| Aspergers IS Autism. The only difference is the "high functioning" end of the spectrum doesn't have a special name (Aspergers) anymore. Gotta treat everyone equally after all. |

1. Social/verbal communication with NT/Allistics.
2. Anxiety and depression caused by not being able to communicate with NT/Allistics.
3. Employment because every job requires some kind of communication skills.
4. Executive functioning dysfunction.
5. Being socially awkward = bully magnet. |

| Do you have a portfolio of your graphic design work? A lot of places require one to be considered. It's best to have one online for employers to reference when you're applying. If they like your work they'll hire you. |

| I don't think this character is offensive at all. I think she's perfect. What I didn't like was how badly the other characters treated her. It's like she's a burden to them. Treating people who are different like crap isn't a positive message for a children's show. |

| So at what age does one become a 'real person'? 16? 18? 21? 100? If you're under a certain age of being a 'real person' does it make it right to kill everyone under that age? I found this article disturbing. The disabled are people too. Francesca Minerva, however, I wonder. |

| It would be a world where everyone could do their special interest. People like me would be valued for their special skills. Unlike today's society, I wouldn't be told I couldn't do something because I was autistic. It would be a beautiful world. Definitely better if you're on the spectrum. NTs migh... |

| You're not the only one. I hate it too. When dry, it's like sandpaper to my skin. If it's damp/wet it's not so bad, but then it's kind of useless. |

The new edited version of Derpy makes her seem like she's drunk. O__o
But in all seriousness, Derpy's butt must be made of diamonds. How does one knock a tower over with a just a simple little tap? :-I |

| I've gotten most of those remarks. Especially the infamous 'but you're too high functioning to have autism'. It's like people think everyone with autism is intellectually challenged. :-I |
