On the light side...
...these are 'tongue in cheek' but made me smile...
Top Ten Things About Being Autistic
10. No need to keep your lies straight.
9. None of that pesky peer pressure.
8. No irritating fluctuations in pitch when you speak.
7. No need to wait for bad news to get stressed out. Why procrastinate?
6. Greatly reduced odds of bad dates when you can't get members of the opposite sex to acknowledge your presence.
5. Ability to hear bad news and not realize you are supposed to be sad. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
4. Fewer friends means less Christmas shopping.
3. Harder for other players to read your face when you are playing poker.
2. If you are ever in a swarm of flies, the swatting-at-the-air motion will be second nature.
1. You never notice the dirty looks other people are giving you; that would mean looking them in the eye.

Haha, nice one! I especially like number 3, because it's so true. No-one can tell because I just sit there and giggle no matter what hand I have.

Re: On the light side...
Thanks for that. I'm not in trouble for not being a mum, am I? :P I never pay enough attention to what is going on around me before I join somewhere...

not at all ~ no one gets in trouble here we fly by the seat of our pants. We have men, woman, parents and folks who haven't had children as well as folks who have fur kids ~ anything goes here and we're glad to have someone new to chat with. Red carpet is out for anyone, honestly. I liken this to a local tavern where you go to have a bit of fun and act silly, but when you have something serious to talk about you have some good ears that will listen and help when they can.

Re: …
Good to know. Thanks again!
Probably not the place for an introduction, though, is it? lol.
