Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Are there any stone-eating animals?

I am amazed "I" doesn't appear on-list. I use "I" often.

"I" could appear if people want. Must be within spoken English's top ten words. There are good arguments for including "I" as disallowed within this thread.

Because spoken text uses "I" much more often than written text. (Most written text uses 3rd person but spoken text uses 1st or 2nd person)

Buses have limited floating time, too short for practical use as fishing vessels!
