccurate and costly process that would be better served by statisti...

I don't know whether the poll meant by AS Parents: "Parents of those with AS," "AS folks that happen to be Parents," or, in all probability, "Both of the above." I am neither, but I have AS and I help out a group of "Parents of those with AS" in my local community located in Fargo, ND. I was invited...
