@Cainus44 You're a jerk.

@Crunchy68 Factual thing. A healthy human being is not autistic. Autism is an abnormality of varying degrees in the brain and sometimes body, and occurs during fetal and infantile development, thus improperly developed.

@Cainus44 No, that's not what I mean. What a rude thing to say.
-
@Crunchy68 Improperly developed, you mean.

That squeeze machine is like those blood pressure machines you see in drug stores.

Sweet! I'm out of my way to care for a spider, and it will be cherished.

my bunk bed does the same thing for me like her squeeze machine. I feel safe and I have nicer thoughts

@karlsmith00 ...actually they are often blamed...but usually by their wives. :-)

Aah... im not Autistic and i think that machine would help me feel relaxed. :)
@EgyptianPrinceCB While I think there's something to be said for not seeing her difficulties as part of her brilliance (although I do think it's fair to commend her way of dealing with them), the things you named seem pretty irrelevant to me. Especially the "putting on make-up" thing - something's quite wrong with a society that deems that necessary for fitting in, in my opinion (or the lack of it for men - but that's another matter).

I'm like Temple. I like heavy blankets, and being squeezed, like between cushions of a couch. But I don't like most people to hug me, because I hate the stress that with most people there is always an undertone of some kind of thought or agenda I'm not on the same wavelength with. So people scare me. But deep pressure DOES feel lovely and relaxing.
But to say autism can be "cured" feels as offensive to me as saying lefthandedness can be cured. I'm not sick. I'm just different.
