I really would think very carefully before embarking on what would be a battle that would last for several years and rake up all of your past.

I do think the day-to-day reality is being swept under the carpet by some people in the autistic community, in denial about what it's really like for the majority. I use to be one of them. For which I can only apologize publicly. |

LCH, This whole thing is crazy. Something's got to be done. Society's still in the dark ages when it comes to autism. |

I think the 99.8% percentile intelligence thing, is going to make things seem a little screwy. It's not difficult to track the real location down. Why doesn't someone invite him over? If he's not having "Hitting People" issues, that is. |

ah, but we live in a multi-demensional continuum. so who knows? I wonder if Professor Simply Double-Barrelled will be there? #2 of the positives of autism is the lack of shame of social disapproval; at public meetings this leads to things being said, that must be said.
