I'm the opposite. People have always commented on how quiet and softly spoken I am. Speaking up to a normal level (for others) sounds like I'm shouting (to me). I get commented on that I am or too quiet and have to speak louder, or when I really engage into a conversation that I am shouting(like wh... |

If God can do anything can he create a boulder so heavy that even he couldnt lift it? If boulder means what I think it means, an enormous rock, linguee-translate is not clear in that, then I guess the answer to your question is yes, that he can. Why couldn't he? He can do everything according to yo... |

Do you think about your ballet cats? We were just playing with little balls and ribbons and now they are sleeping. For 4 weeks now they are on a serious diet as they are overweight and I got special nutrition from the vet and I have to limit the portion-intake. The two females are quite fine but th... |

In fact it happens quite often to me, my inside mind is very vivid and visual and eidetic (not hallucinatoric) and often more present than my o... |

Having these support workers could very well make an autistic person a more useful member of society--because then, with this support, the person can c... |
