Today at school, I gave a little Powerpoint presentation about autism in my computer class today and let me tell you, it was kind of hard speaking in front of the class and I hope everyone enjoyed and learned something from my presentation.

Well done, kudos to you for speaking in front of the class. What kind of things did you mention?

Hopefully your classmates will have learnt valuable things about autism that they didn't know before.

Over the years, I have discovered it is easier to speak in front of a bunch of people than to just a few. When I give a lecture or class, it is easy until the Q&A period comes up. I can teach one or two, but beyond that, I have trouble until I get a roomfull.

I also mentioned aspergers syndrome, too.

I'm taking Psych/Sociology during my senior year next year. If they make us do presentations on psychological disorders, mark my words I will do mine on autism - the true nature of autism, not that BS propagated by Autism Speaks (more like Autism Speaks When They Really Need To Shut The Hell Up Because They're Arrogant Lying D*****bags... pity that wouldn't fit on a badge)

Tell you guys what... when I get that assignment, I'll hit you guys up for primary sources. That way we can all do our part to spread the truth. And I'll even post the PowerPoint slides here, if you're interested.

Well done!

If you've got a google account, you might want to put your presentation on the web for us all to look at.
