Often discussed is the film Rain Man. Some will say it is the best ever, others say it is dated, a stereotype that puts unrealistic pressure on people with autism to be highly intelligent in maths (for instance).

What do you think?

If I have the chance I will check out what you mentioned above. I feel like representation of autism in media has gotten better and more prevalent, however it's still too scarce and still has many problems. Like remember the controversy around the movie Music, that Sia made?

Thanks for the interesting article Jura Tempest Federation. Casting is controversial.

Queer Nati0n: I wish my former work friend Tom (Asperger’s) would join NationStates and this region. I’ve asked him often enough. Hey ho. I told him how you feel about The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. He said a work of imagination was valid as long as the reader believed it, which in this case he (Tom) did.

Good to hear from you.

The Bottomless Pit is an unusual region. The “A Crazy Person” series of 100 nations is something I’ve never seen.

Yep it is, no clue who the raiders are though.

The Hurricane of The Great Storm.

I don’t understand the point of raiding. It’s destructive, nothing else, and the targets are easy.

some sort of revenge for refounding his friend’s region but what’s strange is that most of the nations are serial puppets so you’d think someone would have objected to this raid

I mean some people raid to keep the website safe. I see no problem with raiding a nazi or fascist region for example.

I know, I meant it more as I don't know what you guys do or stand for. You guys are as well known as The Black Hawks.

That’s not what really happens though. It’s about spotting a founder-less (governor-less) region and pouncing for the fun of it.

the invader has been seen off? I’ve given up trying to understand it

The Bottomless Pit has gone back to being someone’s private puppet reserve.

This from The Bottomless Pit. I should forget about that region now, but it’s fascinating. Weird.

shows that size isn’t always what it seems to be, it can be an illusion

Switzerland won Eurovision. They were my favourite.
