What strange kind of game do you pursue with people? What's its goal? Are you fully aware of the difficulties you impose on children, adults, and families?

How is it that I can have both mild autism and a soiling problem?

I have a hard time imagining what it would be like for autism to be a person.

But I guess I'd ask, "How do you work? How do you have the range of effects you do on different people?"

If humans are social creatures, why do you have to exist?

i can not fathom the essence of the topic question, so i did not bother to try to understand what the question was really asking. i also can not imagine a process(autism) being comparable to a person. they are not in the same dimension of consciousness for me.

i just said a "blurp" in my last entry because there is nothing interesting otherwise to post to here tonight that i have found yet.

Well, considering we would both have eye contact issues and Theory of Mind deficits, we would probably stare off into space, thinking about our special interests. Stimulating, but not particularly conversational.

If faced with the personification of autism I would negate its existence (nicest way I could figure to put it, started with alot more curse words).

I'd say;

"Hey, would you mind leaving me alone for awhile, say 10-20 years, so I can raise my kids and establish a career, get some retirement funding together etc. Then, when my life is secure and I know where I'll be for the rest of my life, you can come back and we'll jam to those sweet tunes and learn all about the history of the British Monarchy together. Deal?"
