| I'll have one more crack...! I think aspies communicate effectively amongst one another - certainly well enough to produce food, and an organised society look at Germany :). Not all aspies share a dislike for loud noises, or bright lights etc. If the world were 51% aspie, would NT's be wrong? I do n... |

| Do you think the world would be better without us? (The subtext in my questions is the notion as to whether aspie people have something wrong, or are part of the fabric in the same ways as NT's) |

| I think my opinion can be held without diminishing the need for aspie type people to be properly supported, and made able to deal with an NT world. |

It is important to get a diagnosis for ANY mental health issue... but that is not what I need discuss to today... Is... |

| Just to qualify my statements - I like your writing and the contents hold so much truth. It's only the referencing to people like us as bungled NT's I find inaccurate and subjective. |

Part 54
