What is emotional immaturity? I ask that because people like me with autism are affected by this. I differ from the way neuro-typicals understand emotional maturity. Through autism I see and navigate the world differently.

Read on »We have all come to rely on wireless technology in our homes, at work and in our cars. I have often wondered about the possible health implications of the ways we connect through our phones and wi-fi networks.
Bluetooth systems and wireless routers emit electromagnetic radiation in the low gigahertz frequency. This is a level that some studies consider is dangerous to people. And the danger is, unfortunately, a cumulative …
