Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 I understand that it is a characteristic of fragile X syndrome, along with large ears and such. I don't believe that it has anything to do with autism per se. Fragile X'ers exhibit autistic nature, and are also retarded in general. I don't know what my reaction would be to that question in person. Part of me is kinda glad people want to learn more about autism, and part of me cringes with the lack of knowledge there really is out there even still. When my daughter was little, 98% of the people I encountered didn't know anything about it at all. Things are different, but we still have a long way to go.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2001 Report Share Posted November 28, 2001 hi, I know what you mean. Most of the people I meet think autism means Rain Man or someone sitting in a corner banging there heads against a wall. Others thinks autism is a 'learnerd' behavior and are afraid there children will 'catch it' from my . Honestly, sometimes I feel like smacking someone.

But, I have to admit, it is the only autistic penis I have seen so far. n > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
