INTRODUCTION

 

Hi and welcome,

 

   I am a Swedish female diagnosed AS/HFA in 1997, at age 35. Like a growing number of experts and people on the Neurodiversity Spectrum, I consider most Autism Spectrum Differences to be natural neurological- or personality-type variations, explainable by any combination of the following:

 

·  Personality type & neurological structure geared towards specialisation or creativity rather than towards generalisation, vocalisation and socialisation.

 

·  Quicker-than-average intellectual or creative development, often at the expense of:

 

·  Slower-than-average social-emotional development.

 

·  Androgyny or different brain gender than body gender.

 

·  Rare temperament (e.g. being an Introvert or Intuitive).

 

·  Atypical learning style & brain hemisphere dominance.

 

·  Tendency to trance or space out.

 

·  Innate sensitivity or sensory processing differences.

 

·  Differences in energy level.

 

·  In some cases perhaps also actual neurological impairments.
