HI guys, I'm suffering from Excessive NT Disorder. Sadly, 95% of the population does suffer from some form of the NT Disorder**

My family and friends constantly chide me, "GET TO THE POINT, stop beating around the bush, You've spent 20 minutes on the backstory and you haven't even got to the main story!"

I focus constanly on feelings and often write about the 'feeling' that gives me.

I constantly interpret facial expressions for problems and check on people, to the disdain of quiet people everywhere, "ARE OK? ARE YOU SAD? WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET?"

My grammar and speling is often terrible even when I make an effort to watch out for mistakes.

When I socialize with my friends I constanly show excessive over the top expressions and speech patterns, "OMG! WOW, AWESOME..."

I'm even told in my writing that my writing, well, it's what's known as very 'expressive, or colorfull' but often people have to infer or guess the true meaning of my words because I lack skill to come straight out and express I ideas in a logical and cognitive manner. Often I'm told that my writing lacks direction or it is too 'over the top.'

Sadly there is no cure for Excessive Neuro Typical Disorder. *

*Note, I could not write this on facebook because the NT community are ignorant of Excessive Neuro Typical Disorder and they would have paniced for my health.

Is there ANY treatment for this or advice you can give me?

I am known to chatter on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on aand on ando and odna ano anoamonfn...

Alex, don't you dare let anybody tell you that being NT means you're defective! Sure, you're different; but that's okay. We need all kinds of different people in the world. Besides, NTs have special skills that can be quite useful to the rest of us. Surely you've noticed how much more quickly you pick up on emotions and facial expressions? Okay, yes, it can be a little painful when other people's emotions bleed into your own; and sure, it's tough to face peer pressure when part of your identity comes from the groups you're a part of. But every kind of life has drawbacks! The NT life has its good parts and its bad parts, just like life in general does. You're an okay person, even if you're not autistic. Sure, you like to talk about things we find inconsequential; but don't lose hope: Just like you can learn about how to talk about a specialist subject with someone who's an expert, we can learn how to connect better with you by following the patterns of small-talk. The world needs NTs and autistics both. In diversity, there is strength!

Yes it's a joke and thank god you found it funny because I've made 100 or so jokes already on this forum and I've done nothing but ruffle feathers. I'm glad you found it funny. OMG!! ! Everything I wrote is true except, the fact that it's called a disorder. I really do have trouble getting to the point and everything I wrote. I thought it would be kinda funny to turn it upside down, please keeping going with this, I have an NT disorder/desire to 'socialize.'

lol, thanks callista!

Well let's see, how can we tweak an excess of dopamine -- nature's extroversion hormone? Haldol works and blocks dopamine :P

And its place we can infuse acetylcholine into your veins-- nature's introversion hormone.

Don't infuse ACh. That would mess up all of his muscles, leaving them continually contracting and then going flacid when Ca+2 runs out, and it would mess up several other systems that are part of the autonomic nervous system.

By the way I loved the OP, and the first reply.

I thought this was really funny. I hope that doesn't offend you in any way, League_Girl. There is just something so Aspie about it.

I tell funny stories with a straight face for the very reason so people aren't sure and then there's a touch of an awkward feeling, and voila-laughter. I tell a lot of jokes where the person asks 'is that a joke?' That gives the best response, most emotion, best and hardest laugh. FYI, I study humor.

Neberts, thanks for the info. lol. Also, what is OP, I seen it mentioned a lot.

Callista, I still keep on laughing. :) Thanks Kinme!

Today, before I saw my girlfriend I was in a panic-my razor broke! I felt like I was gonna DIE! I ran back and forth in frenzied stuppor trying to repair the razor, alas it was dead. I appologized profously to my girlfriend. I suffer so dearly from ENT disorder that I toss out old mechanic outfits. This is sad, they're supposed to have grease and holes in them. The social hierarchy's laws are still in effect when I'm in my garage working on my car.
^^^^All true and so sad. Is there any thearphy for this disorder?

Thanks. It's all sadly true. I just asked my mom, do I beat or around the bush or get straight to the point.

Mom: You couldn't do it if your life depended on it...

Thanks 65536 and I wish the best for your sister too. I'm so glad that you understand. People are constantly coming up to me and saying things like you're NT, oh you're so expressive! I really glad you understand.

:D lmao 65536!
