| Has anyone NT said anything like that to you? Yes, they have. Usually they say something like: 'Kinda odd guy, but it's a nice fellow'. And that's ok in my opinion. Of course you may find others a bit weird, as long as you accept them. And I say the same things about fellow-NT's. NT's are weird too... |

| I am 20 and I am barely 5'11 or a hair under. I would love to know if there are any natural methods to grow taller? But I fear that improper heavy weightlifting which I started at age 18 has caused my growth plates to fuse prematurley? I have not really grown 1 full inch since the age of 16 to be h... |

| Hi everyone, I've been following the discussions at WrongPlanet for a while now. Partly because one of my friends is diagnosed with PDD-NOS and partly because I've always been interested in how the mind works. At the moment I'm studying Interactive Media at the University of Amsterdam. With my gradu... |

| I see that some Aspies think most NT's think badly of you. That's not true. Of course there are some nitwits who know nothing about psychology of some sort.. but most NT's I know maybe raise an eyebrow every now and then, but they absolutely NOT think that Aspies are failures. Me, being an NT myself... |

| No one needs to change.. People only need to learn to accept. Ok, I know.. that's really cliché. But it's still the truth. Some information about ASD should be taught in primary school and later on repeated with more detail in highschool. There is no way everyone of the current generation NT's will ... |

| My mom also told me to always be myself. But sadly enough the 'yourself' thing is partly a lie. People always adjust to other people to fit in. Even when you try not to, you still use different words when around different people. Example: When I talk to my grandma, I would never behave like a goof, ... |

| People in the street mostly smile because they want to be accepted. A smile says it's ok to be there. I think it's a primitive way of letting each other know that you accept the presence of the other person. It gives some kind of humanity to the street view. Everyone thinks something different and y... |
