| But S = detail oriented and craving for stability, which is AS-like as well. Nevertheless most aspies are N. This is what I mean. Maybe someone without AS would be an S type because they crave stability and are detail oriented, but they are able to stay more in-tuned with their environment. In fact... |

| From 3 to 6 hours, according to the days. I could sleep much more but it makes me only more *tired* - if I sleep until late then I'd sleep the whole day and have headache. Now I am trying to wake up naturally - i.e. without alarm clock - because waking up at the wrong point is the worst part for me. |

| I am sure about Canada and I have been told it is the same in Australia and USA as well. I don't know about the others but refusing "mentally ill" people is considered "normal". You aren't allowed even for family reunion (sp?). Are you sure about that? I live in Canada, and have never heard of that... |

| But what about information on your DX? Aren't those records supposed to be sealed? I currently live in the Netherlands but I am thinking about studying in the US for my PhD... AFAIK they should be sealed unless you have asked for some service in your Country... Not sure, though. A friend said that ... |

| From what you say, you are simply "whole picture oriented". It's just a learning/thinking style, not a specific condition. Then autism is not only being detail oriented. The opposite of autism is psychosis if you consider the perception (autists are hyper-perceptive and psychotics are hypo-percepti... |

| Another con is that you can be prevented from moving to some Countries; you cannot get the VISA if you have AS because it is assumed you will milk the system (even if it isn't true). Depending on where you are and what you are doing, you may or not have problems if you check the "yes" box when asked... |

| Maybe the little autistic professors and those who've found a job in their interest are too busy doing that than getting diagnoses or chatting on forums :). Good point. Seriously, this is the reason why I suspect the stats on Aspies and jobs to be flawed - because those who seek for an adult diagno... |

He had to be honest for sure. But please do not go too far with the "autistc gene(s)" being a curse, or we jump to the conclusion all Aspies should be aborted for their own sake.
I just think that the mother had the right to be informed if possible, period. |

Not everything that is a problem is a disease/disorder. Being a woman in Afghanistan, a gay in any conservative Country, or simply being unattractive, are all things you'd rather not be, but these are not diseases at all.
Then not all Aspies would like to be NTs but that is a different point. |
