Look , it's just an internet forum. If autistic licence should be allowed anywhere, it's here.

Yep, seems that there may be a member or two here that fit on the spectrum.

We know some members get headaches from diet drinks; that's common on the spectrum. One I learned more recently about the spectrum is they can have triple the oxalate of the rest of us.
Oxalate also inhibits the delivery of iron to cells. It has been suggested that oxalate rises high enough to cause anemia in autism.

In autistics with high oxalate levels, is there a corresponding rise in the incidence of kidney stones too?

Good question. I still haven't double checked the first fact. Guess I'll look into this at the same time. There was mention of crystals potentially affecting the brain.

I heard that diet soft drinks lead to people experiencing PTSD from very minor issues that the rest of us see as trivial. Those things are scary. Stay away from them! I think the aspartame makes them freak out and start getting paranoid. Move states even!

I actually had a discussion with an Autistic girl a while back and she was pretty annoyed that another girl in the conversation said 'we are all on the spectrum'. Apparently this is not true, at least from what this girl said, and she clearly had autistic traits.

Pcdefender getting suspended for posting Nazi imagery got me wondering how the suspension system actually works. Is the time in the sin bin related to the degree of the offence? Is it an arbitrary time out? Is recidivism a factor? Anyone know?

I think it will cut down lots of responses in STB as no one will need to try and resolve any misunderstandings of how the world works.
I am not sure that's a good thing though.

Can anyone else step-up as a CTer of the day/week?
