| I just watched the second episode. She flirted using eye contact in the bar perfectly and very naturally. If the main actress is going to be portrayed as that odd and missing big things, I think she should have more trouble with the little things. Doubt this would matter to most NTs and they will g... |

| Regardless whether the actress is neurotypical, that the series pairs autism and the ability to analyze and understand a great deal about people, including things someone more typical might miss, is really pretty exciting. Has the potential to open people's minds to something other than a stereotyp... |

| Not to co-opt the thread, but have you seen King and Maxwell? If so, do you have an opinion of Edgar? |

| Quick note to Whirling Mind, I have three children (all adults now) who are all on the spectrum. I did none of those things during any pregnancy because I am very anti-medication. The only exception to that is I did use fluoridated toothpastes when my children began to brush with toothpaste at about... |

| Someone has a melt down because her impossible dream of a "perfect" child didn't happen. If her son didn't have Autism it would have been something else and she would have still gone on her guilt trip. |

| I tend to agree with that theory. Young girls are told that abusive behavior means they are loved, so they do not get clear signals. Then look at a lot of the fairy tails that are presented, Beauty and the Beast comes to mind, where the abusive behavior is supposed to hide a golden heart - not in th... |

Quite honestly, your list of diagnoses sounds a lot like my daughter. I think there is a lot of overlap between the disorders you mentioned.
I really agree with Toy Soldier, you need to do all you can to get a new doctor. |

| b9, I was serious in my appreciation for your post. It actually makes me happy to read about someone being successful in their life when so often all that is written is pain and tragedy. I had some pretty high hurdles to overcome, but I am very happy to be where I am now because I had some friends l... |

| b9, thank you for your wonderful reply. I don't know what I would do with myself if I wasn't working. While I always loved computer programming, I was never able to get into the field, so I have been a cashier most of my life, ie low wages. Went though a divorce 11 years ago and lost everything. Las... |

| cyberdad, You bring up an interesting point. I am now wondering how the list would be different coming from people in collective societies. I guess one of the things that struck me when I read it was number 4 - staying in touch with friends. I have no friends to stay in touch with and am not sure if... |

He is a Bipolar NT who made the commitment to share housing with me and mine and this is a big thing as I have an adult son - more aspie ... |
