My family seem to be on the boat that Autism is like a disease and needs to be cured

Has anyone heard of "Autism Speaks"

It's an autistic awareness organization that I've heard terrible things about

But my family supports it and says that the terrible things people say about it are just propaganda BS
It indeed is terrible. Everything I've heard about it seems to support that.

$1.500 for a single courtyard title in Sims Freeplay.
But it's an EA game, what was I expecting.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's as a child. Your family though, lol, it's not curable except high functioning autism like Asperger's can sometimes "not meet diagnostic standards" with age. But in a lot of ways I don't disagree, high functioning forms can have benefits sure (Albert Einstein most likely for one) but it's generally better to not have a cognitive difference or disability, period.

Thats like saying I can "cure" my ADHD and my Homosexuality
Oh don't get me started on ADHD. The symptoms sound a lot like bored young people with terrible attention spans....kind of like a hell of a lot of young people throughout history. Why is this a diagnosis now and why do we have to pump these kids full of dope without thinking of the repercussions?

^This isn't a unique viewpoint, a lot of doctors have this.

^Here's a disagreement, which concludes that it is a valid diagnosis, but the fact that this is even debated means something to me...

Crossbones' design in the Captain America movie looks cool. I guess the only thing I'd suggest is that the white paint looks even more like a skull. But otherwise, he looks really cool.

Now I'm wondering if it's a blessing or a curse that autism awareness is very low here.

Although I wouldn't mind being mixed with a rabbit

So Square Enix delayed their E3 press conference by 1 hour to avoid conflict with Nintendo's.

Smart move.
Well, that's obviously a smart move.

Just about any third party company is gonna get neglected when it comes to the Big 3 console makers.

Why? I have scientific backing that a lot of kids are simply hyperactive and impulsive. ADHD is over-diagnosed as all hell

Who cares anyway ? He's still a normal guy.
I think it's pretty interesting and helpful to Autistic people to see a big success story. That's why @ PsychoIncarnate PsychoIncarnate brought it up anyways. The dude is probably rich and is certainly very successful.

*reads as someone who has ADD + ADHD*

This brought a tear to my eyes :crying:

Apparently the creator of pokemon has autism
he does and if you want to know my stance, it makes sense. idk if Sakurai has it, but it's not something I would be impressed....

There;s a lot of famous people that seems to have had it....the thing about autism is it's not ENTIRELY an handicap, it's a huige performance gain for the trade off of something that makes your life harder. UIf you know how to master it, it can actually become like me something I love to live with (there's many reasons I love it honestly).

Holy **** at first I read that as $1,500 O_O
Wouldn't be surprising for EA tho.
It's $1,500 in-game money for a single title.
For reference, you get that for the equivalent of a Sim's work period. (5-8 hours)
