Wait..... You're a dude!

Whoa....

Thought you were female all this time.


Does that mean I'm definitely NT? If females are the opposite of males, and autistics are considered the opposite of neurotypicals, and autism is thought to be a form of an "extreme male brain", would the "female brain" be the characterization of an average NT?


HUH??? WTF does being male have to do with being NT or not?????

I am female and apparently am also pretty ASD. :roll:


LOL. I was just making a (what I thought was humorous) comparison between "extreme male brain" theory of autism and what would supposedly be an "extreme female brain" theory of neurotypical-ness, assuming analogical opposites are 'valid'. And, this whole "male brain" / "female brain" theory isn't directly linked to your sex, as it is more linked to your psychology. So, if my brain is apparently female because you, and many others, have thought I was female from my communication, then that must mean I'm NT, right? [/"friendly-teasing"]


Doooop!! Sorry. Missed it entirely as humour. I do that a lot unfortunately. :( Part of being me. You might as well be NT for the way that you think compared to me. ;) :lol:

Just for the record, I didn't think you were female. Too much testosterone in most of your posts... :wink:

Lol. Aggressiveness?

That seems to be consistent with various hypotheses and theories I've seen as applied to my situation. I've heard that the top 10% or so of the most aggressive African boys were essentially exiled from their society, and that aggression is correlated with brain size and intellect (Bill Gates is a pretty aggressive guy). Considering my past academic and intellectual achievement and considering the 'alienating tendencies' I seem to induce in various social environs (Like this one; lol), over-aggressiveness might be the simple explanation I've been looking for in regard to my "social difficulties", and it has nothing to do with 'aspergers'. Of course, maybe it's a mix of over-aggresiveness and being more aspergian than average? How god blesses some of us, lol. (Actually, that might be more of a blessing than I currently think.)

Btw, I love business. Cash flow is coming in, and with my genius and knowledge, I've figured out how to significantly reduce operating costs by more than 50% for commercial equipment, which means there's millions in commercial contracts that are ripe for the taking. I just need to develop the equipment and I need to secure a first round of funding, and I can see myself being catapulted to MILLIONS!! ! :twisted:

So is this typical type A attack and conquer attitude or is it delusions of grandeur? Coupled with the aggressive 'maleness' are you simply cut from the same cloth as Alexander the Great and Bill Gates (where else in the world can you find those two names being used simultaneously?) or are you suffering from some sort of organic brain dysfunction? Real fine line there...

It's all personality. everyone has one and, for the most part, they are all different. Go forth and conquer! Screw the labels. It is quite clear than not only males display a big set a cajones... it's all attitude.

You'll probably need to be 'erect' if she's an older woman. ;)

The lack of loud noise will be good for neighbourhoods trying to sleep on weekends

My analysis wasn't comprehensive coup d'oeil, but now that I've ran the numbers, it looks like the total cost reduction is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10%. That's significant at industrial levels, but definitely not "Taking the industry by storm" that I was hoping for. Drats! I wanted a multi-million dollar company within 2 years but it looks like I'll have to go with the typical 10 year plan. *sigh*
