    Too much in our heads?

    Neuro-typicals over-analyze as well. "Paralysis by analysis" it is called. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a habitual thinker. Everything in moderation, though. I say try not to be so into your own thoughts that you forego using your periscope to check on the outside world...

    Possible treatment for ASD and ADHD.

    Wow! I'm glad that is working for you. It's always encouraging to find a way to help yourself, even if that particular method isn't of much help to anyone else. I applaud you for sharing what you have discovered. That is a very selfless thing to do. Maybe your technique will help someone...

    offensive stereotyping

    To your point, though, yes. It is a vulgarity filter looking for that combination of letters no matter what. The code used to filter vulgar language could have first pointed to a library of common words, but it didn't. You overcame the limitations, though, and were able to use the name you...

    offensive stereotyping

    I reject the idea that the world is becoming too "PC" (politically correct). To me, what is happening is we are uprooting the horrible terms and expressions that we have all grown up with (sometimes for generations) that hold no real meaning for us, but are and WERE meant to be insulting and...

    offensive stereotyping

    I try too hard to make jokes and they sometimes come out with secondary and tertiary insinuations that I hadn't thought of prior to the utterance. I call it "The Tragedy of the Try." I almost always leave a party (prior to COVID) regretting a line or two. I would chalk it up to something like...

    Hi, I'm new

    My son is also diagnosed with ADHD and is very visual. He, too, learns a great deal more from watching educational television programs than, it seems, from me and mom. He is very finicky about what he watches and when. I think he's also a metal-head. Anytime AC/DC comes on the radio, he gets...

    Hi, I'm new

    Hi! My 4-year old son has autism and I am here to listen, talk and learn all I can about being the best Autism Dad I can be. I love my son and I wouldn't change anything about him. He's just like any other 4-year old. I want to get more involved in autism-related activities and help to make...
