    When is a pet, more?

    There are several scientific studies and videos on animal telepathy... and they are quite convincing. Something about being non-verbal combined with a deep sense of love... animals and humans can connect on a very deep level. - YouTube...

    Koalas

    Purchase before... purchase after... inform me on how any of this makes any difference at all... and how it effects the administration or ICE? What's the point? More useless virtue signaling? Furthermore, how much of an effect would it be if only a tiny percentage of people are participating...

    What experts reveal about women's attraction to older men

    For the purposes of a forum discussion, when we speak of these things, there will always be exceptions... but in general... as you say, "most people" will learn from their mistakes, especially if it has caused them emotional pain. That said, there are those people in this world that never seem...

    What experts reveal about women's attraction to older men

    "Older" men tend to... generally... have gained some wisdom and are more emotionally and financially stable... as opposed to where they were, say... years earlier in their lives. For the woman that is done "playing the field", who has lived through relationships with a lot of emotional and...

    Koalas

    It seems to be the same discussions going on all around the world when it comes to nature conservancy. In countries with a lot of land mass, it seems the large cities, where people are concentrated, and the majority of voters are... there is a disconnect from the realities of nature and what it...

    Stress Tolerance Sensitivity

    High anxiety... common enough to be part of the many traits associated with the autism spectrum. Stress affects everything... immune system, cognitive functioning, motor control, emotional control... yes, even feeling the need to go to the bathroom. You don't need to be autistic, per se, but I...

    Why does society view autistic people as mentally incompetent?

    It goes both ways. When I "came out" as autistic to my co-workers, many people commented, "Ohhh, that's why you're so smart." "I've always thought you were a savant." The Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory" sort of "professor". On the other hand, you have "The Rainman" and "Love on the...

    I don't see my autism a problem

    Furthermore... 1. We've had some long discussions about how trauma and PTSD occur... and a lot of it has to do with "intent"... and if it is malicious... it can imprint itself as such. Bullying is a problem within some schools and communities. The young, impressionable, often deeply feeling...

    I don't see my autism a problem

    Good for you. For some of us, autism comes with a long list of pros and cons, not to mention everyone's "autism" is unique to them. There are a lot of things I, as an ASD-1/Asperger's variant, can push through, adapt, and overcome personally, but for others the identical things can present...

    Managing insurance authorization paperwork

    I am thinking your best source of information would likely come from established mental health hospital and clinic administrative/billing/coding staff... as well as social workers. These folks are more likely to be of help navigating a rather complex system as this.

    Been getting to know my son more

    As you may already know, "LGBTQ issues" as you put it, are common to the autism spectrum. There's some neuroscience behind it, but regardless of how it all "comes out in the wash"... as a parent, be conscious not to "nudge" an impressionable young mind one way or the other but do let them...

    I got a frog :]

    Love that color. Very expressive eyes and face. Maybe, someday, a 55 gallon terrarium and a few friends for him? Perhaps a girlfriend or two.

    Post a picture of your mind

    Revisiting this thread after nearly 5 years. "Post a picture of your mind". I have found it interesting how people interpreted this. I interpreted it in two different ways. 1. When I close my eyes... this is quite literally what I see (view attachment)... not an analogy or representation...

    dual diagnosis bipolar and autism

    There can be some crossover with autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and schizophrenia... if you can imagine a Venn diagram. Some traits are common to more than one of these conditions.

    Extreme social anxiety

    I am thinking the broader issue is not necessarily obtaining a driver's license and ownership of personal transportation, per se, as it is about personal mobility, not being socially isolated, and having access to the greater community, social environment, and job opportunities.
