I KNOW. Duesberg is still employed at UCB, because of tenure. Unbelievable.

Reading this on World AIDS Day really pisses me off. I did HIV antiretroviral research with HIV positive patients in Oakland, CA in the late 90’s. It was so great to see people get better, and not *die*. Mbeki was president of South Africa then, and he believed in the HIV-doesn’t-cause-AIDS nonsense, so some…

Hey now that’s a great idea!

Exactly. Trying and failing to find anything wrong with the described behavior.

1. Your MD ignores you cuz you’re a tad hypochondriac. That being said, ask for a referral to a urologist for groin pain.

Been a nurse for long enough to tell you that older men’s penises seem to disappear. During bathing, sometime you have to go searching for it. I admit I once looked at a man’s wife with sadness.

I wore an actual crinoline under my wedding dress...in 1985. Like pantyhose, I assumed they’re all gone from modern closets now.

Abe et al. Knew how stupid Trump is so they put the correct amount of food in the box. Therefore we can all be reassured that the entire world knows Trump is a “big stupid baby”.

Woody Allen, though. Why is his reputation still intact enough to work in the industry? Original Hollywood O.G. pedophile.

If it’s a crime, don’t you have a duty to report it?

I am fortunate to live on Hawaii Island, where “over 200 avocado varieties” are grown (http://www.hawaiifruit.net/Avocado.pdf http://www.hawaiifruit.net/Avocado.pdf) and can tell you that eating the ones with less fat is significantly less enjoyable than the fatty Haas ones y’all are used to. I just threw out 1/2 a…

I just can’t imagine seeing that guy naked and actually *wanting* to have sex with him. Could she really have done that for money? Sorry, not for a million bucks.

I guess you didn’t read what I wrote, so why bother to reply? I said “pretty much” and “partly”. Also, I didn’t say jack about “extreme male brain theory”.

EXACTLY.

Your “But I make eye contact” reminds me of my mother: “But you weren’t a clumsy child”. To this day she and all lay people I know REFUSE to believe my Aspy dx. Stupid DSM and the NT’s who write them. Also: about eye contact. I make too much, and I think it’s cuz I have such a hard time reading people that I have…

Autism is a neurosensory disorder, so we have issues with all of our senses. Touch: hate tags in clothes. Sound: plug ears. Etc. Some think rocking/stimming help shut out overwhelming stimuli.

Same here. The frustrating thing is that nobody I know believes that I have it, except my healthcare providers.

He and others have pretty much proven that an excess of testosterone in utero is partly the cause.

As a woman on the spectrum, I can say that my experience is the opposite. Socializing with females from birth (including with my mom) to now age of 53 is the most puzzling thing in my whole life. Whereas I can hang with guys very easily. They have much fewer social rules.

None, according to multiple studies.
