Pharmaceuticals generally have all kinds of side effects.
It could be one of your medications.
Or something reacting with them.
I never trust pharmaceuticals. |

Generalizations like that are arbitrary and meaningless.
Why do people keep asking things like this?
I don't want to be mean, but Really?
A statement like "autistics can't play sports". Is harmful and prevents people from even trying, so what if they are awkward. |

| That just described my whole summer. It's been record-breaking heat in the Pacific NW. I slowly imploded. Then completely collapsed all the way through the black hole to the other side. It's as if decades of holding all the sensory stuff back failed. I think of it like a buffer over-run failure. I'm... |

| I don't feel like they are narrow. Interests are pretty much infinite. Mine just are not common. Many find what I have to say somewhat boring, I glaze eyes over all the time. Then I get frustrated and mad at them for not understanding me. I don't really get the regular conversation flow well. Most o... |

| Bernie won't be the nominee and won't be considered as running mate but I think Elizabeth Warren is likely the VP pick of whoever wins the nomination which will be either Hillary or Biden. Biden is a lot more likable personality wise and keeps his nose clean, he's a more electable general election ... |

| So what's the chance of him actually becoming the president? As a Norwegian, I have absolutely no idea why anyone would ever want to vote for him. But he seems awfully popular. And I don't see any democrat with the same popularity. As a Norwegan, YOU have a better shot at becoming president. In Ame... |

| My brain goes kinda "non linear" sometimes and I have trouble ordering sentences. Both reading them and writing them. Large blocks of text confuse me, my visual cortex wants to scan it like an image for patterns. It's very hard for me to lock on to the row by row pattern for reading. My ey... |

All the "disorders" are just arbitrary collections of overlapping symptoms.
The writers of the DSM are grasping at straws. |

That doesn't sound normal for anyone, that sounds like a hormone imbalance on the part of the NT.
I did catch on to one NT "social rule" though..... just leave new mothers alone, you are poking a bear, a mother bear. |
