Unfortunately, I happen to have Autism. Anyone know any websites about it, because it's really starting to get me down as I enter "THAT" stage of life...
Also, if anyone has Aspergers, AD/HD or other forms of Autism, I highly recommend getting one of Luke Jackson's books. Very helpful :)
I know it's unlike me to start such a Thread, but could someone help me find some sites, please?

What kind of Autism do you have?
My sister has classic autism. She was fine as a baby and we have her on video saying words. When she was 3 she lost the ability to communicate. She's 13 now and still can't talk and we have to guess when she wants a drink or anything.
I always think one day she'll talk, but there is no way it can happen.

Autism is the lack of a Theory Of Mind, as researched by Baron Cohen et al.
Spot the psychology student.
And that Baron Cohen is, indeed, related to Ali G.

That's totally ridiculous. It's called acting; when someone acts English (or Scottish/Welsh/whatever) does it insult you?
Effectively there are now two branches of autism. It has become a "trendy" mental condition; and as the vast majority of people show a handful of it's symptoms it is easy to incorrectly diagnose or use as an excuse for other unexplained/unattractive problems.

I saw a kid on TV who thought when teachers would tell him "Pull your socks up." he thought they meant for him to literally pull his socks up.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Does anyone out there happen to have Aspergers and needs help with it? I should know about it.
Yes, because all narrow minded people are smokers *rolls eyes*

Oh, I don't know...Imagine this in a Political Talk on the TV...
People sit around the TV taking the Mick.
Blair: If people persist in taking the Michael, I shall ban smoking!
Everyone shuts up.
About the Ritalin thing...how come someone WITHOUT AD/HD can take it and go hyper, but someone WITH AD/HD can take it and it actually HELPS them?
