| Whether or not it is about autism... it is about people who communicate differently living and becoming human again, and sends a powerful message about what it means to live and be human. |

| Ok, time for a clip! Breaking Dawn Clip At first when watching this I did not understand, I could not put words to it, but something about this clip felt familiar. It was then that I realized it reminded me of my experience as an aspie, pretending to be normal. Trying to figure out how to blend in, ... |

| Okay, I am very confused on this. Mercury is bad for you isn't it? Can someone explain the science here to me? I agree that people shouldn't be upset about autism. (Whether or not there is a link) But in general, shouldn't people be concerned about their health in general? Maybe somebody can explain... |

| It works like most drug therapy regimes, has wanted and unwanted side effects and can stop working for you in time. Many beneficial side effects with weed. Over dosing should be more of a public awareness issue than present *all safe* ideology I mostly agree with you except the on over dosing. It d... |

| I use it for migraines, insomnia, and anxiety. In my experience it's not good to rely on constantly (ie: every single day even if you don't really need it) because smoking too much can cause anxiety, but everyone's different. It is the only thing that helps me with migraines that isn't addictive an... |

| Not possible to prove the merits of it without directly saying "It's a conspiracy... man.” I don’t use it but I do follow similar vitamin patterns.. To start- the original studies showing that marijuana somehow kills brain cells was flawed in its execution. They gave ** rats/mice heavy doses of it ... |

| If you rely on medical marijuana to deal with stress, what are you going to do when you don't have it on-hand? I suppose it will be like it is know. It doesn't have withdrawal effects, so I'll just go back to how I am now. Trying to do good for my diet and doing tai chi and yoga. But its not enough... |

| NOTE: Please look up the real science of marijuana before you jump to conclusions. (Marijuana is non-addictive, impossible to overdose on, and is used to treat many things. Much evidence points to it destroying cancer cells (I oversimplified it, but it is really interesting)) I don't think I need to... |

| I'm sorry, but I have to be blunt... Based on my own experiences, schools won't treat you differently (for better or for worse) even if they are aware of your diagnosis.

| It is completely possible to be attracted to a trait (ex: masculinity) and be attracted to a sex not accociated with that gender. (by society's terms) We just got to break down the "rules" society creates. You might be interested in the gender bread cookie. [img][800:906]http://itspronouncedmetrosex... |
