Myth: The term Neurotypical makes sense. Does it mean: Non-Autistc?, Non-Asperger's? Anybody who doesn't have ASD? Is there truly a discrete line separating the 3 categories based on reality? Are the DSM accurate (represent reality)?

Probable: No clear demarcation as what constitutes Neurotypicals or ASDs, just guidelines based on a bunch of fallible human doctors/scientists getting together and agreeing on some useful and general guidelines often motivated by political, corporate and individua/social biases.

I thought that was AS. After all, Aspies do have an "empty" stare.

Nt's enjoy being surrounded by people all the time, or hate to be alone.

Even NT's believe this. Many NT's are introverted, as myself, and extroverted NT's get annoyed. or think we're weird, when we don't want to hang out all the time, or go to parties in our free time. I'm feeling this right now...I'm on campus all day during the week, working and going to class. There are times when I need a break to get my energy back! I enjoy being with people, but it's exhausting socializing all the time...

NTs do have souls. So do Aspies. I have a soul, otherwise I would be like a robot, which I'm not. Well, I would be a robot.
