@SaveFerris: Oops----sorry about that----TWICE. I've also got ADHD, so I was just trying to save time----I figured if I only said "Are you sure", and then, maybe you would come-back and say something like "I think so", then I would post the list (I forgot dry mouth / thirst), and then you would respond, again----I figured I'd just put everything, at once (same, for the search help)..... I'm glad you took it, so well----that it was concern, cuz it truly was.

the fact that you said your glad that I took it so well suggests that you may of had a little bit of anxiety about upsetting me, which I find hilarious because I had the same sort of anxiety replying to you - what a pair :lol:

So polite it hurts :wink:

I think Temple Grandin in 'the Autistic Brain' mentioned that wrongplanet was a source for her and some other researchers, I must double check it though.

LOL You're RIGHT!! I never even thought of that----that I was feeling a little uneasy that I might upset you----but, it's TRUE, because so many, on here, are so quick, sometimes, to jump on somebody for insulting their intelligence (even if they don't come right out and say that), and that makes alot of people, on here, nervous, about responding to others; or, "so polite it hurts", works, TOO. LOL (wink)

Maybe more of an expert than than we realize , Baba Ji does appear to have a narrow field of interest , they never talk about anything else , they don't seem to notice that they are boring us - I can't think of anything else

I guess if they're an "expert" who is typically an NT, then they don't need to use this forum because they already know everything about autism. :roll:

That's like someone who's an expert on being an airline pilot who has never flown a single plane.

But to be fair, I doubt experts in gastroenterology go on IBS forums.
