    Does anyone else do this with their special interest too?

    Hey y'all so was curious if anyone else does this, where they literally have a difficult time buying stuff UNLESS it's related to special interest. Like with me, it is animals. Every single thing I buy has always and I mean always been around animals. I can't buy something if it's not animal...

    Introduction

    Hi, my name is Justin. I joined this forum because I think I'm on the spectrum. After taking the AQ test with a score of 31 and the RAADS-R test with a score of 174, along with finding about how I was when I was a child it seemed to me that how "I am" could finally be explained. After doing more...

    A Design of A Product That Can Help Individuals With Autism Calm Themselves Down [THESIS]

    Hello! I took on this topic because, even if I'm not related with anyone with Autism, I have always taken a liking to psychology. That also goes the same with mental disabilities, and since the push for awareness has become rampant these days, that made me want to take on the topic. I also...

    Shutdown leading to a meltdown?

    So this question probably doesn't require any background but I'll give it some. Yesterday I had a dentist appointment. It wasn't a huge deal on its own of course. So my brother, mother, and I went to the dentist and got that out of the way. Afterwards we needed to go to the store. It was at...

    Autism Spectrum Syndrome?

    I'm not saying Autism is or isn't a disorder (I don't have much of an opinion about it because I don't mind the word disorder), but some suggest that it isn't a disorder. I realized at 2 am (the best time for pondering) that if it's not a disorder it would be a syndrome. The only issue is that...

    The business of writing, from a Level One Autistic point of view

    A year ago I wrote a memoir titled DESERTPHILE: A PERFECTLY SANE MISANTHROPE HIDES IN THE DESERT. I am still looking for a literary agent to represent that manuscript. Is there anyone here who has autism and has written a memoir? If so, how many I get a copy to read? Thank you.

    Any others on the spectrum have low muscle tone?

    So I was told I had low muscle tone by social workers at age 3, however never got any help on it cause they say it was minor and there was nothing they could do. So I was on the borderline of it. I done research on my own and found lots of people on the spectrum have low muscle tone too. If so...

    Phtalates in plastic products cause Autism

    A few days ago I heard on the news that chemicals in burnt plastic are a cause of the autistic development of children since in the areas with more plastics being burnt there are more autism children born.
