Do people with high functioning autism (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome) process stress psychologly different than neurotypicals? Could it be, because of the detailoriented information processing and the hypersensitivities that autistic people experience stress more severe (more intense and impressive) than their neurotypical counterparts? And if so would "need" less stress experiences to develop psychological trauma compared to neurotypicals?

Please cite your answer with research.

Given the atrocious laws Abbott has signed restricting voter access, women's rights, and his xenophobic policies towards immigrants - all in the context of a GOP biased Supreme Court - would you be willing to endorse Beto for the good of democracy and personal rights?

A moral victory with more resulting republican fascism in Texas is not a good outcome. Perhaps your endorsement would lend influence for Beto to back off from his bad gun policies.

Do you have any proof at all that psychiatry is based on a coherent and provable set of facts?

In my lifetime I have seen "breakthroughs" come and go and I have seem the study replication crisis stay and widen.

Is it based on truth and does it actually improve the lives of people?

I actually haven’t tried making my own baked goods after realizing I’m gluten intolerant. I went from someone who ate a whole baguette throughout the day to not eating bread at all. I’m scared of risking it though. Not sure the pain is worth it anymore, I barely miss the actual bread. I just miss Chinese food.

I did a video answering this very question! https://youtu.be/oWdRNGk9xAA

But the gist of it is, someone has to represent the pro-liberty message. Many people have joined the two authoritarian parties and tried to make them less authoritarian, and they are free to try that, but it never seems to work. So, I'd rather fight for what I believe in and give the voters a choice of another party. I got the most votes of any LP Governor candidate in Texas history in 2018, and we are on pace to do better this time. If I get over 2%, then the Libertarian Party has the option of becoming a Primary party in Texas, which would increase interest and publicity for the party quite a bit. Hopefully, I can pass the torch to the future Libertarians who will keep that fire burning.
