Drinking alone is not a problem if you have the ability to easily quit addictive things. A lot of this may be dependent on biology. For instance, I pretty much never drink because there is are many, many alcoholics in my family history. I come from a family of filthy drunks. So much so, that my pare...

If everyone, NT or not is different then it's hard to see what is "normal" Then we have people who are brainwashed by social norms and are "fake" to try and fit in the latest trends. Yet we don't know all that goes on behind their clothes doors since they want that hidden. So maybe nobody is normal...

Hugo, it's best to just be yourself :D Be comfortable with who you are, as it is our differences that make us special. I also have OCD, and ADHD along with Bi-polar, and HFA. The list goes on as for past tense when doctors would just toss diagnosis' at me. I'm sure there are some NTs out there that...

I can only see positive things in a diagnosis. Some may say "Prejudices!", but honestly, there are about just as many prejudices with autists as aspies and with "nerds, geeks and freaks", so this one single possible negative element of the diagnosis might be the case without a diagnosis anyway (as ...

Better to just be weird. l'm sort of like you. If you really want to know where you fit in an do want some kind of label l think BAP fits. But who really cares about that? lt applies to a lot of NTs, it's not an actual diagnosis but l do think it describes me too. lt's totally fine to only have som...

When I was a kid I talked more with adults than with kids my age. Now most adults seem childish to me. Can be a sign of giftedness, which may be something to look for if you're "different" and don't seem to fit any label. You may have been wrong to refuse IQ tests. Of course it would help if you we...

On the subject of normalcy being better: I don't know whether or not it's better to be normal, since I've never been normal. I guess it would be good if others treated you more normally. To get the "normal treatment" would be nice sometimes. I hate how there's this assumption people have that I don'...

This is my first post, although I've been an occasional lurker here for years now. I've never been officially 'diagnosed' with anything but OCD and ADHD, which I'm alright with since they're perceived as 'mild' disorders--not that I think of them as diseases or anything. I'm thinking about this in t...
