I notice that many of the folks here at Wrong Planet have avatars in the form of cats? Why do you think that is? Were cats the first residents of Aspergia? Are Aspies descended not from apes(as neurotypicals are) but from the great cats? Is the answer to: If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be? -C.A.T. What's this special connection betwen Aspies and kitties?
Why, yes.......Thought you knew
Aspies are renowned for being cat-like and we do have many feline traits. Have you heard/read that Aspies are, socially, like cats whereas NTs are comparatively like dogs, with their societal rules and rankings? Of course, it's all anecdotal but nonetheless compelling.
Then the popular book,
All Cats have Asperger Syndrome by author Kathy Hoopman.
Respectfully, dcforeman, we do not "suffer" from AS but instead we, as Aspie cats
are neurologically different. Please know that's not (!) a negative attribute - the contrary! We have plenty of admirable qualities. Meow
EDIT: How remiss of me.....Welcome to the Wrong Planet, QueenoftheOwls!
I like your avatar.
