| No real basis here. Have heard a few Aspies mention that they have an easier time with dyslexics than most NT's. l think the two disorders are related a lot more closely than classifications would lead one to believe (dyslexia itself being much more than reading/language based issue), but clearly cl... |

| it's weird they woudln't talk more about why they chose to label you with the autistic traits. l don't know, it seems like if a doctor is going to do that they would understand the person is going to research Asperger's.

| l think it's basically the cause of the impairment with TOM when it comes to other people. The whole thing seems very misunderstood by NT's. This is one area of AS l do identify with somewhat. l look at it like not having a focus on your "self",you don't feel like your own thoughts come from inside ... |
