Wait a minute, did the OP just define Aspies and NT's, call them different things, and then have people
reject the definitions for being arbitrary? :oops:

Not really. My dad has quite a few Aspie traits, but he is more of a worker than my mom. My mom doesn't have very many aspie traits. All of her "aspie traits" are explained by ADHD. This list is more of a contiuum rather than two distinct groups. My parents are both thinkers, but my dad is more of a worker.
