| No. Just no, it's not. It's underdiagnosed in women and girls, not non-existent. Please do not return ASD women to the category of invisible non-existent people. To call Autism a "man's disorder" is like calling it a childhood disorder. Autistic adults exist. Autistic females exist. |

| I don't think Hermione is on the spectrum. She not only gets other people's emotions, she explains them to Ron the Clueless. As presented in the movies I could maybe see it but not the Hermione in the books. Her social skills are not at all bad. |

| Maybe. She is more likely to be on the spectrum than Neville Longbottom or Newt Scamander, the other two HP-world characters I've seen floated as possibly Aspie. She has the social awkwardness and the special interest. She has the stubborn tendency to cling to what she believes is true regardless of... |

| My oldest brother is cool and mellow and pretty much everyone gets along with him. My other brother (my younger brother who's older than me) is bombastic and often obnoxious and behaves like a chauvinist on purpose sometimes to see if it will get a rise out of people. He disrespects my mom but he's ... |

daughter's tone of voice
No matter what I say to her or she says to me, her voice is sounding snappish and snotty.

| I dreamed that a co-worker of mine and I were in a room I've never seen before there was a refrigerator with two doors on one end of the room and a coffee table so close to the fridge you could barely open the doors my co-worker was rearranging everything in the fridge. There was nothing in there bu... |

| I learned to drive the forklift when I worked in a warehouse several years ago. I was a little worried about it, it seemed hard so I was very very careful. Maybe a little overcautious. But the other woman who learned it at the same time as I did--definitely not an ASD person--was more confident and ... |

| Raymond Babbitt, the character, I believe is moderately/severely affected by autism--but he possesses savant skills. I believe HFA and Asperger's are different; though both are on the autistic spectrum. I basically agree with what Kortie said here. I think that if Raymond Babbitt were "high fu... |

| I haven't seen any of these movies so giving you my opinion likely won't help you much. I can tell you that Thor wouldn't have a regular Superhero Origin Movie though. He's not an ordinary human who becomes a superhero like Spider Man, or an alien who comes to earth from another planet like Superman... |

| Not offended by it. Did find it a little bit funny. Of course I just watched it without the sound. Even just the visual--it was clear to me that the NT's were over-thinking it. I over-think a lot of things, but stimming, I just do. When I do think about it, it's along the lines of how NT's think it'... |

| No. I am a language/science person. Math is ok but history I cannot concentrate on. Don't get me wrong I got good grades in school even in history class. But I enjoy studying language stuff and sciencey stuff, and have to force myself to do math. At my age and in my career path I can avoid history a... |
