| Some stuff is so shocking it's hard to avoid noticing. I kinda lost count, but I think it was nine times Inventor mentioned Temple Grandin and Tony Attwood in the same sentence. There's a subtle distinction. One prevents beatings of the innocent, the other causes them. I bet his inbox is flooded wit... |

| One thing comes to mind that you might consider. Aspies of all ages have what we call "special interests." An aspie special interest can involve anything you can imagine, often it's something pretty specialized. Special interests sometimes last for months, sometimes for a lifetime. They sometimes fi... |

I have heard about a male hygiene deodorant spray.
It's called, "Umpire: for foul balls." |

You'll probably be okay, though, since so far this interpretation of the rule has only been invoked to support a cele... |

| Hey, it's simple. With kids, it's called "pretending." Adults call it "fiction," but it's exactly the same thing. Did you ever really enjoy a movie, or a play, or a novel, or a TV show? The reason you enjoyed it is because while you were caught up in the experience, you were pretending in your mind ... |

Hmmm...Which side is more likely? Maybe there's money involved. On one... |

| Wrongplanet doesn't have a Men's Discussion Forum because most of the guys here are too young to be worrying about prostate cancer, and after somebody's spent a lifetime being aspie they don't care if they die eight years early. |

That's what happens to aspie fathers and their children.
Because of scumbags like Tony Attwood and his groupie trash worshipers.
