Mark Williams was born within 24 hours after I was born.

I sometimes wonder what I must look like and it makes me laugh

I may think about three "archetypes" in autism: "technician" ("engineer"/"scientist"), "thinker", "writer". Last two of them are more prone to being misdiagnosed as non-autism.

I never get a craving for hot chocolate
But I just got a craving for hot chocolate
How unorthodox

I don't wanna look out of my window
I don't wanna see what the noise is

IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS!

I can yap about everything and anything.
Even about nothing to a point it can looked as if I'm info dumping.

It's just a compensatory language processing crap.

And an interference from my extroverted mother.

... And I hate it.
Why can't I just be more concise? I hate words.

That is an interesting perspective, Edna3362.

I am verbal but not verbally intelligent. So I open my mouth and words fall out, sometimes a lot of words, and then I have to poke around in the mess and try to figure out retrospectively what the core thought is and if I am actually conveying it.

But I like the things you say. And I like that following along is a process. There are little hooks here and there that we can pick up and think about.

I think that young women tend to be pretty, lovable and very cute. They may look sweet and innocent.

I have never had a girlfriend. I am 34 years old.

I experience a lot of difficult behaviors from my adult sister who is above 24,5 years now. She lives in neighboring room in our family house. She notoriously complains that it is too loud. It is difficult and irritating for me. I suppose that she is 10 - 15 cm shorter than me.

I suppose that descriptions of NVLD from earlier times often described individuals with pervasive developmental disorder/autism spectrum disorder, possibly sometimes without true NVLD which is developmental visual-spatial disorder (DVSD). With NVLD social problems may be absent while in ASD they are always present. In some, even quite many, cases of ASD there can be large split between VIQ and PIQ while VIQ is higher. It is especially possible when a person with ASD has no intellectual disability and has no significant problems with functional language. I suppose that ASD with subtle RRBI symptoms can be sometimes more problematic than ASD with obvious RRBI symptoms (and subtleness of RRBIs poses larger risk of misdiagnosis as not autistic, for example as having social (pragmatic) communication disorder instead of autism spectrum disorder).

I am not certain whether I meet DSM-V ASD criteria. I think that when someone does not meet strict ASD criteria, but has "autistic-like" symptoms and pattern of functioning, then there should be diagnosis like "neurodevelopmental disorder with pervasive and autistic character" when the term "autism spectrum disorder" can not be used. I think that many individuals who do not meet ASD criteria function worse than part of individuals with clinical ASD and they obviously require support and should be named "(atypically) autistic". I do not think that autistic person has to have insistence on sameness or severe sensory processing disorder. Sameness and predictability look often boring (hence unpleasant) to me. I like to get news knowledge about topics which interest me. I do not want to be "chained" to do things at the same time or in the same way, it looks like distressing OCD to me.

I'm not one to jump for joy in January. I wake up once again in February.

I am interested in neurodevelopmental disorders with pervasive character.

I like to experiment with colours in January.

I like the Polish word "aspijka" which means female aspie.

I noticed that many autistic people like cats a lot. Kitties are cute Cats can be sweeties in appearance, sounds and behavior

I don't know whether I'd like to live in a gingerbread house or a Routemaster. I'd live in a gingerbread house in the winter and a Routemaster in the summer. A bus can take my many places in the summer. A house is nice and cozy in the winter.

I might have "obsessions" saying that I not have pervasive developmental disorder/autism spectrum disorder but just learning weakness, minor psychiatric disorders etc.
