| Seems like there are more males in the area than females. Is this in fact true or are the males simply more vocal/outgoing? |

| Are you looking for simply a diagnosis? I can recommend a very good specialist who can probably give a diagnosis with a short, face to face interview for a few hundred. If you are looking for a full evaluation with several standardized tests, levels, etc it would be more. His office is in Orange Cou... |

| I believe it is because the only people who get to speak are celebs, doctors with lots of degrees, or other people who are already famous. Doctors can describe symptoms or diagnosis but they can't really explain what autism is or how it affects thinking, feeling, etc because they simply don't know. ... |

| I have Asperger's and I compete in the special olympics (as a coach). I coach but there is a category for unified teams which consist of a team of half coaches and half athletes. Each state and city may be a little different, but it is a way to compete as a "coach" and not as someone with "asperger'... |

In the movie he is identified as having mental retardation. That would have been his primary diagnosis of the time (1950's?), although he definately had autistic traits.
Of course there is also Rainman and I am Sam (one of my favorite movies). |

I don't think getting migraines from just light would cause an overload by itself, but I could be wrong. I think it could be part of bei... |
