A resounding NO to this query. We are human, humans smile, therefore Autistic kids can and will too.  |

| To Siri with Love is such an abhorrent book. It pushes eugenics, etc. and the author has been nothing but awful to self advocates on social media, she has even encouraged her fans to vote down amazon reviews by us. |

| There are 2 sexes - Male and Female, but there are many more than 2 genders. Gender and sex are not the same thing, just like sex and intimacy are not the same thing. |

| Some people may make you feel like they deserve a kiss (or more) because they bought you dinner, or drinks, or went on the date with you. They don't deserve a kiss for any of those reasons. Kiss them if you're comfortable with it and the person. Don't feel pressured by whatever the perceived norm m... |

| *raises hand high* I am not good at "give and take" in conversations at the best of times face to face, even worse on the phone. Not sure when it is my turn to talk, when the person has to go, etc. I am crap at reading peoples non-verbal signals in person, EVEN worse on the phone. |
