Hey, n00b, I don't recall you answering that question: are you NT or not? (And if not, when and by whom were you dx'd?)

Oh, and to follow up that question: Why the fuck do you talk to us as if we're one of your lab buddies? Just talk like a commoner, for fuck's sake.

what do you mean?

someone asked about my research... i told them.  that's about all i said about my lab buddies.  that and just now when someone asked about my dx

and i talk how i talk.................. lol

cope

Welcome to Intensity².

What kind of research in autism?

going to start by growing up a mutant clone of mice that have a particular mutation that causes variation in post synaptic hippocampal plasticity which is also observable by it's behavioral phenotypes (which are similar to autistic pehontypes [aka-displays, expressions] in humans and other model organisms)

basically... im gonna be testing the cognitive abilities of autisitc mice... and then slicing their brains open to see what's going on there.... it's the molecular gap between phsyiology and behavior.

the hippocampus is involved in a lot of apsects that are linked to autism and NVLDs.... particularly spatial learning and episodic memory

the particular mutation i will be looking at will hopefully help to define the deveopmental timeline for identifying the best "intervention" time-window for treating kids on the spectrum.  that is my hope, at anyrate.

Ugh, this gives me the shivers.
I am thankful I am not an autistic mouse.

it's not my favorite aspect... but they go humanely as possible.  happy gas and then pithing

good enough for e.e. cummings, good enough for me.

  Never much cared for cummings.

don't worry about it - i understand the feeling is entirely mutual.

Been in the spirit realm recently?

Any particular reason or is it just that us poor disabled folks simply are so cool?

Having met her, I can't see how she could be.

[odeon]

You've met her?
