		<description>That man has so many problems, I fear for his family! So much hate, one hopes the net is his only outlet, and that hatred does bleed off into his family! It is not healthy to so hatefull and self righteous! There are those whom all though they believe in the mercury stuff like best, are at least respectful, are willing to listening to differing ideas without calling names and blatent harrassment, and whom are willing to participate in an actual intelligent debate! I have met them, and I wish that all would subscribe to that model. There is no need for all this hostility against one another. There is more than enough hostility in this world as it is!</description>

		<description>I wish to share some of the brilliance that is Groucho Marx. Read and I gaurentee, you will fall over with laughter! :D

From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

I could dance with you until the cows come home. On second thought I&#039;d rather dance with the cows until you come home.

I never forget a face, but in your case I&#039;ll be glad to make an exception.

I&#039;ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn&#039;t it.

Those are my principles, and if you don&#039;t like them... well, I have others.

I don&#039;t have a photograph, but you can have my footprints. They&#039;re upstairs in my socks.

Now there&#039;s a man with an open mind - you can feel the breeze from here!

 Whoever called it necking was a poor judge of anatomy.

Why should I care about posterity? What&#039;s posterity ever done for me?

 Why, I&#039;d horse-whip you if I had a horse.

You know I could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters?

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men, the other 999 follow women”

Q: What do you get when you cross an insomniac, an agnostic, and a dyslexic?
A: Someone who stays up all night wondering if there is a Dog.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.

I wish to be cremated. One tenth of my ashes shall be given to my agent, as written in our contract.

I&#039;m not crazy about reality, but it&#039;s still the only place to get a decent meal.

Well, does anyone like?</description>

		<description>A forum I like to go to, it might not be quite to your liking as most folks there are NT, but a few of us on the spectrum.  What I like about it, though, is we all do strive to learn from each other, it&#039;s a nice mix, not NT vs. ASD, but NT and ASD trying to learn from each other.  
http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=97 (that&#039;s where I spend most of my online time, I post as Aspigander)  

Again, most are NT, so it might not be quite to your tastes.  But it&#039;s kind of pretty much the only resource I&#039;m really familiar with enough to recommend, and I never cease to learn things there.</description>

		<description>Hi!

Here are some good resources:

http://autismadvocatechrisbcat.blogspot.com/

and doesautismaffectyou.blogspot.com

The first is by a 12-year-old who is a big fan of William Stillman, and the second is by two 10-year-olds who are doing an Exhibition project.

neurodiversity.com is a good place to go too!</description>

		<description>Can anyone on here recommend a good resource guide on the net for living with autism?  

Whenever I do searches on Google, all I end up with is a bunch of stuff from &#039;NT&#039; people about how awful autism is. :-/

Everyone on here seems to have some experience either indirectly or directly.  I checked out the resource page on this site; I think I may have clicked on the wrong link.  Any help would be appreciated.  Sorry if I&#039;m posting in the wrong area.

Thanks,

The BPS accepts that &quot;anyone who has eligibility to become a graduate member of the society&quot; is a psychologist.</description>

		<description>And here&#039;s the good bit... I graduated Master of Education... with Distinction.

No wonder JBJr hates me for it enough to try smearing the qualification... I&#039;ve pissed in  his fucking chips!

He shouldn&#039;t have been such a lazy twat.</description>

		<description>In the UK (well, in Scotland and Northern Ireland) and in Finland a master&#039;s will do. Was the same in England and Wales until the BPS tried to become the APA... since when does a PhD or any other research qualification guarantee that a practitioner has the necessary skills to be a practitioner? Many doctoral psychologists are actually really piss-poor practitioners - although they&#039;re really good at research!

Even in the US, one can be a psychologist with a Master&#039;s degree, but usually that requires supervised practice... at least, since they invented the Boulder Model of training.

My post-nomials indicate that I&#039;m a Master of Education  in the psychology of special education) and that I have a Certificate of Professional Studies in Education. I also have the equivalent of a BA in which the major concentration is applicable psychology.

We&#039;re looking into getting me legalised status (practically impossible for foreign psychologists in Finland), but I am still allowed to practise as a consultant educational psychologist. In other words, I get to do what my client needs me to do. It&#039;s good :D

When it pays. But just now, I work in social psychiatry. And that&#039;s good :)</description>

		<description>&quot;Andrews has a special ed degree. That means he’s allowed to say he has a diploma but he’s only qualified to clean the rat cages. It designed to make those with deminished mental capacities feel good.&quot;

Actually... it&#039;s in the psychology of special education. It&#039;s designed to enable me to assist in making the best decisions about how to develop the learning skills of students and the teaching skills of teachers. And other thigns too, including assessment and psycho-educational diagnosis.

JBJr has an imaginary MPA degree...

Means he doesn&#039;t have even a temperature, let alone a degree!</description>
