| I think perhaps they had it confused with a different syndrome. Still very rude, what a back handed compliment. Attractiveness is really subjective though and all sorts of people can be beautiful despite having disabilities normally associated with unattractiveness. As it goes all the people I know ... |

| Some people should just not have children, NT, Aspie, able bodied, disabled or anything. They probably shouldn't be allowed pets either :-( Lots of people do choose to have children though when there's a good chance of them being something other than NT. My brother was a test tube baby for older par... |

| In the UK I think the most similar legal drug is probably Ritalin (aka kiddy speed) and that's not even a true amphetamine. Still a Class B without prescription though. It's very dangerous to self prescribe and over here the legal system reflects that, strict penalties for possession of amphetamines... |

| Question for NTs: I have no special interests per se, but I do go through stages of watching entire series of TV shows back-to-back. Would you say that's a particularly non-NT thing to do or do some of you do this as well? I don't think many NTs do this but i definitely do! I am Aspie. NTs do this ... |

He is Aspie too, the meltdowns are usually because he's in a situation where he is meant to be sorry. Or he's excited and we've asked him to calm down. He has no fear or sense of embarrassment  |
