yes. I think of it as an autistic trait.

Dont know why NTs would do that with you on the Net.

I wouldnt be so sure about that.

Despite being the larger population NTs seem to be more uniform in how they think than autistics are. Autistics vary from the norm, but vary in different ways, and in different directions. So autistics maybe less like each other than NTs are like each other (since NTs cluster towards the norm).


Every NT is still different. They are not mindless clones.

Also especially in older people there's undiagnosed aspies around.

My stepdad thinks he's aspie.

He's 75.

He says there's no point in being diagnosed now he's almost retired, it just explains a lot of his thought processes over the years & why he's always felt a bit adrift from other people.

In the 50s, autistic meant LFA.

Even in the 80s, that was so.

There really wasn’t a concept of a “Spectrum” until the 90s.

Remember that Rain Man was considered “high-functioning.”
