| The 'speciation' of autism i think is much older than any culture. my theory is that autism produced the shaman. Shaman are the spiritual leaders of a tribe, but they also are the ones that maintain medical knowledge. They know which plants have what effects, and how to find them, and etcetera. Sha... |

| I have a lot of random/abstract dreams. I occasionally have lucid dreams. There are also places that I recurrently visit, like a dream universe. |

Designing and programming computer games, although I may be biased as that's my FT occupation.
Possibly target sports. |

| Other than regarding our children, my ex- and I had no say in each other's behaviour once we separated. Both of us dated other people during the mandatory 12 month trial separation. She has more luck than I do romantically which makes me a bit jealous, but that's my problem. |

| It seems plausible that a diagnosis makes the traits seem more acceptable (you have a valid excuse/reason), so you stop trying to hide them as much. This might actually be a good thing of course, it can't be too healthy to constantly try and monitor your own behaviour (as I did to some extent befor... |

| Greets dude. You are adult right? How do you think your life would have been different if you had been diagnosed as a child? I ask because I was DXed as an adult too and I wonder the same thing. |

I often feel what others are feeling, in that my empathy is too much, so I avoid closeness and 'connecting' with others I can feel what others are feeling too, this is stepping into metaphysics territory.
