Would you care to offer some part of their release to support that claim?
Edited to apologise for the double post. |

| If you don't mind, I'd like to take a moment to flog a friend's site. http://www.rethinkingautism.com/RethinkingAutism/Home.html I think she gets it particularly right with this video. (I particularly like the "Who is the party for? You? Or him?" comment.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWnDPpfpLmM&... |

| You can see a promo trailer for it here... http://video.pbs.org/video/1865831018 My two "favorite" quotes - "When I see the effect it has had on his family and his older sister, who is ten..." Which is all well and good, that he worries about the family. What about the kid? And - "It delays t... |

| So here's a question for you... Do you think kink/fetish sexuality is somehow connected to Asperger's (I've never been in a community that's had this many people willing to discuss it) ? Or do you think it's something that everone engages in, but we're the only ones goofy enough to admit? No. Lot o... |

| Yeah. What she said. I can definitely see some side of your friend's perspective on the deal. In quite a few of the online fora that I participate in, invariably there's someone who will drop out for a while. And invariably there will be someone else that will ask where they've been or if anyone kno... |

| Mayhap that would be a good time to tell your friend that you'd like to spend some time with her... I'm having a similar reaction to the one that your friend is having concerning a woman I'd asked out recently. She politely declined, using the standard "I hope we can still be friends" line.
