Astrology & Aspergers - is there a connection?
I highly suggest you google search the results for Indigo / Crystal children and or " bundle charts astrology" and you will be interested in what this has to say. For quite some time now, I pondered whether there was a link between specific looking birth charts and having a disorder. Well it seems that those who have a " bundle" chart and were born after 1970 often display ADHD or Autistic traits. The chart pattern I'm referring to is the position of the planets at your time of birth, so if you can tell me what your chart pattern looks like ( astrolabe.com) I can further assess your theory.
Mine's bundle-ish, if I disregard the outer planets.
I've looked at a lot of people's charts, some with ADHD or Autism, diagnosed or self diagnosed, and I haven't found a pattern like that. Some are in fact quite splashy or splayish

My chart is a Bundle, and I have also read that certain conjunctions of Uranus and Capricorn are often prevalent in the charts. Here's a cool link that I've found today and someone posted about WP in it too!

here's another link

"Signs of Mental Illness" by Mitchell E. Gibson, MD is an interesting book that uses unusual astrological markers to predict things like depression, ADHD, etc. He doesn't get into ASD, but his methods are highly unusual, even for the subject of astrology. His system uses elevations - how high or low the planets are in the sky - in addition to degrees of the zodiac, which gives him an additional dimension to deal with.
If Dr. Gibson's research proves useful, then perhaps his techniques can be applied to autism as well.
I know a lot of people instantly dismiss astrology, but I enjoy it without making any claim on a causal relationship with respect personality. The ancient principle is "as above, so below," which to me represents the fractal nature of the universe. A fractal universe could contain the infinite number of multiverses that quantum mechanics predict, so I think it's pretty cool.
Besides, I really don't think a NT spent all the time in isolation tracking the planets and coming up with patterns and correspondences. This field, as a paleoscience, would likely have been the profession of our aspie and autistic ancestors, and for that reason alone deserves some respect.
Peace.
The Week of the Ruler, nice.
Must be why I'm so controlling and kind of wish I was a Tyrant.
Sup, Stalin.

I'm not really down with astrology but this sounds kind cool:
ester them away from the mainstream.

So, we might actually be cyborgs. Humans are struggling to make a robot that can process and learn like humans can, so this apparent human but great systemiser might just be God saying 'you failed, here let me take care of that for you.' Or mother nature or whatever you want to believe. Nature's cyborgs.
OK, back to science.

I think you're talking about declination there? Yup, some astrologers don't bother with that, but it can be useful. I've seen some interesting evidence of how 'out of bounds' planets can manifest.

Interesting...I guess mine is a locomotive pattern. All the planets fall on the left side of the chart, except Sun/Mercury in Gemini leading the locomotive in the 9th house. Neptune, the caboose, is in my 3rd house in opposition to the Sun.

September 6. Virgo 2, Week of the Enigma. Well, I looked up enigma and one of the definitions is "a person who is mysterious, puzzling or difficult to understand" I guess I am difficult to understand, being an Aspie, no-one IRL knows how I see things.

What the hell is a cusp?
I was born in April, which is mid-spring. I really do not think which month you were born in affects Autism. I know loads of people and some were born in spring, some were born in summer, some were born in autumn and some were born in winter.
