| Hi,guys. I am starting to work on my dissertation on college students with autism. To get more ideas, I tried to picture myself as a student with autism and imagine how I would experience the campus life. But at some points, I can't figure out how should this be going. To start, I suppose that I wer... |

| If the simple fact that we are aware that we are doing something "weird" was enough for us to be able to change it completely and fit the "normal" stereotype, believe me, autism would not even be a problem and most people perhaps wouldn't even want a diagnosis. It's not like this: "Ouch, so i stim ... |

| Don't worry. You're question isn't offensive. I think that for the most part just about every aspie knows they are different. The thing is that appearing normal for you is effortless. To appear normal for an aspie can be very difficult. For instance, you probably look people in the eye without even... |

| Sorry if my question is offensive, but as a NT who is interested in autism, I am a little puzzled. At first, I thought people with autism didn't know they have problems in communication. But as I log on this forum, I found out that: wow, these are supersuper normal, rational and logistic people! So... |

| Trying to act "normally"? What is normal anyway? For me, being normal is being who "I" am and not what someone else is. I function best when I am "me" and not putting on an "act" to be what I am not. If I were to act "normal," then I would not be showing those around me the true me. What is normal?... |

| I think you bring up somewhat of a valid question. However, I think you should really research this site, other autism sites, the autism research, etc., so you'll understand autism better. It's not simply a matter of "willpower." Anyway: as long as you don't harm anybody, or harm yourself, why shou... |
