Lists are fun and can be shared with the whole family

This list of traits characteristic of Asperger's Syndrome was taken from this post and sorted into those I think apply to me, those I think do not, and those which I really do not know if yes or no, with personal notes added in brackets. The list appears to have been compiled from these three sites, although I do not know how this was done.

Ageism in advertising

Venting annoyance. There is an ad for an internet company in which the spokesman touts its ability to keep his grandmother occupied and distracted, managed out of the way. Before that ad, I was favourably inclined toward the company.

There is an insurance ad I have been hearing on the radio recently. In it a woman explains that being over 55 she is a far better choice to insure than a 25-year-old because when she throws a party she typically calls a few of her closest friends, rather than texting a few hundred people.

I am fuming all over again.
