Can't comprehend words in written form.
Must say words out loud while reading them.
Common?
Anyone else do this?
How common is this specific act? |

| What is this visual thinking thing? I think in pictures, but I'm told other people don't. How does a person think if not in pictures? |

| So... Say someone has autism (truly), but not a diagnosis, they are not actually suffering? Is it the piece of paper that causes the suffering? Or the disorder? Cause if the piece paper is what actually causes the problems, then it would seem strange that you're so proud to have it. I mean, being th... |

I know they are different, but the awkward, skinny, androgynous qualities it causes in males can be similar.
Also the long fingers thing. |

I've asked this before, but need to again because I'm really hoping to get an answer.
Has anyone with Autism/Aspergers ever been told they may have Marfan Syndrome? Do the symptoms ever get confused or misdiagnosed (early on)? |

| "Not-ism" - I think it's a way better term than "NT", but that's just me. Anyway, Has anyone ever heard of AS being similar to/confused with/misdiagnosed as Marfan Syndrome? Or has anyone been told they have Marfan Syndrome or been tested for it? I was told I had it by my doctor at Mayo, but never g... |
