| So you want a Vaccine for Autism and somehow that's not offensive to autistics? Am I understanding you correctly? Yes. Not mandatory, but people should have the option to be cured. And parents should have the option to choose whether or not they want to cure their kids' autism. Let's face it, autis... |

| If you've met one Autistic you've met one Autistic. We are all different. And it appears to me that medical science does not yet understand Autism. It looks to me like they had an assortment of things with overlapping characteristics and, since they didn't know what caused any of them or even if the... |

| IMDb's "Trivia" for Red Dwarf includes the following: Because the series was made by the BBC's light entertainment department, it had a better budget when it started than the drama department's long-running science fiction series Doctor Who (1963) at the same time. According to Sophie Aldr... |

| I don't know whether you have the same problem as I do but sometimes I can smell something but I can't figure out exactly what the smell is or where it is coming from. I finally broke down and bought an electronic, portable, hand-held nose to help me with this. It has been working GREAT! Except...it... |

| Welcome to WP! Routines and familiarity definitely most comfortable. When change or disruption seems unavoidable then easing into the new stuff gradually and repetitively, if possible, can sometimes help. Meet the new stuff in small doses and under your control and then...as they become more familia... |
