Last night I saw an email about the TV show "The Bridge". I was excited at the prospect of seeing a protagonist identified as autistic on a mainstream TV show. I was hoping to see something close to Goren on old episodes of Criminal Intent, but what I saw reminded me more of Big Bang Theory. I was m...

Well before the assignment we were following the theme of linguistic awakenings and the effect of language on our thought processes in the class. We learned about a Mexican man who was born deaf and had no concept of words until his adult life and the immediate effect that finding out object had na...

I look at my rare perspective as a gift, and it seems like a lot of people appreciate the way I talk to them. Here are a few things I try to do: -Find a way to make whoever you are talking to feel smart, st...

I have never posted here before, but I have browsed some of these forums a few times. Anyway...I just started college and in an English coarse I'm taking we were assigned to write an essay.

I should probably reiterate...there is more to the essay than what I pasted in this thread. I just thought some of the people on here might find that particular part amusing. Either way I don't really see how it is the equivalent of a one-three word answer.

In high school I'd just wait for the assignments I liked and skip the ones I didn't, and in my first time through college (technical s...
