... I don't know about you, but for me "functioning" is dependent entirely on my ability to manage my environment, have contact with people who can communicate...
Very well said Dora. Thank you for your very keen insight. Jacquie ... I don't know about you, but for me "functioning" is dependent entirely on my ability to...
As you know, some people suffer from a pervasive developmental disorder known as Neurotypical Bullying Syndrome or NBS. It is not their fault. They are born...
WOW! Dora, you so phenomenally laid out the logic here! You are exactly right and expressed it so well! I am really impressed. Thank you very much for sharing...
Liz, Thanks for that great explanation of "label" I totally agree. I recently went to court over custody of my son and that was something his father kept ...
I completely agree with you Dora on being empowered.... but I understand why I would not want to be labeled even though I have had my son "labeled" . There are...
Since you brought it up, please help me understand. I hear this all the time, but find it nonsensical. Why does being "labeled" matter? Who cares? Who needs to...
Hehehe. LOVED this bit: they do well in PR, marketing, business, armed forces, police and politics, indeed anyplace where bullying is culturally entrenched....
Hello Dora - Greetings from Romania ! I'm 31 years old now, male and work as Teaching Assistant in the same place after I graduated in the department of...
Hi Mircea-from-Romania! ... Yup! That's exactly it! The names vary in the US: cybernetics, systems science, and complexity are the three main ones. I am...
I'm not sure if this is what you're driving at, but in my DH's situation, he
was concerned that he would be forced to disclose his condition if he got an...
I'm in this situation - I am hopefully going to one day be in a serious position of responsibility, and I'm worried that if anyone knows I have a formal...
My mom and I think mostly for my ex anyway, that he thinks if his son is
labeled with a "disability" then it somehow reflects on him as a man or a
person. We...
[ Dora Raymaker] ... Please tell me what interests you, and we'll discuss... Do you wish we e-mail privately ? You already 'gave' me (and all the list) your...
Neurotypical Bullying Syndrome Awareness Training should be fought against tenaciously as flagrantly unethical and calculated to hurt people. Why? Because of...
It's pretty grim to hold back from having the recognition of aspie for fear of prejudice affecting work. (i) It's not a dangerous medical condition, (ii) apart...
Thanks so much to everyone for the the letters telling me something of your own situations. It really does help. I don't know how to help my son. He doesn't...
That is what I told him. There is no obligation on his part to disclose the
information unless he so chose. But I think with the ostracizing he has
faced in...
... [ snip ] Agreed, fully. However... I believe it's a moral imperative to tell *family* about the label, whoever may get it; and the genetics of it,...
Appeal! Appeal! Appeal! Fight their decision, trust me SSI doesn't want
to give their $ away but they will if you fight it. My son and I were lucky
enough...
Alex is 17, autistic, and an avid runner. You can see photos of his runs, his stats and awards (last year he was the PEI Roadrunners Club's Rookie of the Year)...
Just my tuppence worth. For the first three years after receiving an AS diagnosis I embraced the condition, viewing it as a neurological difference that we...
Preface: This past week has been unreal. I live in Baton Rouge, La., the closest city to New Orleans I sat through the hurricane last Monday thinking that...
Hi there, ... My mom does this all the time. It used to drive me crazy whenever I was dating anyone. I'd barely be on my way out the door for the date with...
Interesting term "thin slicing". I've never heard of it before but while taking a pschology class on perception I read about an experiment that was performed...
Something interesting about "thin slicing" - It's really weird. I think about this in relation to dating, for example. My taste got worse, not better, from my...
... I imagine that could be something autistics could be good at- I've noticed that I tend to be more aware of such "subconscious perceptions" than most ...
