| Someone in the past who was very kind used to call me " a squid." It was meant as an endearing term and a good memory. I think I will be a squid for a while. It's funny how seemingly "little things" can stay with you so vividly - good memories and little smiles are good things to hold onto through b... |

| The reason I asked is because I have read a lot on the internet about AS and it portrays a picture of kind, misunderstood, honest (which my person wasn't by the way) great people and if only us NT's would understand (I have enough knowledge to know that that portrayal was incorrect). And my experie... |

| For such an impaired child, I've had a successful career in NT fields (so far) and a successful school life, all with plenty of human contact but never any real friends. Who could survive in a foreign country, survive the military (I worked so freakin' hard to fit in and do what I was supposed to d... |

| Hello: I just want to say people with ASD are the coolest. No sweeter guys exist than my brother and my son - both ASD. No cooler females, no cooler "any gender/non-gender you identify with" people exist than people on the ASD. This is not against non-ASD people - this is just in recognition that we... |

| Hi, The questions overlap as the symptoms overlap - this is a controversial diagnosis and there is a lot of "mimicry." Health professionals are not too kind to that diagnosis, and while I am sure you are seeking "answers", I advise you proceed with caution. Please be careful of self-diagnosis - I a... |

| Hi, I have a question: I had developed a very close friendship with an AS man and since he opened up, so did I (I know big mistake). I stuck around for a long time (he also had some delusions & paranoia). I understood AS and tried to be kind and open, forgiving for a lot. But he would say cruel... |

| But in practical terms - if you havent been diagnosed with a neurological disorder-then - you're neurotypical. Not much too it really. But as I was trying to explain earlier, if you take 'neurological disorder' in its broadest definition, then this includes anyone with Parkinson's, MS, and epilepsy... |

So anyone not having the same wiring as a person of that majority is not an NT. It's not about rights, it's about majority and ... |
