The Do Not Ask List

I receive a number of emails each week with questions regarding autism, among other things.  I don't mind this one bit. In fact, just today I was chatting with a lovely lady from the UK who had some concerns regarding her child but understood I could really only share my own experiences with her and asked her questions accordingly. These are the kinds of emails I love to receive. To be fair, I might not get to them all, and some are filtered away from me completely, but for the most part I love hearing from you and I am happy to answer your questions...well, most of your questions. The nature of some of these emails has inspired me to create the following list. Please, take note. Here are the questions I cannot help you with:

Do you think I have autism?
Do you think my neighbour has autism?
Do you think my husband has autism?
Do you think my kid has autism?
Do you think my cat has autism?
Do you think my car has autism?

and

Can I get a small loan?
