Most women do not suffer from these problems, whereas all low-functioning autists suffer from problems of communication.<br /><br />Furthermore, depression and self-harming behaviour are accidental to the category 'woman', whereas an inability to communicate properly is essential to the category 'autistic', as it is in the definition itself.Buttershttp://faithfullyagnostic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530548799681444324.post-3286384515101971242009-03-13T14:18:00.000-05:002009-03-13T14:18:00.000-05:00Miss Gonzo said:"Btw, Joseph made this analogy onc...Miss Gonzo said:<BR/><BR/>"Btw, Joseph made this analogy once, but as a "what if" scenario.<BR/>It's here."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that link.
