What does a "randian perspective" mean to you and why would the Clavell's admiration of Rand warrant the comment to "never meet your heroes"?

What matters here is not the general inter-rater reliability for all autism diagnoses, but only those for the patients which would have otherwise been described as having Asperger's, which can often present as a very mild disorder. Giv

Do you really need a citation that a non-verbal, uncommunicative and non-independent "non-functional" traditional autism case is different from what would often be referred to as "Asperger's", which is common amongs

This isn't really providing any clarity to the question, since you're simply restating your previous claim. How is a diagnosis of autism any more reliable?

My brother (mid-20s) still writes in cursive. He does so beautifully, completely legibly, and rapidly, at a faster rate than he, or the average person, can write non-cursive.

Heroin is derived from poppies. It is simply the product of acetylating the morphine isolated from the poppy plant. Also, the person you replied to was right, the DEA is referring to heroin and cocaine, not cannabis. This is spelled out

I'd argue that having the descriptor of "asperger's" is much more useful than simply having a blanket descriptor of "autism". Low functioning people who are described as having autism, have very little in commo

They aren't defending smoking. They're referring to the industry and its ethos when it originally grew. While smoking was established as being bad for health in the mid-20th century, this wasn't as clear in the late 19th and
