Anyone without autism here?

Post Reply New Topic

Im just wondering if anyone is here without autism not to affend anyone i just find that its easyer to talk to people without it even though they say i have it myself...so im wondering if theres anyone out there that wants to talk that dosent have it?

I am diagnosed with asperger's. But i find that i can get along with both neurotypical and aspies. Actually now that i think about it i find that i have not spoken to many aspies in real-life. If with any at all. My friend is neurotypical and we get along very fine.

I am an Aspie but I don't have any problems relating to NTs. It all depends on the type of person - never whether they're mentally disabled or not. I've only met one Autistic in my life, and that was when I was 17. But I am quite an adaptable person - I can practically get along with anybody if only some will give me a chance. But, yes, all my life I've grown up in an NT family and went to mainstream school, so there was no escape from NTs, so I had to learn to get along one way or another.

NT here

I'm neurotypical here, one neurotypical brother and one autistic brother, so I know all about this kind of thing.

Even I find some neurotypicals difficult to get along with. I know all neurotypicals seem alike to autistics, but we're not. We all have our moments too, and get angry at things, and even obsess over things.

For me it depends. I have a hard time relating to people in general, NT and aspie. I can relate to anyone but that depends on the person. So it be impossible for me to answer who do I relate to more, autistics or NTs.

I'm NT... but some of the students I work with who know me best say that I'm aspie... I think they're joking / only really commenting on the things they recognise of me from themselves. Still, I tend to get on better with aspies than NTs; aspies make more sense to me, and they seem to get on better with me at work than my NT colleagues do.
Aspies rock hehe

Im aspie, Im probably borderline aspie/NT. Most of my friends are NT being that theres way more NTs out there. I can relate to both in different ways.

Maybe I never was officially diagnosed, maybe I have a different disorder.......but a lot of the AS symptoms fit.

ADHD here. I'm still not sure about the autism, though it does help explain my pattern of socialization (or lack thereof). Some days I think I have Asperger's and other days I think that ADHD already explains everything.

I'm not sure what I am anymore, but I know I'm not a NT, that's for certain.

Anxiety disorder/broader autism phenotype here. Fit the symptoms of AS perfectly as a kid...but not so much now. A few psychiatrists, including my current one, say that while I have traits of AS, I likely would not qualify for a diagnosis anymore. I have many NT friends, and have average social skills. Still, I'm here because of the traits that I still have (primarily obsessive thinking), and still have an interest in the autistic community at large.

NT here, with a daughter with classic autism. I have alot of AS traits and sometimes i wonder, but I've never sought out a diagnosis

I don't know consider myself to be autistic, but broader autism phenotype.
