    Do you space-out when discussing detailed things in conversations?

    I definitely space out in conversations, especially small talk/gossip conversations with neurotypicals. I find most of small talk to irrelevant and thus the topics in my head are so much more amusing to me. I usually remember to maintain eye contact and I rely on scripts so that I don't have to...

    Losing my friends again. This is the third time.

    I beg to differ. I believe that intelligence depicts where on the spectrum we lie on. So don't put yourself and your intelligence down. You're intelligent because you can function.

    Autism and Freedom from the Self - Exciting Study

    That is also a good observation and hypothesis. It would seem that a sense of self can be developed through conscious work and experience. My former therapist worked very hard on helping me develop a sense of self. I do feel less depressed and happier when I can embrace her. Only it's not as...

    Autism and Freedom from the Self - Exciting Study

    Very true, I'm curious if it can be recreated with the same results. I doubt it. I should trace the article back to the actual research article in a peer-reviewed journal. I doubt they vetted the participants to ensure that they all come from similar backgrounds like trauma free, socioeconomic...
