Aspies are more different amongst ourselves

Aspies are more different amongst ourselves... than nts are (amongst themselves)

Do you agree

Based on what one can see/witness ... Do you see aspies grouping together and behaving like a bunch of neurotypicals do but in an aspie fashion?

If so, what is the behavior of a group of aspies?


In addition, are aspie children more alike than adults?

There's a youth centre over the road from where I work, and a lot of the young people who go there are Autistic (but a lot are high-functioning and verbal). I see the more high-functioning ones (Autistic or some other disability) are allowed to go out on their own to get their lunch, and I probably pass them a lot in the street and not notice that they are Autistic.

There are two kids in my daughter's class with probable Aspergers (my daughter is one). They couldn't be more different from each other (or the rest of their classmates). She's a sporty outgoing tomboy, full of energy and fun, scared of nothing except berries and hair bobbles. He's extremely shy, dyspraxic, quite melancholic and scared of loads of things. They get on really well, however. The other kids all seem very similar (except for the couple of trouble makers), but they must all have distinct personalities, they're just not as obvious as those two.

Aha, I totally agree with you on this.
Sometimes I feel it's good to be around NTs as much as being around people on the spectrum for this reason.
