| Sorry for coming back a little late. There is no fight between morals and biology. Too much stress, insufficient nutrition and bad living conditions damage people (and in particular their complex brains, bascially when in the wombs of their mothers or as babies), welfare state and relaxed life helps... |

| I can't speak one way or another to your hypotheses on what causes autism, just that I see we're literally not talking about the same things at this point. You're suggesting that autism is more environmental than genetic, I'm stating that evidence is overpowering at this point both anecdotally and ... |

| The fun thing about the overview of this topic - we know that nature murders the weak and that's the fundamental structure from the ground up. Really it murders all of us in the end. It has no scruples or compulsions otherwise. Our society is a layer of nature, and the compulsion - when the going g... |

Yes, it isnt. But it should be, and this is what counts. |

| I realize that a lot of people, not just on this forum, but everywhere, would have been aborted. But they weren't and they are here, so that's not a concern as I'm not talking about killing people. I just think that if civilization wasn't held back by having to support those who are not optimal it ... |

| Maybe you should consider your "sins" less as sinning against yourself and more a sinning against others. Actually that is the only right way of seeing it. And you should also always consider which bad motivation have driven you with some wrongdoings, and how you could compensate for what... |

| It's because we live in a society obsessed with women, for better or for worse. There are men who discuss their problems, but for the most part, those discussions tend to be shut down pretty quickly, or be seen as ridiculous, as people just don't care as much. Which makes sense from an evolutionary... |

Do you think that me, using my savings to get into the movie business is a foolish, desperate idea though, and maybe I'm not thinking straight? I dont know you very well and nothing of your project, but from what you say about yourself it coul... |

| Why is it ok and people fighting for women to be accepted to have different body types,but not men :( There has been some movement for acceptance of different types of males aswell but unfortunately less discussed. Maybe its because men don't feel the need to discuss it (similar to not discussing m... |

| Maybe you'd have rated "high functioning" a few decades ago, before the billionaires raised the prices while leaving wages stagnant. My most functional talent along that line is learning to get along on a small and variable income. I fix my own stuff, often salvaged first, buy food as ing... |

| Trump. Bernie is a layer, turncoat and anti gun. He showed he has no real beliefs just like all politicians. He wasn't the revolution he lead people to think he was. I think soon people will feel the same about Trump. He'll probably sign a republican bill to kill social security and medicaid and th... |

With your interest, contradictions and topics, you fit in perfectly well here.
For the topics you mentioned you d better open separate threads. I would be very interested in participating at a "bundle of contradictions" thread for example. |

| What has helped me, is researching how it looks in females specifically; how that differs from how it appears in males, and then explaining it to people that way. I'm having someone read the aspergirls book to understand better. People are skeptical when I tell them too, but I think if they read th... |
