Is anybody else here on the spectrum? I ask because it seems to me that many would be based on shared interest and other cues. Just a shot in the dark but I have a strong hunch I am not the only one.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is "the spectrum"?
Um there's about 100% chance he means the former (autism spectrum).
Y[...] Oppositional defiant Disorder, ADDHD, it makes life interesting.
Some people grow out of parts of their brain chemistry. Some develop coping techniques. Others grow into a different part of their brain chemistry.That is NOW deemed to be a medical condition?
I thought that was just part and parcel of growing up !!

I recently found out I have HFA and I can tell you knowing is the best gift I could have ever received, things make more sense now. I could go on and on about it and I actually typed out a long winded sermon but thought better of it and deleted it. I am 44 years old and I finally given myself permission to be myself and not some avatar designed to be viewed as normal. Normal, what a funny word.
Some people know what they mean to say, others may hear it differently. Precision matters.Synonyms. Typical and normal, in true TRF style splitting hairs is high art. People know what is meant when someone uses the word normal. It's not to say if you are not normal you are subhuman. I'm damn proud I'm not normal. How boring.

What if... what if the way I feel about it and the way you feel about it are as different as our approaches?Not in this case. Subjective quantification do not need to be precise. You might look into why you have issues with normal, it doesn't seem normal to me.

Uh, yeah, whatever Columbia..
I have dyslexia, although minor, it has hampered the whole school experience. Only diagnosed later in life. Knowing I'm an 'M' class dyslexic now really makes scene of where I was, why I struggled, and where I'm going.. And why I can hold an engineering job without an official piece of paper!
I think you and I can agree. The doctors over medicate people especially kids. People truly do have issues but like I said I think doctors go overboard about things.
