Hello :D what Kind of hopes do you have for the neurodiversity movement? :) 1) That neurodiverse people will be better understood and accepted. 2) That more of us will be able to work for a living. (This will likely require some new ways of structuring businesses. More on that some other time, in a...

I don't think the idea of an "Aspie nation" is at all practical, but I think it's a worthwhile thought experiment to explore what such a nation might be like. Here is an interesting example: What did you have in mind for the NT children who are born in your Aspie nation? In my opinion, the...

The simple answer to that is don't listen to their words so much.

Not so simple. Personally, I get annoyed when I'm in a conversation with someone who doesn't seem to be paying close attention to my words. Do others here (both ASD and NT) feel the same way?

Real simple I'm sick of all this NT crap about developing social skills. So much of it is mimmicking nt's to the point that we don't appear different. Making eye contact, isn't a social skill, it's a social expectation. Being socially considerate is a social skill, like being able to predict what m...

I do understand forced isolation/loneliness that some NT'S do go through from time to time,but it's nothing like it is for a Aspie person,where a vast majority if not all of the non Aspie/Autstic population is judging him/her becasue of their differences and being bullied becasue of those differenc...

Hi all, New here. I'm very glad that this forum exists. I'm glad to see an independent web forum -- much better than, say, a Facebook group. (Too many autism-related groups seem to rely too much on Facebook groups, alas.) I have a longterm boyfriend who was diagnosed with what was then called Asperg...

I've never been able to get through a Myers-Briggs test. I've tried online Myers-Briggs tests a few times, and each time gave up in frustration before I could finish. For too many of the questions, either I had no preference between the two alternatives offered, or the wording of the question made a...
