A member asked:
I need to know whether i suffer from autism or not. how can i tell?

Why do you ask?: Please forgive my frankness. Nowadays most folks think of autism as a continuum with just being shy or scholarly. The criteria are ever-changing (now it's "one person in 50") and the frequency of the diagnosis varies greatly in different jurisdictions depending (some say) on the benefits. Why not enjoy who you are, practice your social skills, and cherish the special things you like doing?
