    >:( HOPE BRACES BREAK

    wow, such a thing to lay on a 13yr old.. I mean, my folks did every parenting thing completely wrong (granted, Asperger's was not a known thing way back then, so they just assumed I was just a little prick or something, I guess), but never threatened anything like that. I really wish I had any...

    Illinois to cut funding for autism support

    Ah yes, once again the myth of the Welfare Queen rears its ugly head. Why do I get the feeling you have never lived anywhere near the 2x poverty line generally required to receive income assistance? Y'all (meaning everyone) need to lose everything for a while, just a little while, maybe just a...

    Help with Thunderstorms

    I think what helped me was being able to expect the thunder. Though the individual thunderclaps are of course sudden, when the weather is stormy they are not unexpected. I learned to sort of pre-cringe, tried to stay ready for them before they happened. And of course, if you see the...

    Smartphones making children 'borderline autistic', warns expert

    I didn't bother reading it because obviously they are also suggesting that autism can be an acquired condition. Just file it away with vaccines all the other supposed causes.

    what is your stim?

    I don't have, and really don't understand having particular stims in particular situations. For me, there's this buildup of... energy or something... a kind of vibration of the nervous system that causes repetitive muscular movement, and it activates whatever muscles "get in the way of it"...

    Is this Aspie behavior?

    While of course I completely understand the proclivity for precision, really dude, you can't find any newer reference texts? At least try to find something 19th century, maybe 3rd or 4th edition Webster? ;)

    Favorite Aspie-expressive song?

    'Whispers' Sitting all alone, waiting for you my dear Wishing, I was anywhere but here Silence fills the air Wishing, that I really didn't care Voices surround me Telling me something That I'm nothing Whispers fill my ears My eyes are filled with salty tears Why does the world feel so dead...

    Favorite Aspie-expressive song?

    'Words' You say come over, let's have a little chat And I say "Okay, I guess I'm fine with that" But as we get to talking, I could go insane You just kept speakin' those words and it started to hurt my brain One word after the other, no space for me to say "Sorry but I've got to go we'll talk...

    Is this Aspie behavior?

    It probably is Aspie to some extent, at least. Personally, I find it quite frustrating anymore to read websites; professions such as proofreader and editor seem to have fallen by the wayside. The pronunciations don't bother me as much; there have always been differences between regional...

    Strange memories

    sure. none come to mind at the moment, but there's lots of little bits of trivia hanging out in the dark corners.

    Understanding song

    the language of poetry and song lyrics is often symbolic, metaphorical, allegorical. songs especially may contain references to other literary or artistic works. for example, a line about falling down a rabbit hole is probably a reference to Alice in Wonderland, to invoke a feeling of the...

    If you had the chance to meet Hans Asperger, would you?

    Because Allopathic Medicine has a monopoly on all things relating to human biology. Doctors decide what constitutes disease, who may treat it and how, and any contrary voices are crushed under the weight of dogma and legal prosecution. It doesn't matter that the whole profession can be traced...

    Secrecy vs Disclosure

    I was a long time getting to that point, and I completely understand not being able to. And yes, the first few times probably did happen in the midst of anger and frustration. And maybe I just got fed up with the inefficiencies that anger and frustration brings into any interaction, and try to...

    Sensitive Topic Some parents trying to reverse autism by giving their children toxic ‘miracle’ bleach enemas

    Mr. Humble, and all those parents who consider using this "cure" should first publicly undergo a course of treatment themselves. OliveOilMom - many of the chemicals liberated from our food by the digestive processes in the stomach and small intestine are actually absorbed into the bloodstream...
