I can't play them myself because I really can't deal with jump scares but I love the whole atmosphere and have ended up looking at a load of things about it online. I watch my brother play sometimes, while half hiding behind my fingers. XD One thing's for... |

I still have too much attachment to anything with a face. Last year I had to throw out some slippers shaped like zebras because they were too damaged and I felt so awful about it because faces mean they're alive.
I'd feel even worse if I threw out any of my more than 100 cuddly toys. |

| More from the MTV story. http://autismwomensnetwork.org/disabled-people-being-silenced-by-unethical-media/ This shows clear bias towards the hate group, and censorship of quotes given. She tried to excuse the censorship by saying it was "fair and balanced" to do so, after Autism Speaks re... |

| Do you not understand what WOMEN'S discussion means? I'm really tired of seeing males post in these forums. This is the one place the females can discuss their problems, without males jumping in and being egocentric, but yet you still do. We don't want jokes, we want a serious discussion with other... |

| A great article, but people may want to avoid the comments. I made the mistake of checking them the other day and there was some terrible ableism. |

| As is my understanding currently... The article reported on both "positive" and negative tweets about Autism Speaks in a public forum (twitter), and had an Autism Speaks advertisement showing what Speaks thinks of us. There was no ethic boundary that required them to ask Autism Speaks any... |

| Yeah. I kept examining LeChuck's room and possessions, only to discover that the bed was apparently full of blue worms. Eventually I was compelled to return the battered old coaster to the rental facility. XD Yeah, you use Stan's compass to get the key, since it's a magnet. I've never actually play... |

| So Autism Speaks have apparently now started using #AutismChampions as a tag instead. So, yay we took over one tag, but now we have another one. |

Aww, I love Lechuck's hideout! Especially the music!
Were you stuck trying to get the key from his cabin? That's one of the bits that takes a slightly unexpected item. |

I have a small cuddly tiger called Wonky I always carry round with me, have since I was 10.
(Also I don't know exactly what it is about scissors that interests you, but I really love stimming with them; pushing my fingers through the holes and moving them backwards and forwards.) |

| Yeah, a lot of people aren't diagnosed until later. I'm 20 and was only diagnosed last year. Also, what gender are you? Because if you're not a guy, it's even more likely that you're not diagnosed young. You say you might be in denial though, by which I think you mean you don't want to be an aspie? ... |

Any other Monkey Island fans here?
Monkey Island was my first special interest - I actually watched my parents play it when I was about three years old and have been obsessed ever since. |
