| The other question not answered here, is whether the rate of ID with or without ASD is also increasing. If not, then either there is a greater co-morbidity group or milder ASD with ID is being diagnosed. Here is a study showing the rate of ID has not been increasing, but the rate of co-morbidity has... |

Welcome to Wrong Planet.
Yes, 13 is kind of late to first notice any problems for an ASD kid. My parents certainly noticed problems before I started school. And once school started things were rocky from then on. |

| For me, building electronics as a hobby has been my most intense special interest. Cool! what are some of the things you have built? The most interesting thing I built was a pay TV decoder box. This was in the 1980s and it could be done fairly easily. It never worked very well though. This was not ... |

I would bet everyone in government would love this IA tool idea since it takes the imperfect decisions they inevitably make largely out of anyone's hands. The probl... |

| If true, this would make Donald non-autistic, but still on the spectrum. What "spectrum" are you talking about, if it's ASD that would make him "autistic" in the sense it is typically used here. Although I realize this is only my own hypothesis, I believe he is the flip-side of ... |

| For a diagnosis, I believe they are more interested in the intensity of the interest than what the interest is. It is intense if it is one of the following: 1. You work on it too long, to the point of neglecting other important tasks. 2. You keep taking about it, even when someone doesn't seem inter... |

Jordan Peterson seems to have a high opinion of Elon Musk, doesn't attribute anything about him to neurodiversity and then at the end jokingly (I think) calls him an alien and reptilian. |

| I believe there are many autistic adults who are not identifying as such. Therefore it does not surprise me that many would identify as introverted. I think we don't have to be introverted to be seen as introverted. People don't understand we don't socialize because it is difficult for us and think ... |
