| My daughter firmly believes that my sz/sz-a is secondary to the ASD(Asperger's). The bullying and stress from being an undiagnosed autistic child then teenager - a trigger for psychosis. I tend to lose the plot when under pressure and stressed. I didn't get the dx till I was 62. |

| RTSD is more important than mean reaction time. A shorter mean reaction time will tend to result in a lower RTSD. Mean reaction time increases with age thus so does RTSD. |

I was privately educated at prep and then public school. My father had a brief spell as an army officer, before switching to work at... |

| But since some NT have these abilities too it raises the question does the autistic person have this “superpower” because of the autism or is it just statistical chance throughout the population.
