Hello people, what are everybodies favourite or worst films related to autism? and why?

and what are peoples general thoughts of how autism has been or is portrayed in the media? is there a certain preference the media have?

I'm interested in peoples thoughts on the medias impact on how the general population view autism. As the media plays a massive role in collective mindsets I wonder if and how any of these 'favourite or worst' movies have impacted that.

and what about the news? aghhh I could go on all day.

Hi everyone,

I find the human tendency to label and categorize things interesting---the labeling and categorization of other people specifically. Sometimes it's practical---we do it naturally, subconsciously or consciously, all the time; it helps us to make sense of and create order and comfort in our lives. But it can also be lazy and unnecessary, and detrimental to others.

Hello all,

I know I'm not updating as regularly as I used too, but work and study makes it difficult to get in the mood. 

T889 "Problem Solving" has been a new kind of challenge for me, but worthwhile, I have learnt many ways to spot issues in situations. Also turn SpaceX's explosion last year into sucess for me. 

But it has been a great opportunity to apply & expand my knowledge on launching rockets.

My TMA scores are 54%, 70% and 71%, giving me 65.5% OCAS. Very good for a master's level. 

I have a diagnosis of autism, but have not been assessed for dyscalculia, although I know I have it because I've always struggled with numbers and have no maths qualifications as a result (it's beyond just having a weakness in this area - I have a severe deficit that was picked up on in primary school, and was assessed, but no official diagnosis was given - dyscalculia was not  formally named until very recently). I was wanting to have a proper assessment done so that I could have a formal diagnosis of dyscalculia because it might offer some protection and recognition of this difficulty.
