    Autism traits could be 'edited' out genetic trial suggests

    While they're at it, might as well eliminate all genetic "disorders". And also, it's not good for people to be over or under weight, they can fix the genes for that. And let's make sure nobody is too tall or too short, it'll be more comfortable for everyone, right? And IQ, let's get rid of low...

    Autism traits could be 'edited' out genetic trial suggests

    Genetic modification of humans is illegal, isn't it? If it's not, it needs to be.

    What’d you score on the Autistic Quotient test?

    36. I have no diagnosis, but have always been "odd" and two of my kids have autism.

    Do you fancy or crush on fictional Characters?

    I don't think I've ever had a crush on a real life person, only on fictional characters.

    Are there any completer finishers here?

    Me too, I start things and get sidetracked. There are just so many interesting things and not enough time to do them all, especially with all the less interesting but necessary things that need to be done.

    Are romantic relationships/sex not that big of a deal for NT's?

    Well..... If you've met one NT, you've met one NT. Some people take relationships very seriously, others are quite casual about them, and others avoid them for a variety of reasons, and people's attitudes may change throughout their lives. You really can't generalize. Do you have a more...

    Anyone on here have a man cave or she shed?

    @What time is it? Thanks so much! I've been busy yesterday and will be again today, my son is graduating high school. I'll try to get some pictures and maybe draw a sketch with dimensions on the weekend. The adult son of the previous landowner lived there, and he left much of his furniture...

    Anyone on here have a man cave or she shed?

    Oh, I have to add: I have a few pieces of not valuable antique furniture that I want to use. I have a writing desk, a telephone bench (?), a small shelf, and a sewing machine table. Also, I'd love to be able to display my very tiny piece of moon rock. (As small as you can think of, it's...

    Anyone on here have a man cave or she shed?

    I have a wall of books, 7 feet high by 10 feet long, plus a few boxes. I also have a Kindle. I can't get rid of any books - it would be like giving away a beloved pet - but I'm trying to not bring in too many more. As for the laboratory, I dream of having a cad computer and 3d printer, and...

    Anyone on here have a man cave or she shed?

    You folks have inspired me. I want to set up library and laboratory. Upstairs has good light but low ceiling. I could use it as library/reading room, but I'd have to build or buy all new shelves. What can I do to brighten the downstairs? This is what I've got to work with. All the lights are...

    How can I hold myself together for the babies?

    And it usually works, but the only 100% effective prevention is abstinence.

    Do you prefer Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter fashion?

    I love my plain turtleneck shirts. In warm weather I never know what to wear and always feel awkward in my clothes. I don't really do "summer clothes" I guess.

    How can I hold myself together for the babies?

    It's the biological urge to be a mother. Whatever you do, unless you are ready to be a parent, don't have sex!

    Anyone on here have a man cave or she shed?

    We have a "barn" which is a prefabricated two story shed. Someone used to live there, and they've done some work on it. It currently is "finished" but doesn't have much style and the plumbing needs work. We use it to store things. I'd like to turn it into something useful and beautiful, but...

    Anyone on here have a man cave or she shed?

    Ah! Then my house has one of those. I call it the zombie chamber. These guys haven't decorated, but two of the three have impressive computers set up. Wherever I need a man, I just look in there and find one. My decorations are not particularly feminine and I don't mind feet up, though I do...
