| Thank you for alerting us to this condition - - this was an interesting post to me, for sure. I have been doing this all my life, as does my father, who I believe has AS himself. How incredibly validating to hear that is an actual, known, and named phenomenon. Over the years I have learned to curb t... |

| Benedict Sechzehn (the former Cardinal Ratzinger) has to say that in order to avoid admitting that Humanae Vitae (the birth control encyclical) was a mistake. Oh, I do think he believes what he's saying. (I'm referring to his belief that condoms won't resolve the problem) That's the scariest part. |

| Hi KenM, I believe that for someone to truly enjoy the romantic company of another they should be compatible with you (at least to the degree that the level of the relationship requires). No matter how compelling they may be, if they don't feel the same, by definition, they aren't right for you. Giv... |

| Its difficult in and of itself to translate Stephen King's books to the screen. There is a quality of experience in them that is incredibly hard to capture, I think. Although, his tales are so masterfully written, I think that's a lot of the reason why his work is so frequently made into movies. I r... |

There are some strange/bad doctors out there.
Here, here...I second this.
If a practitioner can't handle your method of expression with ASD, it seems that they are unqualified to treat ASD. Time to walk. |

| One thing that I did was read books about autism. I found lots of examples of thought processes, symptoms, etc. that were already written and explained by someone else (not to mention some that I didn't know had anything to do with AS). I just had to identify them in the readings and jot them down. |

| I am against the death penalty in all cases. As far as I am concerned, killing one another moves us in the wrong direction as a species, from a spiritual perspective. Not to mention the fact that our society has not proven it is equipped to consistently and fairly determine who is deserving of CP, a... |
