| One of my favorite people on WP (who is an autism researcher) used to say that Autism is defined from the outside by behavior, not by introspection from a first-person perspective. I think Fnord's statement (about "those who self-diagnose and then seek confirmation from an appropriately-trained... |

| I think that autism is defined by both behavior and inner thoughts. It's possible that I don't understand above. But, most definitely, my inner thoughts have changed dramatically since I was diagnosed. As the diagnosis (along with the subsequent process of doubting the diagnosis and then eventually... |

| You can suspect yourself, but not diagnose yourself. I agree. One of my favorite people on WP (who was an autism researcher) used to say that Autism is defined from the outside by behavior, not by introspection from a first-person perspective. When I first learned about Asperger's (~ 5 years ago), ... |

| ...do you doubt your diagnosis?... I doubted my diagnosis (which occurred at age 50). I wanted a second (and third) opinion. At the time, this (being diagnosed) was sort of an obsession of mine. These days (almost five years later), I don't think about it any more (I suppose I have redirected my in... |

| So, basically my question is: Regardless of the result you have gotten from taking MBTI tests, do you resonate more with the description of an INTJ than an ISTJ? And anything you'd like to elaborate on in this regard would be great. Thanks! This is an interesting question (for me). I first took the... |

| I like it, particularly when I previously participated in the thread. I then get an email notification. Then, I can (if I decide to) re-read the thread (including my posts), to see if my thoughts have changed (and perhaps have something new to add to the discussion). It also reminds me of all the ot... |

| Something I actually tried once. First, when talking to someone, I looked at her mouth and asked if she thought I was making eye contact. The answer was yes. Then, uncomfortable though it was, I actually looked straight into her eyes, and the reaction was instant. She immediately told me that this ... |
