INSIDE PERSPECTIVESOFASPERGER SYNDROME& THE NEURO-DIVERSITY SPECTRUMAnalysis & inside perspectives of some of the most common differences, difficulties, reactions, talents & idiosyncrasies in people with Asperger Syndrome, Autism, PDD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Sensory Processing Disorder, Scotopic Sensitivity, Synesthesia, OCD, Tourette Syndrome etc.
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.
