| I lack common sense in social situations. Most NTs I've met lack common sense when it comes to basic logic. |

| So out of all the people with AS, you're going to see more problems in a group of people that have it as part of their identity. I disagree. I found out I have high-functioning autism a year ago. Before then, I had all kinds of problems. I didn't fit in, I had trouble making friends, and I had no i... |

| anbuend, I understand what you are saying and I agree that some, maybe even most, of the alternative doctors are quacks. I first heard about alternative conditions and treatments on infomercials late at night and I was skeptical enough that I ignored them. I still won't even consider homeopathy, bio... |

I agree Clinton caused the mortgage mess. Clinton is the cause of everything that is currently wrong with America.  |

| I thought this school had video cameras so they could monitor these kids all the time. If so, they should have been able to see the kids weren't doing anything wrong. Their website says shocks are used for dangerous and aggressive behaviors. I don't think that would be to hard to see. Maybe they wen... |

| I've heard that some people on this forum object to the suggestion that Asperger's Syndrome is a psychiatric disorder. From CDC website on autism: DSM-III (1980)[3] * Differentiated autism from schizophrenia (not a psychiatric disorder, but developmental) Link to CDC website Psychiatric implies tha... |

| You have to have a pretty lowered immune system to have the sort of systemic fungal infection that could really affect you in any major way like that. That's what medical schools teach but it's not true. I took antibiotics earlier this year and they made me more autistic. They also made my tongue t... |

| The explanation for the Bible is that much of it was based in true Revelation, but it has been changed (and therefore corrupted) at the hands of men. There is much truth therein, but falsehood is weaved throughout. If man corrupted the Bible, then what makes you think man hasn't corrupted the Qur'a... |

| It should get better over time if you are learning how to work on your weaknesses. I think ABA therapy helps alot with some kids so they act mostly normal. Yes, the symptoms can come and go throughout life in varying severity. You can start off as "bad", but improve throughout childhood where you ca... |

| Rosetta Stone is best for learning a foreign language. They show you pictures and speak what it says in the foreign language. Their products are expensive ($209) but they have a free online demo that has alot of words and phrases for over 20 languages. If you really like it, you can probably buy it ... |

| I've felt that autism was holding me ransom. I wanted to make friends, but I didn't now how. I wasn't able to understand other people so I never fit in. I was rejected because I was different. It made me lonely and depressed and I thought about killing myself. Nevertheless, I'm very offended at the ... |

| I briefly researched the Judge Rotenberg Center and it seems the problem with them is that they use skin shock treatments. I see why this may be a problem. We don't want them turning kids into robots and forcing them to conform to normal standards. However, according to their website at http://www.j... |
