| Unlike my prev comment Ive just watched the first clip and don’t see the big deal here. He just says to the parents he thinks their son has ASD and they should get help for him which sounds quite reasonable to me. The man in the audience talking about the “back of the brain” was just generalizing ra... |

| Autism and our symptoms are the reason for our unemployment and poverty with society views playing only a small part. The truth of it is many of us make poor employees, our problems with memory, inability to concentrate on tasks and poor communication skills make us more inefficient than those of ot... |

| Elon Musk has Asperger's? The playboy and entrepeneur who's been married 3 times and was Amber Heard's paramour? Are we sure this isn't just some "I'm special, my brain is special" narcissistic stuff of the sort Musk has been accused of before? Since you put it like that it all seems a bi... |

| MarketWatch : " WATCH: Elon Musk reveals he has Asperger’s syndrome on ‘SNL’ — here’s why that’s raising some eyebrows " The article mentions one viewer's comment: "Normalizing Asperger’s is huge.” I suspect that is true. My diagnosis arrived so soon before the Pandemic (and surgerie... |

| It’s still very confusing since kids may have talked on time but with very limited speech full of echolalia. They would be classified as having Aspergers. You would have kids with no noticeable speech problems in childhood who talk on time possibly like Ellon Musk labeled as Aspergers as well. So tw... |

| Here’s the clip : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fCF8I_X1qKI Unfortunately there are no biological markers for ASD so there are two explanations:- 1. There is an ultra small % of super high functioning aspies with some traits of ASD that don’t have the problems that nearly all of us have. In fact the... |

| Sooo.. I'm thinking of going away for a period of time to I guess feel my presence out somewhere other than in my house. Maybe a day or 10 and see how I feel. Yes it's weird one would consider such a thing but yeah. I sleep on streets sometimes. :? I just want to feel like myself, just somewhere el... |

| If your implying that it might make me a better oral communicator, your wrong. There are biological blocks that stop this happening, nothing to do with education. Possibly to do with speed of neurons & working memory issues. |

He wrote that he could have empathy with people if he thought it would benefit him but he had no empathy for other people. Sometimes my ... |

| Empathy is the ability to understand another's feelings. There are different types of empathy like cognitive empathy, what many with autism have difficulty with, and effective empathy, which we don't. But this is the ting about empathy: it does not mean you are a nice person or more caring. If you ... |

| In fact ASAN was probably founded due to Autism Speaks pro cure position at the time. Then the National Council on Severe Autism was created following the rise of neurodiversity and Autism Speaks removing the cure objective from its mission statement to please ND.
