Yes, but it's not art.

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?)

[The_P]

Yes, but it's not art.

But it's a talent.

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.

[odeon]

Yes, but it's not art.

But it's a talent.

Looking like a bad joke and still getting to be dictator is a talent, too.

If his views weren't so fucked up, he would have become an influential world leader -- benevolent and all that crap.

Baaaa.

I always pick on the new folks to alleviate my boredom, so don't worry. As long as you don't exude a haughty attitude, we'll get along just fine. 

Though, 'tis more fun if you do.

[Calandale]

Do You think You can hold Your own here Catrona?

im not worried.

i know how hazing goes

i cant promise my grammar spelling wont get any worse whilst throwing back and forth posts......

but welcome the critiquing in any form.

It can get WORSE?

[Calandale]

I wonder if there would be a market for autistic pets.

[Calandale]

I'm a cross-over from WP.... anything i do noobishly..... blame it on calandale!

That rather implies that things happen that we DON'T blame on Calandale...

As it should be.
But, I'm trying to lessen
the amount of things which
I should be blamed for.

Just talk like a commoner, for fuck's sake.

dear gods, no.  *shudder*

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.

We have an autistic rabbit.

[Calandale]

We have an autistic rabbit.

With a pancake on it's head.

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?)

im not DXed but i doubt im NT.

ive talked to a specialist but had no tests.

all the neuro PIs (primary investigators aka-researchers) ive mentioned this too say that "it wouldnt surprise them"

that's about all the evidence i can afford  lol
