| Of course it is common for a teenager, aspie or not, to live in permanent sexual frustration. In fact, I'm sure most parents agree that's the way you should live till you no longer depend financially on them, though many will probably "soften" it by telling you you shouldn't want sex, or ... |

| I had a friend who taught junior-high school classes for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. In the second year of his tenure, budgeting caused the school (or district) to combine the students with all the disabled students. My friend saw the social cohesion of his classes deteriorate. Several all b... |
