Justice—a subject near and dear to my heart. One thing I find that most of us Aspies have in common is a profound sense of justice and morality. Admittedly it may not be the same sense of justice that others have but that shouldn’t surprise anyone by now because we …
You know the kind of day when you have a ton of things planned to accomplish and can get to none of it; when the lights are too damn bright, the kids are too damn loud, and the madness does not stop for a single flipping second, and you really …

I came across a “new” study today that said that ASD kids are more trusting than their neuro-typical counterparts, and am wondering what is new about this information? I’ve know that I’ve been too trusting for years—in fact, I wrote about this exact subject in a post a year …
