I suspect you're the type of guy that would point & laugh at a developmentally disabled child.

No, in person I wouldn't. I have compassion for real people. But, I have a short fuse and a thin skin and sometimes I say stupid things that I shouldn't.

I had a lot of problems in grade school. There were times when I was paddled. I got paddled everyday for a week before I told my mom. Nobody really knew anything about autism or ASDs back then. I was more advanced academically than the other kids my age but I did not play well with others. They wanted to medicate me but my mother wouldn't allow it. I was sent to a child guidance center but they really had no experience or knowledge about ASDs. I was evaluated and tested for days by someone from the state of California when I was in 4th grade and they let me out of school because I was advanced (nowadays they put kids in advanced classes, they just let me skip school.) I have been in counseling on & off throughout my life. I recently stopped going. I've also read books in an attempt to improve my social skills. I have empathy for others now but not because it's something I feel, but because it's something I should feel. I'm a lot better emotionally, but it still very much affects my social life. I have OCD. I remember number sequences. I know the VIN numbers and license plate numbers on all of my vehicles. It comes in handy at work, I remember meter serial numbers at many addresses in my work area. I remember key numbers for almost all of the addresses on my 42 routes.

My parents always had a slight suspicion I had it but never did anything about it. At least you have improved emotionally. I know how some of what you mentioned sucks.

You guys are a hoot.

If you're a sensitive poster and an outspoken one you get picked apart. If you're a by the book poster you get picked apart.

Moody group with have here.

If you are a Kyle Busch fan you get picked apart
If you are a Joey fan you get torn apart
if you are a Gordon fan all you get is luv

Hmmm, I apologize if I offended you.

Nope.

Slice gets in trouble because he makes too many threads professing his undying love and forcing him down our throats.

Kyle fans are generally left alone, but the driver does not.

And of course, Gordon gets a shrine by us Gordon fans.

I admire Slices loyalty to his driver, matter of fact I admire loyalty in general.
No admiration for Joey though ---------- pencil neck little ****

I can't help it but every time I see the Aflac commercial with the duck banging his head against the mirror I think of kybu.
