    Passwords on Autism Forums

    You'd be surprised at some of the sites/apps that ought to hash passwords but don't. For example, I am aware of at least one electronic medical records system that stores passwords in plain text, even though that's a clear violation of HIPAA.

    Has anyone on the spectrum self taught themselves to play instruments?

    When I was about 4 years old, at around the same time I was finally getting around to learning how to walk and how to talk, I figured out on my own how to play the piano by ear -- just one-finger melodies at first, and then chords. I never reached professional musician skill level, however.

    Question about rule about link in profile and/or signature

    Add more options to diagnosis status.

    It seems to me that both the DSM IV terms AND the DSM 5 terms should be included, so that people diagnosed in both eras can accurately say what their diagnosis was. I do NOT think it makes sense to add them as an "a.k.a." because there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the old...

    Question about rule about link in profile and/or signature

    The rules say: "Members may have one link to their forum/website within their signature and profile." Which of the following does this mean? 1) At most one link in signature and one link in profile. The links in these two places must be identical. 2) At most one link in signature and one...
