I'll be watching, though I notice it's all about young people. Don't old folks like me deserve any attention? Are all my challenges supposed to be over? :wink:

Heh, no, but yours are aided with a commodity called experience. Besides, I believe that most users who post here do so out of social problems more than other autism-related issues. At age 40+ (give or take), most social crises have already been experienced or averted, and life-lomg friends made, meaning less need for adaptation in a world of social torrents, and ever-changing currents.
