I&#8217;ll explain about that in a second. First, a little about me: I am an adult with AS. I&#8217;ve got a blog of my own, and I program websites for [...]]]></description>

Scientists do not look for what is good or right; atheists do not look for what is unifying or comforting.  They look for what is true.  For what is.

First of all, when I say &#8220;how one ought to behave,&#8221; I&#8217;m not talking about some archaic system of etiquette which [...]]]></description>

However, give the same person "too much" autism, and he or she becomes so severely impaired as to render these positive features unhelpful.  It is the impairment-to-benefit ratio, I think, that determines whether autism is a gift, a difference, or a disorder.]]></description>
