    Just got diagnosed

    Hi all, I just got off the phone with the psychologist who did my neuropsych evaluation. It’s official - I am autistic! She said there was a big discrepancy between my verbal (strong) and non verbal (very weak) abilities. My working memory was very poor, processing speed difficulties, and...

    What Hogwarts house would you be in, and why?

    Slytherin is defined by accomplishing a goal by any means necessary and cunningness. It is not the "wizard superiority" house. It's just that many of the old racists of the wizarding world want to achieve their goals by any means necessary, and they end up in Slytherin. Your desire to learn...

    What Hogwarts house would you be in, and why?

    Hi All, I am currently researching everything I can about ASD, as I believe I am living with it. I am trying to get an appointment to get tested, but in the meantime I'm hoping someone can answer this question for me: What does it mean when the literature on ASD states, "people with autism...

    Hi there!

    Hi Tom, Thank you for your response. I only want to approach my mom because honestly I’m worried that the evaluator won’t give me a diagnosis unless he or she can see that I had signs even as a child. Maybe it’s just me overthinking things And yes! That is my boy, Ike. He is my best friend...

    Telepathic/Empathic science fiction

    Selfishly, I would only do it if I were the only one who could read minds. I'm always self-conscious and always wanted to ability to hear what others thought of me.
