    The Stigma of Self-Diagnosis

    I have always said that Autistic Children grow into Autistic adults and normal people need to understand this. I was born Autistic and I will die Autistic.

    "Autistic" or "has Autism:

    How would you all like to be referred to? "Autistic/Aspie" or "has/with Autism/Aspergers"? I want to be called Autistic because when someone says I have/with Autism it feels like I have or with a disease like having or being with a cold, flu or some other disease. Or am I just being...

    My Passion is Machines

    I love machines too, more specifically track hoes and backhoe loaders which I'm really obsessed with. I also maintain my own backhoe loader, lawn mower and other equipment.

    Strange behaviors as a child

    I forgot to mention it earlier, but I have a terrible face tick where I move one side of my nose rapidly back and forth and sort of up and it is impossible for me to even control in public. This is one face tick which I had since childhood that I wished I didn't have because I get stared at...

    Vitamin D and Autism

    Yessiree. I get anywhere from 8 to 10 hours of sleep now. And before I started taking D3 I was lucky to get even 4 hours of sleep. I had forgotten the sleep part. Sportster, I'll be 70 in September so I know how getting older affects us.

    Vitamin D and Autism

    I have been taking 5000IU of D3 of the fast release liquid caps. Though it hasn't helped my Autism, it sure has helped the co-morbids I have associated with Autism. I don't hardly have any anxiety anymore and don't go into meltdowns as much or as severe. My blood pressure is back down to...

    Color Obsessions

    I have an intense fascination for yellow when it is on heavy equipment, cars and trucks. I would have loved to get a big yellow F150. But since I couldn't I bought a white truck which is my next fascinating color. In fact most of my vehicles has been white or off white.

    You are because you went off topic without even checking into what it says on my signature or asking me for a link. I do my homework before I start spewing words.

    Let me tell you something you are the ones that went off topic refusing to read my links. I absolutely know what a Savant is because I'm a professional artist or will I have to prove this to you. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Candy Waters is not gifted. I'm not blaming Candy...

    Who? Don't talk in riddles. So lets discuss this like adults instead of acting like a bunch of bullies picking on someone with Autism. We have to deal with bullies all of the time and I come here and get the same thing. At least I was professionally diagnosed. What about the rest of you...

    Maybe you need to do a Temple Grandin search on AspiesCentral. I found this one from a while back. https://www.aspiescentral.com/threads/temple-grandin-on-autism.14239/#post-313302 So before you think that Temple Grandin is the perfect representation for Autism you should watch the video.
