| Bacground info, FYI, to any & all: My venture into WP & AS-ASD-ND-NT-XYZ--- things has been rough. It's now a mix of good and bad within a "smear" of turbulence. The best "goods" were a "Welcome to WP," with encouragement, from "Auntblabby" and a descr... |

I think I shall now continue growing up without a diagnosis.
I know it as "Spectrum Riding." It has long worked well for me. It is not pushing rope uphill. |

| I am not diagnosed, but ASD seems to fit. I can't imagine the hypothetical maybe tested perhapses you all speak of. I very much appreciate reading of your past dealings with this thing that I have not yet. It scares me lots and I hope I don't get changed. Thanks to all! |

| My 10 year old age, seems a comfortable fact. It's "howcomes" seem to be those oldest child roles (babysitter, caretaker & protector) and was/is all fun. The worlds of kids (of all ages) is too true, pure and playfully spontaneous to miss any bit of it. Adulthood is quite "Adulter... |

| I struggle endlessly to find the (T or F) of things, including me! Thanks to my Mom, for the earliest stuff, I have nigh on to 75 years of "my art" works! Going thru it seeking some (T or F) things of me, I find not much of either or neither. What I found was ALL allegorical and ALL TRUE! ... |

| I'm not sure about the words "age dysphoria." But, at age ten, I was enfolded in a three-fold wrapper that kept me "sane & whole." It felt like corn husks usually, rough enough to feel it always there. That was about 70 years ago. In the ASD words of today (both "pop-psy... |

| It's a "loaded" stereotype and wrong! For Joe90, perhaps an OK-ish viewpoint. There are two views of a bunch of parts, and their interaction, relative to some function desired. "Details" folk focus on the parts and their interactions to do a function. "Bigpic" folks foc... |

I'm more lost & disconnected or just not connected, but the symptoms are the same I think. It's not lonely where I am, but it's very solo-alone. I think it's my going too deep a... |
