| Dry, hot weather is usually something that is an endurance test, but cold and/or humid weather feels like it changes me, even down to the subtle perception of things (don't know how to describe it). |

| I feel like the odd one out when it comes to weather even among autistics it seems. The only way for me to be really comfortable if the weather isn't like 75 and sunny is to be constantly adjusting the heater and AC according to my immediate feelings which can really go up and down. Is there anyone ... |

| If the focus of these topics was on her autism I'd probably feel ok about it, but nearly all of these discussions are climate change debates. I find it extremely uncomfortable to add unrelated divisive politics to our already overwhelming list of problems. I really hope this topic dies down and we c... |

| True, but women usually do this when very comfortable with a partner because it turns him on, it caters more to male sexual visual stimulation IMO, hence its popularity in male oriented porn. Women take more warming up than men. Women are more cerebral in sex than visual. Words get her mojo going. ... |

| It sounds like the therapist is working to get you out of the family home. Around here, there are a s**t ton of therapists that specialize in "failure to launch" adult children. They work on getting the parents "a spine", and the end result is the kid out of the home. I remember... |

| There's your problem: you said "family therapist". A family therapist's loyalty isn't to the patient; it's to the patient's family . Hence the term. Family therapist is to auto mechanic as patient is to car. You are the patient, but you are not the customer; your family is. Of course, he/... |

| How about the guy you met previously? Can you contact him? It seems the one you are meeting now is horribly unprofessional. And what I see at the website, it is totally the opposite of what you need, in fact, it's the opposite of psychology at all! The main objective of this comprehensive training ... |

| Over the past year since my diagnosis at the age of 31 (not through him, but a previous guy my parents had me see) I've been able to make it a lot of strides in understanding myself. I had been struggling through disaster after disaster in life, likely traumatized by not knowing what was wrong with ... |
