For those of use that found out we were autistic as adults, how did you find out? What caused you to consider that you were autistic? What confirmed it?
  • My son was diagnosed before he even turned 3 and his younger sister was being assessed, both of them are non-verbal. What I was learning about it put so many things from my entire childhood and youth in perspective and everything finally made sense, so I consulted and sure enough was diagnosed myself. My parents refused to accept it, they said I'm making excuses to not act "normally" and have cut all contact. I made my peace with that and am grateful about it, I no longer have to tolerate toxic people demeaning me for who I am, and my children sure don't deserve that.

  • Help on how to interact with my brother.
  • Don't try to connect from where you are. Reach him where he is. Learn his language, and learn to think like him, and don't force it. Remember that it is as hard for him to connect with others as it is for you to connect with him, that doesn't mean he doesn't want to or care.

  • Vexatious litigant accused of leaving dead ferret in man's freezer

    Fascinating read about a serial fraudster, and I honestly wish they could explain what the dead ferret has to do with all her criminal activities.

    "We've had rats the size of Crocs just running up and down the street. Like a Croc shoe? A average size eight, running up and down the street," one Harlem resident said.

    Crocs as in the much-maligned footwear, not the reptile often read about in "Florida Man" articles.

    How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?
  • Because this needs to be done 1000% right, there is no margin for error, everything has to be done in an iron clad manner that cannot be dismantled by half-assing it. Indicting a former president is a first in the history of this country, and this former president is nothing short of a cult leader with millions of unshakable followers, many of whom are armed to the teeth and ready to burn this country to the ground for him. So this has to be done very friggin carefully.
