    It took 20 years for me to find out that I have milder symptoms of Intellectual Disability

    IQs are now parsed out so you can see where you excel and where you lack. It is common that autistics have brilliance (and I mean the chart will actually say: VERY Highly Superior, etc) followed by another measure that reads: Below Average. Ouch. That is why a lot of autistics suffer so much...

    Greetings from Wanderland

    Welcome! Many idea lovers in this place. Please do elaborate on your readings and musings! Ancient-wisdom miner here. If the author is so old that his/her remains are not only lost forever but their very existence (either in part or whole) can be called into question, well, bring it on. :-D

    What is Unspecified Intellectual Disability?

    These things change throughout history and cultures. In the ancient world, it was over the cliff or onto the baby pile. It was not safe to be "different" because the pack depended on one another. Then, especially after WWII, no one wanted to be like the Nazis. Prior to WWII, the US was busily...

    Trauma Response

    Yes, good point. Alone might actually be better because then you are free to feel what you feel without having to explain. I watched it with a very good friend first time and was free to cry or feel whatever, but second time with an emotionless clod and that was awkward.

    Extremely powerful movie. Jarring to say the least. Don't watch it alone is all I have to say.

    Help/Support for Insomnia

    It is a very strict regimen where you basically disconnect ALL light, even flipping the fuse if you must. No flashlights. Nothing. You go by Nature. When the sun goes down, no light. That way the natural way it is supposed to work----actually works. Melatonin is released. In the morning, you let...

    Suicide hotlines are useless

    Totally useless. Further, possibly even dangerous. First.....There are many who are ordered to sit on those lines for community service because they did something wrong. How brilliant is that?! I knew a guy who cheated on his GF and called one of those lines and the woman told him to go...

    Interesting article on brain structure and autism

    The amygdala is also enlarged in PTSD, so maybe they had birth trauma and MAYBE the little kids have PTSD from some weird dr stuffing them into an MRI at regular intervals.

    My ex does not seem to remember positive events when he was breaking up with me

    Get away from people who confuse you. Go from Confuse NT Girl to Clarified NT Girl.

    Should I be friends again with my (ASD) ex

    He is confusing you. He wants you there when he wants you there. Don't let anyone confuse you. Many of us are NOT confusing. We are actually quite clear. Personally, I would walk away...... know someone will cherish you and love you and want the same things you want. Don't get trapped into...
