| I've seen that video on YouTube or somethinganother... That kid was just begging for attention. Too much unwarranted self-importance. He deserved what he got. EXACTLY!! !! The kid was just begging for attention! His mother's attention, the attention he deprived him from after her daughter died and ... |

| I worry that if I do try to get a diagnosis, I won't get evaluated properly and be told I'm not an Aspie. I have no doubt that I am an Aspie, I just worry about the relative newness of AS as a diagnosis, the lack of research in adults and females, and the competency of doctors. I know exactly what ... |

| while it is funny, finding it funny when you offend someone isn't a great attitude to have. I agree, I really gotta stop doing it myself. You know what, it is funny! It is hillarious!! ! And you know why? Because they are that stupid to get offended instead of thinking for a moment and realizing th... |

| Yeah. That time, I should have kept my mouth shut, and if I hadn't been thinking about counting at the same time, I would have. There are times, though, when it's absolutely necessary, and I really wish I knew how to handle it then, to avoid the negative social consequences. I got really depressed ... |

| If you want science to prove what autism is then you are just a fool and half-blind too. I never said I wanted science to prove what autism is. I said: I have a hard time believing an argument that completely side-steps genetics. I don't need science to tell me that autism is genetic. I can look at... |

| Hmmmm.... what is wrong in this picture? I have a hard time believing an argument that completely side-steps genetics. I also believe the original statement of a "3-D" Autism puzzle oversimplifies the Autism spectrum. The other thing you seem to be ignoring, is that some Autistics are truely disabl... |

| I haven't read everything you written because it is late and my ED is kicking in. But from what I've read, I would recommend against chaining together loose circumstantial theories and information. Start with a viable hypothesis and then *IF* you find it to be true then make the next one. I know it... |

| What is Autism??? This is a question that every scientist in the last 15 years keeps asking and researching, but the more they research the further they seem to wander from the core. What is the core? The core is almost like an instinct, a 'fact' that ALL autistics -classic, aspies, HFAs, PDD-NOSers... |
