You just demonstrated my point, and this is what ticks a lot of people whom have autism off to no end, myself included. We are not disadvantaged, we're just different, yet we get shunned as having a disease or not being as intelligent. And I don't b...  [Read More]

And to say that Fox News does not report factual events with a huge conservative slant, far more severely than any liberal outlet ever has, is really just never going to see an end of fruition. While I agree that Fox is a very biased outlet, would y...  [Read More]
