    Are you a Pessimist or an Optimist?

    I tend to focus on the "best case scenario", but my idea of the "best case scenario" tends to be unrealistically bad.

    How does eye contact 'feel" for you.

    I don't feel any unpleasant feelings when making eye contact. It's more like this urge to look somewhere else. Eyes are boring to look at, and I'd much rather look at more interesting things. It's like being forced to stare at a white canvas in a room full of beautiful paintings: it doesn't...

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    I don't think simply educating people on autism will change their view on a cure. A few people with open minds and more rational judgement will change, but for the most part, I think people are too set in their ways. It's like politics: most people will dismiss anything you say if they disagree...

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    First of all, I want to say that I never said that discrimination based on ASD is different from discrimination based on race. Second, I think you really underestimate the number of people who want a cure for autism. I can't get into specifics or give away exact results because of the...

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    I actually think all of your points are valid, except this one. I agree that it's offensive to want to cure autism, but asking that question isn't. The purpose of that question was to find out how many people wanted to cure it, and also if autistic people were less likely to want a cure. If I...

    'Childish' hobbies

    This isn't really a hobby because I don't do it normally, but I'm secretly mesmerized by shows like "Dora the Explorer". Pretty much anything with a story is intriguing to me, even if it's an overly simple story meant for toddlers.

    Mum and son set up mindset business to help autistic children

    I was happy seeing this. Then I realized that the "I'm with stupid" shirt probably has at least a thousand times as many sales as this, and it made me sad. Most modern societies glorify insults. Although, at least someone realizes how unnecessary and cruel people can be, and fights against it...

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    I was worried people wouldn't realize it wasn't required and answer it anyway, but I added a "don't know" response to that question.

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    Thank you for your support. I, myself, am on the spectrum, and I tried to be as specific as possible, but there were a few answers I never realized people would have.

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    I didn't actually think of that. I assumed that self-diagnosed people would put yes, but I didn't consider that. I'll add that as an option. Thanks for pointing that out.

    What part of that didn't I do?

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    I don't mean to attack you or anything, but I honestly don't understand what isn't clear. I'm doing this survey for a school project, and it covers knowledge of autism, views on autism, and qualities related or associated with autism. Is there something specific you don't understand, or did I...

    I'm not sure what the issue is. It might be a glitch in the system, in which case there's nothing I can do. We'll see if other people have this problem.

    Autism survey for AP Statistics project, responses needed

    That's strange; it works fine when I try it. Did it give you an error or did it just not let you enter anything in?

    Good point, I'll change the survey.
