Why are you here? I believe that everyone in my immediate family (myself included) has some AS traits. Reading this forum has given me a different way of looking at everything that's happened in my life. I think I may be the most NT of the four of us, but I've just begun to figure everything out.

Family: Mom, dad, younger brother. We have two cats- one that I raised since he was a kitten and the other who we recently adopted as a stray. The cat that I raised is very neurotic, skittish, fastidious, and content to be alone at times. The one we adopted is friendly and can't stand to be away from us. Now I wonder if we have one AS cat, and one NT cat.
Clothing: I actually love comfortable clothes which still look polished- the best of both worlds.
How did you find this website?: I googled "neurotypical child of Asperger's parents." And this website has changed my life because I now understand how my parents see the world. I'm not kidding.
Job: Writer
