Language is used to communicate understanding or request it. What use of language when you know what the other person is thinking and you know they are incapable of understanding you?
You do realize society didn't sit down and write a bunch of rules to confuse people like you right?
They developed over thousands of years of human INTERACTION. Try interacting with humans instead of trying to extract data from them, might work better.
I have to say I didn't find this very funny. On the other hand, the truthness gives it some funny. I almost feel sorry for any psychologist forced to interact with me.
Not that I like psychiatrists at all, but you do realize that psychiatrists ARE medical doctors and those crazy techniques are from medical science. That being said, I don't like medical doctors either:)
So your fear of losing what you have is making you afraid of what you could possibly gain?
Have you ever thought that, yes, you will definitely change, but not because you lost something, but because you have gained something. The gaining may change the interpretation of what was there before but you will not lose it.
That being said, there are somethings I do miss. Before I could see the world, I had an unmatched freedom to be anywhere my imagination could take me. Now, I can still go inside, but ever since I started assembling the 3d world that unfettered feeling no longer exists. After all, whenever I open my eyes here I am constantly contained within the construct. And while I miss it, I wouldn't give up everything I've gained to return to that previous state. Anything seems possible in the darkness, shedding light on something shows us the truth of the matter.
Recognizing where you are is the first step to moving to where you want to be.
Let us assume that ASD has a very strong perceptual component to it. After all, something is going on that other's seem to perceive and yet we don't (or so we think), or if we do pick up on it, the logic of it never seems to make sense.
Is perception malleable? What determines a persons Point-of-View?
I like to think that all human qualities lie on continuums. Because a large part of the population is trapped inside a 3d mind construct of concrete objects we tend to think that a persons place on theses continuums is unalterable and perhaps predetermined. Why? Where do these continuums lie?
Is the exhiliration of examining a problem, dissasembling it and finding the swiftest route to the solution, any different than the exhiliration at discovering the right sequence and timing of movements to clear the bar on a high jump?
Do we even notice the continuums that we travel with ease? For thinkers, is it easy for you to see both sides of an argument?
We are two brains, four personalities, each with control over it's own domain of continuums. Why aren't we being all we can be?
hmm, okay, might have pushed it too far with the last part. All that to say, yes, it's sort of possible to 'cure' autism. You won't turn into a NT because let's face it, stuck on the other side of a continuum doesn't make you a better human at all because you're still stuck. What you get though, is a vastly increased field of view, the ability to use various abilities along the continuums, and life becomes easier because you gain an internal support system that is unequaled by anything external....makes you slightly incomprehensible to those unprepared to see the other side though...
Ah, Ok, US bread is bad for USians, well, anybody in general:)
Some countries actually have healthy bread and the high carb load(complex) is essential when your lifestyle actually requires you to move:)
BTW, one could argue brown rice is a MORE bad thing. Without proper soaking, preferably with water already full of enzymes, brown rice is more toxic and has reduced bio-availability.
Maybe it acts as a demulcent in your mouth, inside your digestive system is a different story. I think it's excellent for topical use, or temporarily as a demulcent for sore throats.
However, do a simple experiment. Try and do a master cleanse for a few days with honey, then try it with maple-syrup (or even cane-sugar).
A smart parent would make a rule about storing these pieces to make bread pudding, dressing (stuffing for the USians), or bread crumbs to top mac&cheese or etc...
Children aren't stupid. If they realize they can get a tasty treat by doing some small tasks beforehand you're already half way there. As a bonus, you're teaching them essential living skills.
Why would you stop reading date limits if you are no longer in an environment where your food is specially treated to last long and when you've seen that even with extraordinary measures some of the food still goes bad?
The funny thing is that most of those multi-grain breads aren't healthier. Sure, they might contain a bit more whole-grain, but lots of them are just the same white bread in disquise, and a few of them are even full of more additives. Kind of like when whole-wheat bread was just white flour with some bran thrown back in.
Female people aren't girls. In fact, anybody who refers to themselves as a female person probably associates more with a theoretical androgynous human (dreams of equality can throw you seriously off balance) rather than with the reality of the female sex.
So you see, your posts don't get modded up because you aren't a girl. Now girlintraining, she recognises balance and won't let her intellect stop her from being (or at least trying at this stage:) ) a girl and developing into a woman.

..or at least understand NT's! :)
It's always good to know your general location before attempting a journey.
Still a good way to express love.

You don't know what an Ashram is, do everybody a favour and don't use the word.

Whether you're intelligent enough to know how to use it is a different story.
BTW, we should definitely cure the Righteous and the Sinister. In fact the 'cure' is exactly the same as the 'cure' for ASD.
It is possible.

So, everything is fine if you're a spherical Aspie in a vacuum...

You've obviously never been to any developing countries. Food waste is human stupidity, not confined to culture.

You do realize not everybody lives in sugar addicted countries right? Yeast are fine eating the sugars in the wheat.
Not all breads are created equal, nor all people.
You can make bread the way it's been made for thousands of years before the US got their hands on it... NO sugar!

You're not a robot, and neither is anybody else, so learn to deal with it. Might as well learn to admit when you're wrong as well.
No, your lack of reading comprehension suggests you're an idiot. Lighter heads = less wear and tear on the DRIVE. It's called context.
