    My personal opinion is that everyone is unique and while we all come somewhere on a spectrum or more than spectrum, it is not possible to absolutely pigeon hole someone. That is to say, we are all different and a mass of contradictions (well, NTs are a mass of contradictions so why not people on...

    I don't know if Mengele was exactly neurotypical, he was definitely a pathological psychopath though! Well, as far as I can tell, though I'm no expert nor am I a psychiatrist.....

    HA! I did the same thing but it was due to a few severe sunburns that led me to always wear a cardigan, though I would end up getting too hot and having to take it off. I love Seinfeld! Quirky is a favourite trait of mine!

    Well, disagreements aside, thanks everyone for the welcome! I believe we are all on a spectrum, though some spectrums maydiffer and our places on them are all unique. I don't think you can "tar all people who are either NT or not NT with the same brush" so its unfair to say all people who are X...

    My son was diagnosed with Asperger's aged 6, about 2012. He was always a bit different and we could see lots of things that we knew were not typical. Risperidone is for things like schizophrenia, it is an anti psychotic which is supposed to help with autism spectrum disorders also. Puberty hit...

    This is interesting for me to read as my son has begun saying he thinks he is evil and that he has evil thoughts. He also deals in absolutes, isn't that the nature of the "beast"? I agree wit the previous reply, you are not evil! You have bad thoughts, everyone has bad thoughts. You don't go out...

    Comment by 'Mrs Twillight Zone' in 'Day 9: Some spiraling'

    You are not alone in thinking like this. Even "neurotypical" people have these thoughts. We all feel like this at some stage. I myself feel a bit like this as I am pushing 50 and wonder where the so called light at the end of the tunnel is. Probably an oncoming train to run over me...

    Hi all, I have been struggling to find an online forum and I've found this one so I hope things work out for the best! There are not enough resources for parents or their offspring with Asperger's or autism and I have decided to figure out if I can get more advice online. I have a son in his...
