| Sounds like coping and self-serving propaganda to me. My dad is an aspie as well and severely narcissistic. I live with him as I am disabled, and it injures his self-esteem so much that he is viscerally repulsed by anything and everything I say. He can't even look me in the eyes because he would be ... |

| There's a lot of ways autism can manifest in a person, don't let the cliques or popular stereotypes fool you. I went 34 years thinking I was just some rare NT or some undiscovered type of person because I didn't fit the typical aspie model. I am terrible with logic, to the point I believe it's an ac... |

| A lot of people here trying to smokescreen and hide that this is very likely resulting from your autism. They're feeling embarrassed by you and trying to manipulate you into believing it's normal. Ignore them. There's real biological problems that result from autism. It is a whole-body disorder. The... |

| I think animals can tell if we're autistic, though of course they have no word for it that they're labeling us with. This is not nature's first trip around the block, autism has occured for millennia so animals have had time to adapt. And on this note, they can sense it's a disorder. I am disabled ... |

| I have heard of this possible connection between cluster B and autism. My anecdote absolutely follows this pattern. My family is full of people with a mix of narcissism, BPD and yes even psychopathy. It has been an impossible challenge for me to survive this family setting with my health intact, I h... |

My parents wanted to fix that and had the professionals throw the kitchen sink at me of testing and treatments. Turns out I have a high IQ, parti... |

| I am not a logical thinker. Well, everybody sometimes looks at things from a logical point of view, but generally I wouldn't call myself a logical thinker. I'm very irrational and I see things from an emotional point of view. Sometimes I feel that NTs can switch their emotions off when they want an... |

| These are all wonderful strengths in my opinion. Thank you for sharing them. You remind me of a Star Trek Next Gen character who was a diplomat much as you describe. :) Do you still explore your musical and artistic talents, even without pursuing university?

| Hello meatball4u, Welcome to the forum! I can't say I struggle to the same extent with logic, but I can relate to what you say, in that I was late diagnosed, the whole woman thing likely affected that. I have an issue with my intuition and logic playing tug of war. It is hell to pick a side for me ... |
