| Three milligrams a day. Yes, Klonopin works wonders. It is also remarkably addicting. Do I care? No. I'd rather be dependent with an improved quality of life than the "person" I was before meds. I don't care if it is heroin; if it genuinely improves my life I have every intention of taking it. |

I wish your picture was on the top of the forum instead of Awkwardly Condescending NT Cis Girl.
Ha ha. How flattering! I'm sure Alex will be rotating it soon. |

| As a member or the autistic LGBT community, I felt it was very important to share my experiences here on Wrong Planet's homepage, perhaps offering a bit of hope to many of the lost and lonely members I see on these forums struggling with sexual confusion. Being gay and autistic is NOT easy - but it ... |

The autism spectrum is like varying doses of LSD. Those on small doses can still function, bu... |

5. Vyvanse |

Potpurri, or Spice, or K2 (it goes by many names) is a synthetic THC analogue. It sucks. What's more it is far less safe than the real thing.
This guy meant no harm. He's just a crackpot. |

| I strongly agree with the this theory's basic concept. It explains, well, everything. However, I'm not informed enough to formulate an opinion on some of the finer details. Hyper connectivity, hyper functioning and hyper plasticity? Yes! Toxic insult during pregnancy? Um... Can I just smile and nod ... |

| I think you should reread the interview on homepage. I believe you have misunderstood what is, without doubt, the most positive and neurodiverse theory of autism to ever gain recognition. The theory more or less suggests that we experience a heightened state of consciousness. It DOES NOT make diseas... |
