NT is also a disorder or condition?

Post Reply New Topic

My biggest doubt is the definition relative of healthy across cultures.

Being an NT is a condition taken for granted by society at large. It's not defined as a disorder.

And that's where my doubt of definition of exclusion lies -- in which NTs are taken for granted by society and by each other.

Because the human collective is developmentally delayed -- not in an individual sense that most NTs are.

While I'm arrogant myself, I'm not that stupid arrogant.

My doubt is not to put down NTs -- it's the opposite even.
That there should be more than an average NT are seeing and experiencing everyday.
Beyond whatever bitter and/or pedestaling types of aspies are seeing about.


Thus somewhere in one of my previous posts from this very thread; in which NTs are only as healthy as the society/societal standard they are adhering to.

What if the society itself is sick? Or even defined by another society as sick?

I came across an interesting research article, published this year, where they did detailed brain scans of lots of people, and found some slight differences in brain structure between autistic people and other people.

The original article is here (I think you can just see the abstract though): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04554-y
and you can the a pdf of the full text here: https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... n_lifespan

Figure 3 of the paper shows differences between brains of different groups of people, such as those on the autism spectrum, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, etc.
The Alzhimer's people have brains that are most different, and schizophrenic people also have very different brains than most people.
But the autistic people also have some differences in their brains from the 'average' of the rest of the population.

Interesting, don't you think?

I wonder will one day soon will they be able to discover subtypes of autism spectrum in this way, e.g. people who are affected mostly by sensory issues, versus those affected mostly by emotional issues, or those affected mostly by social communication issues, etc.
