| Hi welcome to Wrong Planet! I can't give you much advice on navigating ASD at 52 as I'm 17 and just now starting the process of being diagnosed myself but I wanted to pop in and say I love your signature! I'm a bit of a Latin geek myself. |

I've wondered for a long time too, I saw a documentary on autistic savants when I was maybe 9 and I'm by no means a savant but things just felt eerily similar (the sensory/social issues) I've been seriously researching... |

| No one of the main characteristics of NVLD is good understand of the meaning and intricacies behind words. It's very similar if not identical to Grandin's Verbal Fact Thinker. I was diagnosed with it a few years ago because of the very large (as of the most recent testing 55 point) difference betwee... |

| I get a strong urge to bite the people that I'm close to kinda the same way people do with a baby. I've chocked it up to "love aggression" I also used to grab and pull people's faces for what I can only assume was a similar reason when I was a toddler. I also enjoy closing my eyes or press... |

| I'm the opposite as well super sensitive to cold and can tolerate relatively intense heat. It's weird though, as a kid, I remember people always asking if I was cold or hot because I didn't really react to either normally. |

| I haven't heared of or seen sunglasses like that but I think they are a great idea. I'm not sure how they would be pulled off though because they would have to be the opposite of a car. |
