| Kind of. IRL, how somebody handles eye contact is the primary ND vs NT detector, and it even works with people that are heavily masking and trying to act like an NT. The simple rule is that if somebody primarily looks at people that talk then they are NTs and if they look back on you even if you ar... |

| It's fascinating stuff. How come no one researched this before? Where do you suspect this radio-organ to be? If you suspect it's ear-, hearing-related (and I wouldn't doubt it, knowing these experiences involve no visual contact), is it completely dissimilar from the visual magnetoreception of bird... |

| Then there is the issue of the "ND relationship traits". Those are not part of everybody diagnosed with autism, and not of everybody classified as neurodiverse either. They are more common in the ND population, but they not exclusive to that population. The ND traits occurs on a spectrum,... |

| What is your Concept of Romantic LOVE? Please DEFINE it. It's a deep, strong, pure, almost child-like, verbally inexpressible connection with a strong sense of eternal belonging present, in other words, it's as if we knew each other from previous lives. Agreed. You worded it better than me. :-) Tha... |

| I even think that much of the conflicts in neurodiverse relationships can be traced back to trying to control each other. Many NDs are very hostile to being controlled. I remember a study that seemingly goes the opposite direction of what you're saying: that there's a strong correlation between sub... |

| So people can only be depressed if they don't have friends or a romantic interest? And they can't possibly be happy if they don't, even if they're asexual and asocial. Cringe. :roll: Reality is the cause of of depression. Hearing people moan about not having a love interest gives me depression and ... |

| The entire post above is just spot on. What do you think are the evolutionary/environmental causes for the two different thinking patterns? I described this in an article I put up on research-gate last year: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344362453_Hunting_adaptations_in_autism_and_neurod... |

| Are you implying that an autistic person due to his or her autistic traits tends to depend on an NT who is more capable of navigating this difficult world...And if so, could the ASD cut ties with his or her NT as the ASD becomes more independent???... Yes, that's exactly the situation I tried to de... |

| I think the OP addresses a very real, crucial point I can truly identify with, but the post above feels very general. When I take care most of those problems like deficiencies listed (except maybe brain malformations), I'm still left with what the OP describes. So yeah, maybe it's brain malformation... |
