Actually, better book recommendation. "How to Argue and Win Every Time" by Gerry Spence. The audiobook is probably better, because it gets the affect that...
Your brother wouldn't be named Andy, would he? (I know a guy named Andy who has a fairly morbid domination fantasy). I wish I was geographically closer. I...
Toilet training more or less permanently fixed me shitting on myself. It's still a strategy, even if it is permanent. Well, at least until I get older. You...
Erika, ... <I laughed pretty hard> Let me say that if he "got laid" then *he* would perceive that as a significant "breakthrough" towards a "cure". And if he...
Erika, I think your brother might be confusing "cured" and "laid." I know much of my dieting activity circa 1997-2000 was in an effort to get laid, rather than...
... I meant the term "cure" in *not* just "learning a strategy" to "cope" with difficulties. I meant a "cure" like when you get laser-eye-surgery and it...

[Humor] Did God put in the bible that "thou shall have a typical neurology". [/Humor] I've actually wondered that. If so, it's part of the curse of Genesis 3....
... I don't know of any autistic qualities that are inherently undesirable just because they are not how NTs do things. I do know of many cases where an...
About a "cure" ... What exactly does everyone mean when they say "cure"? I am not certain we have agreement. I have been using "cure" to mean voluntarily...
