I think Spot would be a good name. He looks a lot like Spot the cat who was in the Hong Kong Phooey cartoons. Um but maybe no one else here is old enough to remember that.  |

You don't want to be unemployed right now because there are thousands of applicants for every job advertised in much of the country right now. And being a weird acting Aspi... |

| Jiu jitsu is not a good fit for a lot of Aspies due to many not wanting other people to be touching them. And having strangers grab at you is not a pleasant experience for many of us. At the school I studied at we were forced to learn Hapkido and Judo in addition to the Taekwondo and I hated the gra... |

| I've been described as "caustic". that's actually how i learned about the word. I'm like, caustic? what the *** does that mean? I think by caustic they are saying cruel. Like our tendency to be overly blunt to the point of harshness. Or in other words we are too honest and do not hold back what we ... |

| But you do realize if you son has any form of autism he will never be normal. There is no cure no matter how much social skills training he has. His brain is not like NT brains. He can't be normal; organically he is different. You as a mom can help him a lot by making exaggerated facial expressions ... |

| I've never smoked pot. Pot is illegal by the way. I saw an article recently by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on the physical harm pot causes. Its not safe. Pills aren't safe either but pot is even more dangerous. People that consume either one without concern are stupid fools. And by the way you keep bringing up... |

If a person scores below 40 they are considered unsafe to have loose in society and at a certain level its a legal requirement to lock them up in a psychiatric ward. In the 20-30's rang... |

That kind of behavior will get a boy in trouble these days and get them accused of assault or sexual harrassment. |
