http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... _238075318 I don't know if I was too surprised, exactly. I'm 26 and I've never gotten a phone call or an invitation or hung out with people or anything when I was in my teens.

It might not be news to us, but it's about time that published studies moved towards examing Aspies who are adults, and challenges faced due to social exclusion.

Dear Diary,
Today I learned that it's possible to have an entire paid career just to summarize the obvious to the oblivious!
I'm not sure if this industry is called Advertizing or Milking but it sounds easy!!
when I grow up....

In this case, "Yes". This means that future studies and/or social interaction support has documentation to justify funding.

I saw Tahaiii's response, but I wanted to note the benefit to future studies and support groups.
