    Autism and Intellectual Impairment

    It depends. There is ASD-Aspergers with nornal to high intelligence and there is ASD-autism with intellectual disability. The latter is the sad reality of many autistic people. Maybe it's intelligence itself impacted, maybe these people are so severely ill from overstimulation that they can't...

    Do NT-Designed IQ Tests Truly Reflect Neurodivergent Intelligence?

    Cognitive abilities are one of the factors that impact how life unfolds. There are many others too such as health, socioeconomic background, getting married and having children...

    Do NT-Designed IQ Tests Truly Reflect Neurodivergent Intelligence?

    I was responding to: I never had that experience with any single psychological test. Unlike many forum members, I didn't learn anything from psychological diagnosis. Some of the results were even false, as it turned out later.

    Do NT-Designed IQ Tests Truly Reflect Neurodivergent Intelligence?

    A psychological test has never given me a sense of my limitations, I'd be very curious to know how to cope with them. Limitations don't have to be cognitive. If it was all cognitive, we'd all be rich and happy, but we're human, made of flesh and blood and affected by emotions too.

    When are empathy and social sensitivities taken too far?

    I think I wouldn't end up in jail ;) , but would be poor, less educated, less healthy, fat, depressed and would enagage in drama and abusive relationships. It helps to have a perspective on things.

    When are empathy and social sensitivities taken too far?

    Psychology isn't an exact science. The claim that psychology makes is that everyone acts exactly how they feel. This is not true. I don't see why on earth anyone should be or is empathetic 100% of the time or else it's sociopathy. Psychologists make the old mistake of projection of who they are...

    Are you an older adult that feels somewhat marginalized and at times gaslit by medical personnel?

    I'm a young adult but I feel pretty much the same way. I stopped going to doctors - but it's a luxury not everyone can afford, certainly not older adults. They tell you you're making things up either because you're young and "emotionally unstable" or because you're old and "it's aging". Men...

    Help understanding my son better

    The last time I went to the cinema, I had to leave halfway into the film, I said I need to go to the bathroom, I did and then walked back and forth for some time on the corridor and then came back. Apart from being unable to sit still for that long, the level of noise and flashing lights made me...

    Help understanding my son better

    Me too As for 1 I have no idea. Maybe point 2 will kills two birds with ome stone. Verbal stimmimg is also a kind of stimming. I can't either. The only solution is to find socially acceptabke ways to seek stimulation. For a child, fidget toys might be appropriate. I have seen somewhere that...
