| Welcome back, Heather — it’s lovely to see you again. You’ve been missed, even if you were quietly reading along. It’s wonderful to hear you’re married, working full-time, and finding ways to look after yourself. Your family history research and creative outlet with the plushies both sound like love... |

| I think the medical profession has the attitude that people with 'mild' autism need to look after themselves because it is assumed they are able, more or less, to function in society. The attitude they have doesn't matter. What matters is what they can prescribe as cures. Can your doctor prescribe ... |

| I think the medical profession has the attitude that people with 'mild' autism need to look after themselves because it is assumed they are able, more or less, to function in society.

| You have to be careful when talking to strangers because people don't, as a general rule, go up to someone they don't know and start talking.

| The thing is, autism can co-exist with other conditions that don't necessarily correlate with it. We have to remember that everyone is an individual and, as such, different people will have a variety of traits that have nothing to do with autism.

| As far as I can gather, people on the AS can be variety of personality types because everyone is an individual. One of the main things about being autistic is the problems experienced in social interactions and 'reading' other people. Some individuals on the AS are extroverts but the trouble is, alt... |
