| One of the purported treatments for autism is the Gluten-Free/Casein-Free (GFCF) diet. Studies have failed to find a benefit, but the idea persists. Especially among those who believe that autism is a vaccine injury (it isn’t) and that mercury in vaccines contributed to the rise in autism rates (it... |

| Can you explain more what your mean by categorical hierarchies with regard to emotional connection and reality? I am thinking that you use preset categorizations for situations you find yourself in; that is, your response is not instinctive but thoughtful. Am I on the right track? That's part of it... |

| I am being forced to go to a ball next week. It will have about 600 people attending. I'm very anxious that I will become over-stimulated by loud music and lots of people. Also, I have never been to an event like this before. Does anybody have any advice for coping in such a situation? I am really ... |

I notice that I can emotionally connect better to reality when I can break it down into categorical hierarchies. Can anyone else relate to this?
I don't just mean understand reality. I mean emotionally connect to it, and feel engaged with it. |

| Yes I get what you mean. I know a lot of things. But when I try to explain what I understand and mean. It makes me look like I'm stupid and dumb. So yes if that's what you mean. Is that what you mean? That's definitely part of it. I can explain things pretty well on the phone but in person I can te... |

| I am NT, but I am kind of borderline NT; I'm just a few points away on the tests given by psychologists from ASD. Whenever nobody is home, I absolutely love to walk back and forth, from one end of the house to the other. I normally accompany this behavior with "interviewing myself". I bas... |

| I'd say you definitely fit the Asperger's diagnosis. I myself was diagnosed 15 years ago and have many of the same character traits you listed. Thank you for your input.

| Hey there. After long consideration, and dealing with a number of issues throughout my whole life, I am wondering if I have Asperger's.
