Exactly. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that. Many autistics, both young and old, simply adore water and find it fascinating. So, as children, they naturally want to explore it when they can.

I don't think you need to earn as much as $75,000 to $100,000 to live a decent life. At least not where I live. I have a good job with a pretty decent salary (about half of the above), but I don't need that much and actually only work 75% know, and still have more money than I need for my hobbies &a...

After several failures with publications and potential University affiliations this year, I think it is time to research the very important issue of how autistics can live good lives, and then try to publish it. So, post what you believe would make you happy and live a fullfilling life. I might use...

For me I have a good friendship with my daughter. I am happy to also spend time with my thoughts and interests. I find it very rewarding to spend time in nature. I need to find a way to reduce getting stressed by work.


I think these are quite common and relevant.

best settle for less..that way anything that appears better can make you feel better....? I find the term "less" a bit imprecise. In dating jargon, this typically means somebody that doesn't meet your requirement list or that is not an optimal person for your (NT) social life. Since datin...

It's something very fundamental that few people seem to realise. The social difference in collaborative efforts versus a preference to do things alone is more of a consequence of this difference. The primary difference instead is in the relationship area, something few people appear to understand an...

Seems to be rather typical ND stuff. You just fail to understand how ND stuff evolve. NDs prefer to have sex mind to mind, not physical sex. This is also optimal for somebody that is hypersexual. Dating will typical kill the spark, so insisting on that won't go well, which he seems to understand too.

Changed the boarder line between typical social and relationships again, and now the groups are better balanced. Hopefully, this is the final change. Still, it's an advantage that the new software tools I have written makes it a lot easier to create a new version. The grouping tool also seems to wor...

I think I should test these variants: Do you dislike pop culture? Do you like 'being in style'? Do you jump onto the latest trends? Do you wear things that are comfortable regardless if they are in style or not? None of these have the same relevance as the original items. Disliking pop culture stil...

This is what you said: One diagnosed person out of 14 that scores as highly neurotypical is not an anomaly. Another person also scores as more neurotypical than atypical, but this is not a problem either. That's 14% not getting their diagnosis confirmed, which is normal. ^ In the first sentence you...

So you have to cover up your failure by calling me a liar. Thanks a lot! I gave you a couple of alternatives, but I suppose you go with "being dishonest". Maybe because you were? :-) One more thing. Your math is off. "One diagnosed person in 14" is not the same thing as "fo...

But when I was trying to build a network marketing business, the meetings weren't taking me away from any work. So when they began with small talk, I hated this, because it delayed the end of the meeting and thus, delayed when I'd get back home. I always wanted to just JUMP SMACK into business talk...

1) Do you spend hours overthinking and re-enacting negative social interaction? 2) Do you tend to play the same tune many times in a row? 3) Do you fail to understand pop culture, things like 'being in style' or why people jump onto the latest trend? 4) Do you like to have small talk before getting...

I think people should be classified on this subject in three categories: 1. Neurodivergent, which should include not only ASD but ADHD and any other mental health condition people have from birth. People born this way. 2. Neurotypical and mentally unwell. (Neurodisturbed?) People who are not ND but...
