Normally, you find this in people who have taken large amounts of LSD type drugs, combined with a severly abusive past, thus resulting in a very mixed presentation of whatever it is they feel will bring them the most attention and nurturing. Autism is popular today, so many mentally ill persons are adopting this persona. Mainly, because few, if any professionals or media will challenge such a diagnosis after even a less than competant professional duped by the complexity of the presentation---validates it. Ooops, than it becomes a save face issue, where neither the media or the professionals (not to forget publishers who publish stories that later turn out not to be autistic people) involved in the faulty diagnosis want to be embarrassed. This is unfortunate, as this does a great disservice to the autism community in general. Recall the Amanda Baggs controversy and the case of Ms. Donna Williams. You Tube has a recent video out discussing some of this I've mentioned. It is on you tube under the name, "autism spectrum seems out of control" and another video named, "autism epidemic out of control." The video has most definately hit on something few outside psychoanalytical or psychiatric circles, have even noticed.

The love you can give - the way, the intensity. You know how to give love. Tears of joy. The love you can give – the way, the intensity.
You know how to give love.

She can handle trouble and carry burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like crying, she laughs when she's afraid. She'll take your pain knowing it will give you light. Her love is unconditional. There is only one thing wrong with her........she forgets what she's worth. ~143 A best friend has strengths that are amazing. She can handle trouble and carry burdens.

My seemingly safe little-bourgeois world is crashing. Borders UK went into admin earlier this week. i am raking in the obvious bargains that come with the liquidation one of the most beautifully functional shops in the UK (the Brits have, generally, no clue). It is (with the Starbucks it has inside it) the closest shop to my home. And the, when i least expect it. My seemingly safe little-bourgeois world is crashing.

Maybe. Actually YES of course! You just need to pay up rather than request to contribute. Yet i guess dictatorships would not exactly be up to pick up any tab exceeding $2000 approx. per minister. Not even as little as that!! i challenge you to find any other country where ministers are so disinterested as to forego most of their monthly expenses. Dictactors democratically elected?! Maybe.
