    MTHFR Gene Mutation?

    I have Lyme disease, and the MTHFR mutations are a big part of that for a lot of us. It controls how we detox.

    I've loved all kinds of science since I was just a child. I even taught some of my science teachers in high school. For some reason they seemed annoyed!

    Social Groups and Extracurricular Clubs for Aspies

    A few of us recently formed a local group and had our first meeting last Saturday. It was great! We could hardly believe how much we have in common. I was almost instantly at ease with everyone since they "got" me. We spent three hours just talking and comparing. Now we need to figure out some...

    Do you feel safe outside?

    Greetings and salutations

    Hello and welcome. We seem to have a lot in common. I am in my mid 40's, I'm a computer tech now but grew up on electronics (component level), very high IQ but no social skills. There are a very few people who understand me and all of my friends are online. Again, welcome :)

    Forgiveness?

    Forgiveness to me is more about you than about the person you are forgiving. It doesn't matter to the other person, but it does matter to your own heart. To me, it's a form of self-healing.
