I can help by donating money or teaching people how to trade stocks. Otherwise I am entirely useless. If I am called on to help people through their emotional pain then I will end up making them feel worse. I don't have a way with people.

for those of us who aren't bu$ted flat, the stock trading tips would come in handy.


Donations it is then.

IMHO the wall street crowd [lotta extreme high-functioning spectrumites there] exemplifies high-functioning.

High functioning is...


When you are busy being super autistic on a really tall ladder....but then you come down very slowly because you need to count the rungs to make sure it's your ladder because that guy next door he has been looking at your ladder and maybe he wants to take it! but he can't HAVE it because it's YOUR ladder and you spent a REALLY long time finding the perfect one and .....boy oh boy if he doesn't stop looking at your ladder you're...well...you're just going to chain it RIGHT up that's what you'll do! and then.....oh....it's the mailman...he's looking at the mail man...ok. TIME FOR MORE MATH! and maybe some tapioca...but only the big tapioca...and only in the mint colored bowl ...is that guy looking at your ladder....?

It's high functioning because you were functioning Reeeeeealy high up. On a ladder.
