    Vintage buses

    Low parts availability combined with significantly higher routine maintenance and operating costs combined with... as you say, a much larger renovation budget. Then you have the physical size to deal with out on the road, parking, etc. I see people in the US with these giant motor homes and...

    Are you understood?

    Nobody in my inner circle (personally or professionally) can comprehend what goes on in my head... especially my wife of nearly 40 years. Constantly reminded of it...several times a day. The connections I make, the depth of knowledge, the passion for certain topics, the general lack of...

    Vintage buses

    Yikes.

    Religion and Spirituality

    I know this person pretty well and I've known him for years... and in this case, things in general seemed to be going well. Although, having a son with autism... and then later discovering he was gay might have been a contributing factor. Some Christian churches still have an "anti-gay" stance...

    Vintage buses

    As you say... "running on special days". In this context, I am sure they are given exemptions to all the emissions and safety standards that the newer buses are subject to... similar to how vintage automobiles are often given exemptions. Keep in mind, Scotland still runs steam trains for...

    Boredom with food

    I have similar situation... mainly from a poor sense of smell. The foods I tend to seek out are those with a lot of sweet and spicy... like spicy hot Chinese dishes, Mex-Tex chili, spicy ribs, hot n' spicy meaty pizzas, etc. Otherwise... most foods are neither good nor bad.

    CARS-2 Scoring

    Just for reference, since many of us are adults here: Childhood Autism Rating Scale Explained: CARS vs. CARS-2, Cutoffs, and Use Cases One, keep in mind he is still quite young and even amongst neurotypical children in the population, there is quite a bit of variability at this age in terms of...

    solving Autism

    I am learning that all of this has a high degree of complexity and things might not be as they may appear on the surface. In many of these cases, it is a neurodevelopmental issue... such as abnormal neuronal formation and/or migrational patterns... and not an "injury model" per se. Cells may...

    solving Autism

    "Apples and oranges" perhaps. Great to hear about your son. As the meta-analysis above suggests there are times when "3s" become "2s"... and "2s" become "1s"... but many do not, as well. I know many of us, likely the majority, on this forum are "1s", but there are also a lot of parents of 2s...

    solving Autism

    All the data I have queried suggests a rise in 2s and 3s, and an increase in special ed class loads.

    Atopic dermatitis

    Sometimes it is helpful to dig into the specific compounds of what is causing the dermatitis... as there may be other things in your environment that contain similar compounds. As an example: Years ago, my wife developed a latex allergy from the cheap latex gloves they supplied us with at the...

    solving Autism

    I understand your perspective on this topic. Yes... much of the attention has been given towards the statistical rise in ASD-1s, but I guess I don't see it as turning a blind eye on ASD2/3 cases, per se. In fact, I might suggest, from the layperson, public perspective when someone says...

    solving Autism

    AI Overview The overall number of autism diagnoses is rising, but there isn't evidence of a proportional rise specifically in Level 2 and Level 3 (more severe) autism diagnoses, with the increase primarily driven by a higher ability to identify more subtle autism traits. While severity can...

    Nonstop Analyzing After Conversations Makes Me Hesitant to Actually Have Conversations

    Well said. @cai24... If I have anxiety, it is more of a "situational" rather than a "social". I don't have these issues, personally. Maybe I am too emotionally and socially naive to understand all the nuances of social conversation... I know I miss a lot of non-verbal communication. However...

    Religion and Spirituality

    Agree, a co-worker of mine and I were having a conversation about this. He was very much into his religion... even had an internet blog... was a Christian youth leader. However, a few years ago, he had a bit of an epiphany of sorts, and realized he was simply "going through the motions" and...
