    Eye contact.

    That's the best way to explain it for me, it's like you can see them, into their soul! It's very personal to me and I can only have eye contact with the people that I love and care about. I find if someone I don't know helps me, I can look them in the eye and thank them as to show seriousness...

    Small Talk (How much does it bother you?)

    Nanu Nanu :-) When someone is with me I will stay out of the conversation/small talk they have with another person and observe/listen to the other person I don't know. If they ask me a question i'll usually give them a short answer and to the point as not to give them anymore reason to continue...

    Are there textures you can't bear to touch?

    Are there textures you can't bear to touch?

    Yeah, mine is things like clean clothes when they come out of the wash, clean hands after washing up etc. My skin is very sensitive when it's clean and has no oil/sweat. It causes an intense cringe!

    Autism Survey for Channel 4

    Did it the other day as my wife tagged me on FB. I got Sensory Perception - 22, Social Interaction - 1 and Organisation and routine - 9 Overall 8. I think the Organisation should have been higher but as the questions were so broad they were difficult to answer.

    What subtype of autistic are you?

    Interesting, don't usually use those kind of test things but this seemed pretty accurate.

    'Coming out' to others - Their Responses

    Personally, I'm fully open about it. Do you find that, upon telling friends, anything changes? I found that nothing really changed except better understanding, the very few people who have turned slightly away, I have just let them be as I don't believe they are the kind of people I need around...

    Sensitive Topic Moms Against Autistic Children

    Hi all. Mom's against autism fb page is supposedly a page that does not like mum's that are against autism and they support autism as they themselves are autistic. They are ridiculing those mums i.e against a mum who throws her autistic child off a bridge. I myself was mislead by this page as it...
