Seeing as the old thread was not only dead, but also vague in title, I think it's time for a new thread for this ever-so-interesting topic.
I decided it would be best to narrow down the topic to not include the other types of low-functioning Autism, as they are not as pertinent as to what most people discussed in the previous threads. Also, Spectrum Disorder is medically classified out side the Autism spectrum, but still part of the larger spectrum that contains Autism. With that said, post away!
As far as what I think about Spectrum Disorder (and as a person with it), I see it as an immense gift to have. I firmly believe that the human race is done progressing physically and is evolving further in our minds. Spectrum Disorder is that new step in our evolution, and as far as human attraction goes, I definitely see it breeding out neurotypicals over the span of a millenia or two. See, as a person with it, I've oddly been attracted to women who have blood relations to the disorder (don't ask me how). I've had a major attraction to two girls since elementary school, and both of them have brothers with Spectrum Disorder. Judging by this, I think that there's some underlying genetics behind us who have it being attracted to others who either have it or are closely related to it. It'll be very interesting to see how people like us pan out in the future...
As far as how I handle the disorder, I like to defend my disorder, as my bipolar, ADHD, and Tourette's Syndrome often are the real culprits behind what goes wrong with me on a daily basis, and more often than not my Spectrum disorder gets blamed for it.
Some good questions to answer would be "Do you have Spectrum Disorder?" "Do you know someone with the disorder?" "How do you handle it?" "What do you think the fate of the disorder will be?"
