| hey Jayo. no scientific proof for the mirror neuron theory when I last looked. however the idea that all brains have functionality like mirror neurons, that Aspies turned away from using (tried to do life by logic instead) makes sense to me. I have tried to restart and use my mirror neuron functiona... |

| I don't understand. Reach back to what? You cannot "reach back" to something which has not existed in the first place. I have always been living with Asperger's. I have never developed this "NT functioning" you are writing about, so there was nothing to discard. It is not like I... |

| That sounds ambitious. Though I don't say it's completely futile. Many years ago I got very interested for the first time in feelings, which I'd hitherto been dismissing as a waste of good mental energy. I found the result useful.

| I'll probably get flamed here {yes yes I know its totally wonderful and brilliant to be an Aspie} - but I feel the black or white, "I am Aspie" or "I am NT", may be a wrong (too simple) mindset. Maybe many of us can choose to try to reach back to activate some NT functioning, tha... |
