Let's Talk Autism

This group is for anybody here at Minds who wants to talk autism. It isn't just a clique-y group for those who ARE on the autism spectrum themselves or for those who have LOVED ones - children, siblings, spouses etc. - on the autism spectrum. Anyone who truly WANTS to learn more about what autism is and how it affects those living with it is welcome. There are no rules (well, there's ONE..., as a member OF this group you cannot block the creator, that's just bad form ๐Ÿคจ), this is an open - currently unmoderated - group where you can talk/ask about anything and everything autism related, as long as you keep it somewhat CIVIL. You participate at your own discretion - don't talk about things you don't want others to know about. Also, if there's anything written/mentioned in a post or comment that you don't understand for whatever reason, just ASK. Someone will be able to explain it to you. There ARE no stupid questions.

Is autism still being discussed on here? I'm a neurocognitive scientist, been studying the condition for 20+ years.

Seriously..., you call this TRUTH?!? "The reason there are no baby boomers with autism..." Let me stop you (or rather your "friend") right there. No baby boomers (born between 1946 โ€“ 1964) with autism? Hold my beer. Autism as a DIAGNOSIS didn't really come about until the...See more

This meme forgets the best part: You get an opportunity to act like a Sith Lord.

I'll throw this out there in case anyone sees it. I have come up with a working description for the coordination problems associated with Asperger's Syndrome, and all that is required to understand it is to watch Die Hard 2 - which everyone does at Christmas. Everyone's brain...See more
