Among the patterns of things I will just catch right away in society (i.e. studying humans), I catch contradictions the most. I have a hard time not calling them out. It then makes me feel like a lot of people get offended at being called out and ...

I was diagnosed with autism by a psychologist after a day of testing, but my current therapist keeps saying she doesn't think I have it (or I'm a "little bit" autistic). Whatever, she says she doesn't know much about autism and is concentrating on ...

I'd like some advice from y'all: I have an aspie friend, I'll call him Elvin, who lives not far from me and doesn't drive (and can't afford a car even if he could drive). I've known him for a few years, and before the pandemic I'd give him, and ...

I'm an old man now, but I suspect that I have ASD. I'd like to know for sure, but it seems that diagnosis and treatment are not available for people my age. I live in Kansas, where mental health services are thin, and such issues are still minimized ...

In 2007 there was a wonderful documentary called "Autism: The Musical". I just found out there is a follow-up called "Autism: The Sequel" which is airing on HBO. I highly recommend both films.

My 6 yo on the spectrum has been noticing things. He's very smart and, while he was originally diagnosed as being at level 2 on the spectrum, is now probably closer to level 1. He's been asking about why he goes to a different School than his ...

Hi, my first post here. Hope it's OK. Does Asperger's / ASD 'inoculate' one against the insanity of Belief and religion? I think it does - 'normal' people are susceptible to Belief (and populist rabble-rousing) as a direct result of their ability to ...
