Well i wouldnt call it a "Disorder" or something... NT's are if you ask me everyone else than me (except ofcourse those who really arent NT)... But i would NEVER call it a "Disorder" like they do on that page... lol...

I like this bit in the "What to do if you suspect your child has NT" section:

"it is still possible for NT children to enjoy the limited senses that they do have."

Puts a positive spin on sensory overload. I'd never thought of it like that, but I suppose it is an advantage as long as it isn't pushed to far.

Wow! And the "experts" and "professionals" like to say that we aren't creative?

Oh dear. There's no denying I have this dreadful disorder. No wonder my partner thinks I'm weird :cry:

Hope they're working on a cure...

I am in favor of the following:

Applied Behavior Analysis combined with aversives, to solve some of the behavioural problems caused by this disorder.

At last, things are starting to look better...

Eschewing all dubious and question begging neurological and genetic humbug, the more accurate label for the disorder in question is: Heteronomy.

And "Lack of Theory of Mind" is more propperly, low self awareness, an aspect of poor emotional intelligence.
