    Metroid Prime 4 Beyond

    This is a genuine surprise. A trailer dropped today for Prime 4. I have to say, it does look good. Though who knows how the final product itself will look. But Sylux, a hunter from Metroid Prime Hunters, being in this, is not a surprise at all. Though what is, is that he has Metroids following...

    Autism in the Media

    I thought I would share an autistic website I created for the community. I wanted to showcase how autistics have been represented in both film and tv. In the past it was of course, not so good. But I’m happy to report it is improving. You use a toggle switch, which you can find below the top...

    How you relate to fiction (a survey)

    Let's say you're reading a story, and something happens to one of the characters. I'll present three versions of this scenerio, and possible responses you might have. 1. The situation in the story is something you yourself have never experienced before (for example, the character's beloved dog...

    Prosaic Synopsis Game - make it dull!

    In this thread, let's describe art forms or popular media, in a dull, matter-of-fact manner. You can add some bias, to your objective descriptions, if you wish. I'll give some examples: (1) Sesame Street is a televised children's cartoon, featuring a variety of ridiculous, anthropomorphic...

    Do some people only "like" pop culture, to fit in?

    Many popular songs, music artists, movies, and TV shows get circulated throughout the mainstream, becoming "viral." I believe that many people don't actually appreciate the artistic quality of such media (if you could call some of it artistic, at all), and care only for how trendy they'll...

    Media Section Question

    I like to check out the new pics in Media. Is there a way to remove a pic from my screen for any reason, such as I've seen it or don't like it? I've tried Marking All as Viewed but it didn't remove any pics, but I tried it in case that is what it was supposed to do. Thank you.

    Seasme Street's Autistic Muppet

    Finally watched some of Julie the Autistic Muppet in action. I think she is absolutely amazing and will hopefully help both NT and autistic kids understand and support autism better.

Does any one have any experience with key word blocking filters? If so, would they work with firefox? Know...

    Is apergers/ autism a glamerised condition.

    It is the only condition where people go I think I'm a touch autistic. You would never say something like I think I have a touch of cerebral pausy. People also go on about all the celebrities with it and how it is only mild. I sometimes feel like parents want their kids to have it as an excuse...

    A Frightening New Service

    Normally, I like my posts to be absent of hyperbole but I read about this new service on CNN called Peeple. Essentially, this is a service that lets people anonymously rate each other and this is frightening because of the amount of personal, professional, and psychological damage that can be...
