I didnt realize that people claim to have aspergers or autism without actually being diagnosed with it! Thats kind of ridiculous to me...
I agree it does minimize this disorder much like claiming ADHD for a misbehaving child. People are claiming aspergers for not having good social skills? |

| I know NT stands for Neurotypical, but what exactly is a Neurotypical? The name would appear to suggest the modal neurology, but in that case, why are people going on about how a lot of people are NT? What exactly defines an NT? I am NT. I am not diagnosed with any sort of mental disorder. I dont t... |

I am an "NT"
I have never even noticed being called "them" or "they" here or anywhere else for that matter. It really doesnt bother me to be generalized. The fact is that I am a "them" or "they" often just like you are. Everyone is "them
or "they" in some respect or another. |

| Wow, what a great mom. I don't know that I can give a good answer here. My parents (pre AS days) didn't do much about bullying (which was not horribly severe, but bad enough) and school systems back then didn't identify and correct bullying like they do now; but if my parents hand-held me through i... |
