    Hi. I’m still trying to figure out how to dialog on yout site(and a few other sites -with little success). I stumbled onto this comment spot after wading into some literature on your art of autism site. I presume I can comment and start subjects and experiences from my own life that others could comment on if that is how this site works- somehow , if I can figure out what to do to join in the dialogs.
