    What's wrong with saying "mild" or "severe" autism?

    No, I never do anything by halves. :) I was never really able to hide my differences although I don't have any obvious stims, I learnt early on that I might as well just be myself because trying to be like everyone else doesn't work. And I think that's one of the things people like about me...

    You do eventually get used to living with it. I'm in the same boat, got hit by a car at age 14, permanent spinal damage.

    Compulsion related to sentimental value items

    I cured myself of all that many long years ago. I moved around my country a lot, spending a few years at a time in different cities. When you keep moving from city to city you get sick of carting useless junk around all the time and you start to realise that their value is in your own memories...

    supertasters

    A very simple meal I do from time to time: Cut just the very top off of a bread roll, then eat some of the bread from inside the roll. In the hole that remains add a little grated cheese and crack an egg in there. Poke a small hole in the yolk of the egg or it will explode in the microwave. I...

    supertasters

    I had to look them up, then realised I've seen them growing in many places but didn't know they were edible. They don't look very appetizing. I tried to look at descriptions of flavours but they use fruitier language than I'm used to. I would take a guess that they have a very sharp or tart...

    From everything I've read about them I think your fear is perfectly rational. They're incredibly dangerous animals.

    What's wrong with saying "mild" or "severe" autism?

    I agree with other people's comments that there's nothing wrong with the terms you're using, but there is definitely something wrong with the people raising these issues with you. I tell people: "I'm not an Aspie. I'm from the other end of the spectrum, I'm full blown autistic." If some people...

    Medical Marijuana

    In another thread you say you're bipolar. If true then canabinoids are possibly the worst drugs you could take. They trigger bipolar and schizophrenic episodes.

    Can't enjoy myself

    After an incredibly exciting early life it took me a long time to find that balance, to be able to keep my emotions on a more even keel. Nothing really excites me any more but on the flip side nothing really upsets me or gets me depressed either. By comparison my younger years were like a...

    Bullying question

    You have to figure out responses that don't flatter their egos, don't give them what they want. Eventually if they can't get what they want from you they'll start trying elsewhere.

    Bullying question

    Just thought I should stress the importance of this. If you decide you want to talk to police then you go and talk to police. You don't threaten to call police, that will just make them extra angry and forewarn them so they can move to block you. Do something or don't. Don't discuss it with...

    Bullying question

    They really do behave like a drug addict, you've given them a taste of the drug they crave more than anything else in the world and now you want to take it away from them. No matter what you do it's not going to be a pleasant experience. I agree with Velociraptor that unless you're genuinely...

    Bullying question

    The one thing that all bullies have in common is that the more you give in to them the more they will demand. Conceding to their demands or trying to be conciliatory will always escalate the situation. There is no limit to how far they will go as long as their ego keeps getting stroked. That's...

    Post something Weird or Random

    The aftermath of a Category 3 cyclone - lots of mess but very little damage. 1 parked car got crushed by a falling tree, 1 business had it's roof damaged by a falling palm tree, and a window shade was torn away from the wall of the hospital. Power outages are a common thing in Darwin, pretty...

    Westall incident

    There's a crashed spaceship in Coober Pedy. They say it's a prop from the filming of Pitch Black but people from Wycliffe Well are suspicious. Wycliffe Well - Wikipedia

    Does anyone feel that they are now comfortable with social skills?

    I deliberately studied people and taught myself social skills when I was in my teens in order to be able to have a sex life, and I was very successful with that. Those same skills became incredibly important in every other aspect of my life too. In public situations I'm generally well liked and...

    Chicken problem AGAIN

    A very popular breed for those in to self sufficiency is the Hyline Brown. They're prolific egg layers - at first. They'll lay every day for about 3 years and they don't seem to have an off season, but then they stop laying while they're still young enough to be good eating. And a tip about...
