To a blind a dog is assigned as a guide, to a mind blind what?

Not a darned thing. Remember adults with ASD aren't supposed to exist, or we are supposed to grow out of it. Well thats how I feel in trying to find the training techniques, and support that a 5 year old can get. I guess it's my own fault that I was born in the 70's. :twisted:

I found spending a year learning psychology, self help literature and training to be a high school teacher hugely useful in developing my ability to empathise with people or, at least, to cognitively emulate the tasks more typically given to the mirror neurons.

Patient friends who like to explain things also help (when I can summon the humility to tollerate the condescention :P). But the telepath idea takes the cake by far!

I could be "mind blind". But then I really think that it's just that I could care less for people.

A way to eliminate NTs, so it stops being such a serious issue.
