| This was just posted in an online community I'm a member of; it's in reply to a poster who got quite forthright and rude (with justification, imo): My very real apologies if you are autistic or any other kind of mental condition that makes ordinary social skills a major problem for you. I have met a... |

| I've read news reports that say the people of Hartlepool know who was in the crowd standing around and laughing, and that nobody will serve them in shops or talk to them. Long may it continue. And I should imagine that the urinator's fellow prisoners are thinking up a lovely treat for him in the sho... |

Who presumably can't be expected to understand fancy scientific terms like "proof".
ETA: Please direct us to any of Doctor Buttar's papers that have been published in peer-reviewed science publications |

Right on Kitsy! You can only be 'cured' if there's something wrong with you. A 'cure' implies that you're broken and don't work properly.
I AM NOT BROKEN AND I DO NOT NEED FIXING. |

| mrdecc, instead of trying to talk to the doctor, try writing it all down beforehand in a letter, starting off with an explanation of why you can't talk coherently to him. Then hand him the letter. |

| Thanks Cernunnos. I haven't any OCD issues, and I'm fine with feral/wild animals as well as other peoples' pets. But I'm just not comfortable with having an animal living in my house and dependent on me, or me getting dependent on having one around. It makes me actually shudder when I see somebody t... |

Thanks for all the replies. Sigh. Looks I am weird, after all.
I'm not denigrating anybody who loves their animal. But I just can't get that concept at all. |

| I have never been able to see the point of keeping animals purely as pets. Don't get me wrong - I like animals, but I can't see any reason to have them living in my house, unless they're doing something useful like keeping rodents or burglars out. I've met only one or two people who feel the same wa... |

| I am 57 and self-diagnosed. I'm self-employed and working from home and so don't have to interact with other people that much, so my AS is no longer much of a problem. I'm seeing my doctor next week (a regular check-up for various chronic health problems) and I'm wondering if it's worth asking for a... |

Although I do not place much credibility on astrology, it is something that has interested me for sometime, and I am always interested in people starsigns, and what they feel about whether they fit the usual descriptions ... |

| Well, I'm new here too. Self-diagnosed. Two days short of 57. Had a lot of problems growing up, had some psychotherapy when I was 20 or so, but nobody had even heard of AS back then; it was suggested that I might be schizophrenic, but I escaped further psychiatric intervention. Had a family pretty s... |
