The schizoid ADHD combo (as posted doesn't hold water I think) These folks do not enjoy emotional intimacy and thus are avoidant or better: feel phobic and are smothered by it.


I wasn't saying schizoid. I was saying sensory processing disorder.

My point is that when trying to figure out if a child has ASD, it is moar useful to focus on the defining criteria for ASD instead of toe walking or other things that are not part of the core. Without the social and communication impairments and with a bunch of traits like toe walking, skin picking, and stimming, there is no ASD. It also doesn't matter how many nonsocial Rrbs there are, there is no ASD without the social deficits.

No, that's exactly how I feel sometimes--born without a soul.

In my line of work I have to do a lot of reading about religious stuff and in one of the transcripts I was reading (wish I could remember the episode, so I could double-check it), some people were talking about the soul as, among other things, the part that helps people connect to each other.
