autism
CRO I saw a documentary about autism the other night.

Telltale signs: Withdrawn from society, arranges things in patterns, especially lined up like soldiers - and the big kahuna - can't make or keep eye contact.

of course, there are varying degrees of severity, each having more or less attributes, but I seem to fit the basic requirements.

I wonder if I should be concerned?

Israel We are all autistic in our own ways, it's sad that all these little diseases doctors invent for the way people are, People are people. hundreds of years ago when people we're born with autism they were just thought to be different. Not diseased. Don't let falsification thru Classification Deny you freedom in your everyday Disposition of life. 050303

oldephebe You said it Israel

man i feel like gettin' up and with my eyes wide and sayin' in that ol' baptist way..."Say it! Go on!" and then you know stomp, do a shoulder shiver, fan myself with one of those ubiquitous paper thin church fans and pant prayerfully yes lord YES LAWD. and then sit down all composed as if nothing just happened.

oldephebe but then because of my own mild form of what i think is a kind of autism or inability to process certain emotions, i would probably just nod soberly even though inside i'm saying man he/she really broke it DOWN ya'll!!

Casey I work with autistic kids. They are all completely different from each other in every way. Some wont touch you, others wont let go. Some speak, others do not. Some are nice, some are hurtful. 071126

unhinged (clarification: my cousin started taking lithium when she was 13 or 14; she took lithium during her pregnancy with ethan. never 'medically proven' that that is what caused his autism, but i am willing to bet. just one of the many reasons that to this day i refuse to take pills for my 'mental problems') 071128
