NT or not?

Post Reply New Topic

I was looking at how there seems to be a bit of a discrimination by those with AS on NT, but sometimes I think everyone has that little mindquirk. There's a bunch of disorders off the top of my head, and I want anyone posting to determine whether someone with it would be an NT or not.

Asperger's Syndrome
Autism
Anxiety Disorders and phobias
Eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia for example as well as the disorder of constant craving)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (it's said to happen after a very stressful event so it can be assumed one is not born with it)
ADD and ADHD (Attention Deficit)
ODD (oppositional defiance disorder)
Down Syndrome
Alzheimer's
Tourette's Syndrome

here's just a few I thought of but there's many that others can contribute as well

There's three definitions so it depends which one you use.

Care to tell me the definitions then?

It really depends on if any of the conditions are comorbid to Aspergers or Autism.
If someone's got ODD and HFA, then they're not NT, but ODD by itself is not part of the spectrum.

By the way, you forgot hyperlexia. It's not part of the spectrum, but is so much like Aspergers, that they are not considered NT.
