| Her new album, as well as the Live In London album, are both great. I had front row seats for her concert here a while back and it was an amazing show. I actually prefer the solo versions of the new songs like on the live album. |

| I think for many of us sensory issues ebb & flow. I know that sometimes I'm extremely sensitive to noise, lights, etc., while at other times not so much. The changes may be triggered by mood, stress, hormones, etc. |

| Si 82 this is not just an AS/NT issue. It is a man woman issue. Quite true. A lot of NT/NT couples go through the same types of things. Of course, NT/AS may have additional difficulties to overcome. I'm an AS married to an NT and it's not always easy, but communication is the best way to bridge the... |

People are stupid and make stupid comments not caring, or knowing, how they can offend others. |

Special interests can change over time. They can swing back and forth between different ones.
There's no easy answer as everyone is different. |

| A lot of Aspies are creative and imaginative. The problem is how NTs look at us. They keep trying to judge us by their standards, which don't really work/fit. When they take the time to look at us as our own people, they find that we are a lot more than the standard definition. Unfortunately, the de... |

| For many Austistics, it's not so much the idea of a "cure" that they are against, but the fact that Autism Speaks purports to speak for Autistic people . Yet they rarely let any Autistics actually "speak," and even less, actually listen to the thoughts and opinions of Autistics. The only time they h... |
