Echosmith issue statement in response to Graham Sierota sending DMs to Travis Barker’s 13-year-old daughter
At FIRST, I thought, oh no, not another pedophile shaming us. THEN, I did understand as I read on. I can see myself being in HIS shoes now He meant he was a fan of her music and inviting her was to try to hang out and maybe also talk music with her, and he came off as asking her out and he surely did know she was a minor but didn't intend it that way, I imagine Again, at first I thought, ok that is NO excuse. But then I did read on and now I understand it was a misunderstanding. One hand, embarrassing to be a big deal. Other hand, learning experience I guess. I do know why she interpreted it that way, though not 40....he doesn't look 40

Flat 'Affect'
Last summer, my husband and I had some new friends over for lunch. They brought along their two young boys. Toward the end of the meal, the 5-year-old, who was sitting next to me, looked at me and …

Thought Police Target Teen with Asperger’s
I dont think pandering is good (it is extremely annoying, 1sthand on calling-out or admins blatantly switching from warning to praise even if in hating Thunberg, comparing to Epstein's distasteful) but i dont think this defense is pandering either. To excuse bad behavior, it must be well bad. Plus, i'm sorry but this is a bit funny

When Logic Fails: Asperger’s and Grief (part two of two)
Not just by death. In fact in several ways, losing someone alive is harder logically speaking given the unknown's propensity for return as both hope+disappointment, the premonition of lifespan by species, the lack of commodification all-'round. In death, never anger. In otherwise loss, occasional but rare for a few seconds followed by guilt but even that's a big "if." Never denial in death nor other loss, only lucid attempts to delude myself it was a nightmare in the latter once

Family of boy with autism outraged after he’s accused of sexual harassment
Metoo, it is said'll make it harder to flirt. An "anti-ablism" activist on the spectrum lauded as much too. This was no flirt either but metoo affects more than that. It is sick, sad really. They actually cannot put it on your record but even if it were a flirt, CPS...really? This is why i distrust institutions+movements. If you've read the Aspergers subreddit, adult aspies are being massacred by this all too. i do lizard lips even in private so it needs no interaction, just being outside too to be ostracized. I'm not at all a negative (nor) utilitarian but...i almost, IDK sometimes wonder

"Effective Altruism" in ASD? Just no...
Not "shilling" for OBI nor their misdefinition of Libertarianism where citizenship's unpraxiological for purposes of the political-economy than cultural-views which range from ethnic to open...let alone their endless buzzwords. ASD in Libertarianism's a 1-way composition as w/ Bernbros but most of either aren't Aspies. A valid hypothesis is why are "NTs" attracted to "middle-grounds?" They've normally almost as much Oxytocin - a protein which's notoriously deficient in mapping of ASD & proven to also regard welfare - as the left. Steve's being nonliteral here anyway & Caplan's position, simply unhelpful to context of why Land wrote that.

Hans Asperger Vindicated!
I imagine that was Ernst K. Zinner Gillberg's convinced even if its quotation-marks are confusing whereas Whitely holds to the renewed/official narrative over what he alludes to as unoriginal I've seen the spandrel-argument being used to explain male fascination w/ trains as an Aspergers' thing...I've always assumed that's just Sheldon Cooper but apparently not

Boys with Autism, Related Disorders, Have High Levels of Growth Hormones
Heteroangular caveats are mistreated as if anecdotal by endocrinogenetic (bone density isn't even causal to lipids...antiinnatia relies upon such peripheral examples to propose interfunctionality) proponents & further throws willingness to replicate phrenoformativity out w/ the bathwater despite divergent factorization of contexts.

The myth of the black Aspergian
As far as the Subsahara goes at least to the best of our knowledge, Aspies really only inhabit regions surrounding or in Ethiopia (though i feel its post-mesolithic continuity is less expressive due to factors unrelated to share). Statistical insignificance might be a bigger factor if his observations didn't reflect a 5-10x less frequency & it doesn't answer the difference between healthcare or acceptance but symptoms do shine through if that were the case.

INTJ ESFJ Relationships
I vehemently disagree...my 1st+truest love fits this profile & we've been together for almost a decade now despite her knowing the darkest parts of me that I block from memory out of shame/conscience. Everybody forewarned we'd never last after all my quirks but they eventually ate their critiques & admitted that still being around, they've never seen anything like it. Compatibility's hugely patterned towards apples+oranges

TBL1X & Aspies
CTNNA3-deletion opens susceptibilities but EN2's only pathognomonic to Schizophrenia & a unique MER41-sequence triggers reclusive tendencies...missense in the BA9 separates our gyrification in part from classic, as does our truncated ANKRD11. ASPM might or not be almost a phenocopy of sorts, I think larger skulls mismatch form of regression w/o contemplating the shape. Though many us are atheists, I don't buy it relates to anymore a majority than lefthandedness. Chromosomal abnormalities might better explain HFA like NOS
