| Once again more unhelpful reporting on a story, which in my opinion brings autism into disrepute with their so called 'news articles' by the paper that should be renamed, 'The Daily Bile' I think the title fits them accurately. This rag glorifies with relish and joy on a staunch regularity, when it ... |

| Does anybody else think (like I certainly do) Channel 4's documentary 'The Undateables', is unevenly stacked towards featuring heavily laden episodes of ASD sufferes, apposed to any other condition? Can someone tell me the reason why a programme needs to contain a ratio that outweighs the number of ... |

| Basically it boils down to one thing; money, money and yes more money. I can't believe the amount of times I've been told by doctors, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, counsellers and all matter of mental health experts and professionals that we'd like to help you but w... |

| We've been together for 12 years and married for 7 years and have two kids. We actually have a lot in common. It hasn't been complete peace and harmony but no relationship is.... Even in a relationship with another Aspie there would be issues. I know many people in relationships with Aspies that ha... |

I don't understand how two contrasted pairings, can survive for a prolonged period of time in complete peace ... |

| Without a shadow of a doubt. I'd prefer it was a one off change, than having to take a chemical kosh, resulting in a dose dependant addiction. Never being a person to be satisfied, an inauspicious thought would go through my mind, it's a ruddy shame I've spent some of the best years of my life going... |

| I think personally there are bigger fish to fry than getting all hung up on phraseology, to be honest. A slight loss of perspective on the subject. If you don't like the idiom, then insert your own relevant term that makes you happy to say. The same for your boyfriend, if he dislikes the word, don't... |

| Look: the reason the media is lapping it all up is because this is what they think: Asperger's = weirdo = savant/genius I find this equation utterly repulsive. Has any of you seen any of that film "Mozart and the Whale?" I walked out. It was every frucking stereotype you could imagine. The writers ... |

| Why do you completely disagree? Because it seems your issue with her diagnosis is that she is in your view just too embarrassing. I'm assuming you want a milder and more socially acceptable face of HFA? I'd be lying if I said no, but you're incredibly perceptive. That's precisely what I believe. I ... |

I think it further damages the already... |
