| And kids get that too. Not me but my friend and my cousin. "what school do you go to, how are your grades, do you play any sports?". What happened to Mind Your Own Business? Too true. Now I'm older, I get: "What A-Levels are you studying?" and "What do you want to do at university?" and "Where do y... |

Did my parents do any research about it?
Hahahahaha.
NO.
(They had a month between the suggestion I was AS and the official diagnosis because my father wanted to research. What happened? Nothing. What's happening two years later? Nothing. Will anything ever happen? No.) |

I realise and understand that and I also realise that I'm playing devil advocate's to the point of almost being mean/bullying about it. So I'm going to stop. Power to you about whatever you do with you life, man. |

| 0845 cost me 35p per minute. Fair enough, then. I dunno. Other militaries don't allow people with autism in, so I don't see why ours should. It's not a matter of being equal and fair and nice, I think it's more a matter of efficiency and having good soldiers. Which, considering some of our traits, ... |

Niiiiiiiiice. I feel like I could slow-dance to it (if I could dance, that is).
P.S. And then, when that piece finished, the website went on to (of it's own accord) another one of yours - Tourdion (with bagpipes??) and that was very nice too.  |
