Hello again!

First:

Peoples are not "walking things" and if everyone of us will go read on any kind of disorders then will be find something on self!

That is all relative, we all have AS, OCD...but no one have it, understand?
Someone with only OCD can get diagnose of AS, i want to say that no boundaries at all.
It is easy to give someone a diagnose, but what next?
I asking myself, what will be new on AS thru the 10, 15 or 30 years?
Who knows...

Second:

Please let me someone explain what is difference between AS and NT(Neurotypicals)?

Thank You!

Just reading the diagnostic criterias for AS, does not make one able to understand what autism is all about. The diagnostic criterias is just a way to observe the conscequences (spelled wrong) of the disorder, not the disorder itself. To fully understand this disorder, you will have to do some serious studying.

I would like to recommend these top of the line books on autism:
Uta Frith – Autism - explaining the enigma
Uta Frith – Autism and Asperger syndrome
Tony Attwood – Asperger syndrome - a handbook for parents and proffessionals
Chistopher Gillberg – Children youth and adults with Asperger syndrome

I have read all of these plus a couple more several times, and I do have the diagnosis of AS myself. It is not possible to understand this disorder fully, just by "having a diagnosis".
