| I will lose my virginity when I die, since my buried body will merge with the woman next to me. |

| So, I've already re typed my first sentence several times!! I should really learn to 'type as I think' - I'm terrible for self censorship, I have a real problem with enjoying things as they happen.

Thanks for your concern. Worst part is, he is really interested in engineering, which is pretty intensive. He would be better for business possibly, as he has the social skills for it. |

| This past weekend was really hard for him. He was the opposite of me in hs, he partied a lot (he's obsessed with military history, but pretty normal otherwise).

| Just to clarify, the genetic conditions listed in the blog post are definitely very rare, i.e., 1:10,000 or fewer. But it wouldn't be unusual for certain physical features, especially facial, to occur more frequently with "idiopathic" autism. A cause or causes are unlikely to solely affect the brai... |

| The existing subforums about autism politics and autism news are too broad in the topics that they cover. Since the debate thread has been moved to this thread, I will respond here. I disagree with the quoted OP that the "activism" and "news" are too broad. There are occasionally days where there a... |
