Wonder if he might be aspie too.. overly casual about his being slightly brilliant . Have seen his work .... keep discussion direct sincere , to the point . Smiles only as if , mirroring a person. Its in his mannerisms .
Had met at his clinic a professor , introduced me to wider concept of the microbiome In the entire ground floor of a forest . He , this
Doc am going to see, treated this microbiologist Professor ,whom had been suffering with
Stage 4 colon cancer surviving well past expiration date . Only dying after changing to a different doctor 1800 miles away from where he lived? Weird little clinic he has ...
So odd after being here and grown up with non verbal sister and my own diagnosis later in life.
Am seeing distinct difference regarding asd in person whom prolly are ,and , distinct NTs mannerisms .Oddly it is little easier to spot than before .

Different topic:
Hate write this but some bad actors asd persons , apparently undiagnosed, posing as NTs .albeit appearing to do it somewhat poorly .
Most likely never diagnosed , albeit , although maybe hfa , Seemingly get upset around other
Asd people . For fear of being found out ? Cause they are already suspicious of themselves possibly.
Recent experience with another woman. Whose actions , i cannot characterize in any other way.
i didn't know u had a sister who was non verbal and asd!! ! ! i truly believe in the genetic component! it's unfortunate that when growing up they weren't as aware of verbal ppl with ASD or females. and diagnosis and help didnt occur.
my verbal ASD kid is soooo asd but in a 'can pass as NT because intelligent and social and not as severely affected' but it totally affects his life.
but since he has Diagnosis and i attended seminars and workshops for him (even though i attended others for the other, those werent helpful since surprisingly there is little help for the most severe ASD kids or their parents!! ! !)
and hi s teachers at daycare know, they are all more accommodating and caring and dont berate him in the same way as they would have done a non-diagnosed kid. since they know it's part of him.
it's good though that people who were diagnoses as adults can speak about all the bad stuff that happened (most of which they probably dont even remember or know) from misunderstandings and stuff. why..because that is adding to the knowledge base for professionals and parents.. that's what a diagnostician lady told me... she wanted me to tell her about the bad stuff so she would know the value of an early diagnosis
edit- i think my non verbal asd kid who has many issues is actually more intelligent than his brother,
more socially intelligent especially..
just delayed and disabled. i mean that he was born more intelligent. but just blocked off by a big brick wall placed all around him that blocks his inner world from most people. unless they actually care to know him.
Thank you veery much for your excellent feedback . Albeit naive . My sister and i were pretty intelligent . Her looks , gave No clue of her non verbal disposition
And it would not take much for me to believe she is /was smarter than me.
I had no idea what mirroring was till later on .she never got that .
It caused me much greif not knowing of it , for so long. The concept had escaped both of us. Defo agreed on genetics , perhaps genetics with a twist.
