My mother has severe psoriasis (late-40s onset) and my father’s side grandmother had late-age (60+) severe rhumatoid arthritis. I hope there is no correlation with genetic history of autoimmune disorders and autoimmune brain inflammation in autism.

My head was abnormally large when I was a kid too. It is large today by adult standards. It is at least 24″ but less than 28″ because a 24″ gold chain doesn’t fit around it but a 30″ fits around with a decent amount of slack. My mother has a large head too. My neck is 18″.

I don’t think there will be any safety issues. The lack of violence, noise, stink, cops, crime, or unsightly things will have not eliminate all of the negative effect on property values. Some of the reduction of property value is community predujice. There are some communities, such as Aquia Harbor in Virginia, where black people moving into the house next to you will cut your property value by at least 20 grand, because of community-level bigotry. A low-security group-home will definitly be worse than simply black people in such communities, and Aquia Harbor isn’t really all that bad really. There are some HOA neighborhoods here in AZ that are REALLY BAD.
