| I'm thinking Type 2s would probably have some obvious issues with certain aspects of IQ. So for instance, maybe they have trouble reading/understanding texts, or with spatial awareness (who's always getting lost?) or short-term memory (what was that phone number again?). But at the same time they m... |

| People tend to think bullying isn't legitimately traumatic for some reason. But it absolutely is. It's basically peer-enforced abuse. Although I've spoken quite a lot online about the bullying I was subjected to,it wasn't something I discussed with the mental health professionals I saw. I thought y... |

I still remember the monkey chants directed at me by the rest of the class. I was very unpopular.There was no help and suppo... |

| I'm quite bad re drinking enough fluids. I can get dry mouthed ,headachy and nauseous . Hunger was a major problem when I lived in Essex. I'd eat and not feel full up. It didn't help that I lived in a tower block in the poor part of town that was heavily targetted by takeaway places. I had over 20 t... |

| A pessimistic prediction based on past events. Tories eventually f*** up enough for voters' who excuse their incompetence far more than they excuse any by Labour', to vote them out. Labour's does its best to clear the mess up, but the voters aren't content with that. Tories regain power, and proceed... |

| ^ I don't see it as a competition. I do it see it, as with mental illness, as a situation where resources are thin on the ground and it's a post code lottery as to the level and quality of help and support you can get . I first saw a pdoc c October 1973 . First hospitalised May 1975. Asperger's dx M... |

| There are absolutely levels in autism. I like how the DSM categorized autism into 3 levels. The levels are clearly defined based on how much support a person requires as a result of their autism. Level 1: Requiring support Level 2: Requiring substantial support Level 3: Requiring very substantial s... |

| ^ ^ I agree- but my report itself shows my level of risk for each test / ability. I wouldn’t want to carry my report around bc it’s 30 pages but at least everything is specified.
