Interesting post: lived with a cold fish most of my life, so that means that there was not much oxytocin there, but yes I see patterns everywhere too. It is fascinating really.

I'm sorry to hear it; I wish there was more warmth in the world. Perhaps this will also interest you: I also found some research closely tying oxytocin to sensory filtering and processing ability. I'm taking supplements to promote oxytocin, and it appears to be helping - it's definitely helping my son. His brain is young, though, so it's easier to rewire;).
 
Uh, from what you are describing, I would conclude that the person who is trying to diagnose you doesn't know what they are doing. There are a lot of incompetent "helping, caring, fixing" people out there... I believe yours is "Guessing" Get a different opinion: START WITH A MEDICAL EXAM. That is absolutely necessary to rule out a specific physical problem (balance, hearing, vision or coordination of sensory info.) Everyone suspected of being ASD must get a thorough medical exam FIRST.
