That's what I was referring to. P...

When I was a kid I was obssessed with the past, especially the clothes. Almost any era in history would do. I even used to listen to the oldies station on the radio and turn the color off on my TV so I could pretend it was the '50s sometimes. I totally feel you on this. You can still do it though. ...

The 60's would be my choice. All the major innovations in music took place, the rise of the self contained band thanks to The Beatles. You had Motown turning out hit after hit and creating superstars like Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye. The Whole British Invasion thing, plus radio didn't seem as compart...

I think it's necessary for those on the spectrum to have this away time, but we have to balance it out with healthy doses of human in...

I am very interested in fashion and I'm definitely on the spectrum. I approach clothes the way I do any other obsession I have, like music. I usually fixate on a period, say the 1930's for dress clothes and review old movies and vintage photos of how men dressed back then and pretty much replicate T...

I think the serious lack of understanding of autism among Africans coupled with being the child of immigrants made it especially tricky to deal ...
