| good luck with POF. IMO, I have yet to find a guy of any quality on that site...or if they are there, they are so outnumbered by DBs that you will likely not cross their profile. |

| I've been on this since Feb, and it has not helped at all. I selected it b/c SSRIs screw up my libido...and, to be honest, not having a libido is so depressing to me that I'd rather be depressed and still want sex, than be numb and not want sex. Anyhow, of all SSRIs this is supposed to have the leas... |

| Hi...I have always assumed I had depression, and off an on since 16, I've take antidepressants. However, during most of this time, my meds were prescribed by a regular doctor, not a psychiatrist. It wasn't until I saw a psychiatrist's practice two years ago in september that I was told I should get ... |

| Evolution isn't about choosing mates Not in its entirety, no. But this is a huge part. Mates are chosen on multiple levels, all of which are intended to ensure our offspring are fit (have high probability of surviving and reproducing themselves). We like ATTRACTIVE mates, because generally, the trai... |

And, in large populations, this is the dominant force. But, genetic drift dominates in small population... |

| Dos comments: I pondered evolution the other day, and I wondered why a horse and a donkey could reproduse to create a mule(who can not reproduce), but a dog and a wolf can reproduce to make offsprings that actually can reproduce. The reason, it seems, is that mules have 63 chromosomes, a mixture of ... |

| The word "mutation" is a word that often triggers an emotional response, as people like to ascertain a value to it. "Mutation" means "defective" to many...when, in fact, it doesn't. Same as "theory." Laymen misinterpret the actual meaning of the words. |

| Can we discuss some of the objections to the idea that some who have been labeled "autistic" may actually be the result of evolution? Yes, it is called a mutation; a change from the wild type. Which is NT. And don't start getting upset. "Mutation" has zero implication of "good" or "bad." It merely m... |

| I HIGHLY DOUBT you caused aspergers...so much so that I'm more inclined to think that aliens violated you while your were sleeping, and microinjected into your ova autistic mRNA. If elevated cortisol alone leads to aspergers, our species probably would have never existed. Our non-human, as well as e... |

I once had this AMAZING cat. I mean...she was perfect...and I loved her more than anything (I was 27, so not a "kid").
When she died, I cried more than when my mother died. No s**t. |

| I'm not saying that it is a 'trait' of aspergers per say...like 'people with aspergers are compulsive thiefs.' I'm just wondering if it, as the psychologists summary had read, is something that may occur with specific types of objects, depending on the interests of the person, and if they have tende... |
