| Secretly a shameless bump (maybe I shouldn't tell that, damn my honesty), but I am also curious about your opinion on projects like this. After the amount of attention the original animation received in the media and the awards it won, why doesn't it have more backers yet? What I can think of are th... |

| I believe that the reason asd/ aspergers has found no cure is because it has historically been treated. It is treated as a social disease. While it may be a social disease it needs to be looked at like cancer in that it will always be in your body, but with the right treatment it won't affect you c... |

| ASD has no cure because it is no illness... Autism Spectrum Disorder is a difference in development of the brain, not a defect but a variation. Disorder is in my opinion even the wrong term used, personally I prefer ASC (Condition). This still means that it can be very difficult for someone to be on... |

| There is absolutely no need for a female-centered movie about Aspergers. Not because there aren't any aspie females out there; there clearly are. But life as a male with ASD is exponentially more crippling than life as a female with ASD. The politically correct media has taken all the traditional m... |

| Thankfully, it is prohibited in the Netherlands as well. I don't drink, smoke, gamble or do drugs but I also do not have a social life and thus can't really give advise except for what logic tells me; don't do stupid stuff because you feel others won't except you otherwise. It is not worth it! |
