    Family meal time - the most stressful time of the day

    Sounds like me. I have three young highly energetic boys and dinner time always turns into a complete nightmare(especially if we eat out at a restaurant). I lose my temper very quickly as I have the view that children should be quiet and well behaved while at the dinner table. Of course that...

    Autistic boy left heartbroken after Gumtree 'con artist' scammed him out of £150...

    What's the latest on this story? Did the kid get his money back or an X-Box? The f*cking rat con artist.

    "Do Autistic Adults Have More Health Problems?"

    Of course we get more health problems. All the anxiety, negative thoughts, stress and extra mental energy we expend just trying to keep up and fit in with the 'normal' world takes it toll on our bodies.

    Autism assessment - Dec 2015 - UK

    I'm 41 and I had my diagnosis last year with the NHS. It was a one to done with the specialist and she told me that it would last 2-3 hours and that diagnosis there and then was rare as usually she would then refer with her colleagues and further testing may then be required before confirming...

    Asperger's and difficulty with authority figures

    I've always had an issue with authority figures. It started at school and has continued through my life. I suppose it is mainly due to the teachers and bosses I've had have been some of the biggest f**king idiots to walk this earth but having Aspergers didnt help with how I dealt with them.

    Telling Employers?

    I think she only backed off because she is very career driven and realised that there would be implications to her career path and reputation if she continued the harassment after I'd disclosed my diagnosis to her and HR. It had nothing to do with any sudden feelings of regret or concern for me...

    Telling Employers?

    I had to tell my employer.I'd been fighting with my doctor to get a referral for an official diagnosis of AS as I knew for years that something about me was different. I've worked for my company for 16 years but I was put under a new manager a couple of years ago who totally changed my working...

    Unlicensed blood drug GcMAF - listed as been a 'cure' for Cancer and Autism - still for sale

    I'd try it. I was listening to the owner of that company on a podcast last week. It was very interesting. It also appears that a lot of doctors investigating the positive aspects of GcMAF have died in suspicious circumstances. Can't have a cure for Autism and Cancer getting out now can we?

    A special interest in the apocalypse

    The armed forces and police would no doubt side with the government at the beginning until they realised that their own family and friends were starving and suffering too. Then they would probably wake up and start siding with the people. It wouldnt take long before anarchy ensued if the...

    A special interest in the apocalypse

    I've got a funny feeling that when this one hits any day now that it is going to lead to social carnage very quickly.Something like Greece x1000 for the UK and U.S.

    A special interest in the apocalypse

    I've always been interested in the end times and how it may come about. It would certainly make the TV news a lot more interesting. I get the feeling though that something is indeed about to happen. The world wide economy is about to collapse 100 times worse than in 2008 and the sh*t really is...
