    Can One "Recover" From Autism?

    Really? I’m also an introvert and so very easily slip into my own world - which is in my head. In fact, I’m mostly in my own world. But to recover from autism? A parallel to that is like saying one will recover from one’s personality, or introversion. I’ve never felt that I’m afflicted, or...

    Delayed verbal responses in conversational conflicts

    When insulted or angrily snapped at, the person doing that then places themselves in a position of authority, superiority over you - adult to child. That is threatening. Usually the reaction is to feel intimidated, and so a ‘brain-freeze’ can occur and then one cannot think of a response...

    Can I have some feedback on this please

    Fact: declare that you are autistic and the majority of people immediately treat you as though you have low IQ. If you had a career with you, would she have been able to stir your coffee? No, of course not, and so what does that have to do with the situation? Nothing. They did treat you badly...

    Vinegar for Entomophobia

    Nope, no need to vacuum every day. Just leave for a couple of days and then vacuum once. Not everyone’s choice though .

    Vinegar for Entomophobia

    This may seem strange, but sprinkle salt everywhere - fleas hate the stuff, and it actually does deal with the problem. Leave for two days and then vacuum.

    When you first suspected you were autistic as an adult

    I realized that I was different, but was quite comfortable with that thought because I was just fine, while everyone else was weird .

    Adults diagnosed w/ autism over 50 believed they were bad people

    Strange that society makes different people feel unwanted because they are ‘broken’ when everyone is broken to a greater or lesser degree, especially today in this narcissistic and neurotic society.

    What is this?

    He does seem to display symptoms of autism, but just as others have suggested, you do need to have him assessed by a specialist who specializes in autism. If he constantly displays the symptoms you have listed then in all likelihood you have an autistic child. It’s really commendable that you...

    Christmas a state of mind?

    Christmas is most definitely a time of cheer and joy, and it’s supposed to be. Of course, it has been unabashedly commercialized, but the spirit should always be a very positive and uplifting one. Great that you pulled through and have continued to fund it uplifting. Unfortunately, there are...

    Words From Your Favorite Song

    Really don’t mind if you sit this one out My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout I may make you feel but I can’t make you think Your sperms in the gutter, your love’s in the sink ...... And your wise men don’t know how it feels To be thick as a brick

    My obsession with being special, powerful, and superior

    Seems like narcissism to me ;). Most people want to impress others, and so focus on being better in one way or another. That’s what gains acceptance and affirmation from others. Fact is that everyone has a desperate need to be accepted, to fit in one way or another, and being ‘better’ gains...

    Do normal people really act like this?

    And you are correct not to bring it up or ask that type of question. In that sense you are more ‘normal’ than those who do ask such idiotic questions. I would find it very strange if someone asked me questions like that. It’s personal and none of anyone else’s business. So, my response would be...

    Do normal people really act like this?

    First off, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with being a virgin at any age, never mind thirty. Then, remember that for a very long period in history it was a mark of character to retain your virginity until marriage in order to show the utmost respect to your marriage partner. In other words...
