| Answers to Ohkabaka, League girl, and Starkid: Starkid asked (SK): As for your socializing, it may be warm and caring, but does it come naturally? Zylon replied (Z): Yes, totally natural. But first the person must trust me enough to allow it directly. And since no stranger can, and everyone is a str... |

| My condition is severe , but it is not found in the DSM or ICD, unless ASD can include me. Some things about me: 1. My core defect is with interface with the environment. Social problems are secondary to that. I can be a very good, warm, caring, affectionate friend, as long as that person does not d... |

| This thread is for people on this forum who have severe problems due to being very different from NTs, but the difference is not well described by the description given for the autistic spectrum, nor anything else in the DSM. While planet NT (Earth) may be the wrong planet for us, it seems that plan... |

| Relative to the autistic spectrum, Birdcloak (above) seems completely in the high functioning half. "High functioning autism" is not the same as high functioning, it is just higher than autistics who cannot talk, may just rock in the corner all day, fail IQ tests, etc; low functioning auti... |

| Is the Autistic spectrum one dimensional, so that a person can place himself on it? Height is one dimensional, and I can place myself on it well: 5'7. However, I cannot be placed on an IQ spectrum; among people even at IQ 130, I would go right over their head in a scientific or philosophical discuss... |

| Dianthus, I would rather just take in experiences and not interact with the world at all, except with my immediate family members (including people who are not in my family now, but who I wish were). If you are similar to me, and we both have "brain in a jar syndrome", then please communic... |

Green0star: You never heard of "Brain in a Jar Syndrome" because I made up the term.
Kraftiekortie: "The Bell Jar" does not apply to me because my condition is inborn, consistent, and is the real me. In that way, my condition is like Autism. |

| Even if my ASD may be less severe than yours, my condition may be much more severe than yours. Other than ASD, there is no condition in the DSM or ICD which addresses my condition. I have made up my own names for my condition: “Alien Syndrome” and “Brain in a Jar syndrome”. I have associated the fir... |

| Fnord, I wonder this about you: If you were in a society where "official gender" did not exist. People looked different ways, masculine, feminine, etc. People can describe themself, but it is always just traits, never that someone IS male or female. Everything is unisex; one lavatory, no &... |

| Picture someone (person A) who looks like a masculine man who has "I am a woman" written on his/her shirt, and someone (person B) who physically looks like a feminine woman who has "I am a man" on her/his shirt. Picture these people in lavatories, associating with children they d... |

| I do not have sex in the usual (i.e."X-rated") sense, for my psychological makeup has been full and unchanging since I was 6 years old. However, at 6 years old as now, I am "attracted" to females only (infatuation, deep love, special joy, deep caring). My psychological gender ide... |

| I guess if you're neither, you can just pick randomly? My physical appearance and anatomy is definitely male, so I would feel uncomfortable saying that I am female. I would rather not have to deal with that, and avoid the prejudice either gender would create. I'm glad that I don't have to give my a... |

| Noca, I noticed at the bottom of your post, you have an equivalence between "neurodiverse" and "Aspie": Your neurodiverse score: 150 of 200 Your neurotypical score: 51 of 200 You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie) Does that refer to some test showing neurodiversity, or just a t... |
