  • Most things assigned with "Dis-Order" or out of order are all still under research. They keep getting thrown out of the DSM or re-worded.

    All disorders are contrasted against Neuro-Typical society. In any given society the target for how the majority thinks, perceives, socialises and understands life can be subject to change but most are wired for Tribal Inclusion while Autistic individuals tend to be Wired for more analytical components of society. 

    The better question to ask yourself is what your strengths and weaknesses. What are your natural talents and are you open to growth? Can you be a better version of yourself. On my fathers side, we tend to be more critical, so it's important to recognise not to be critical of humans but of things / systems. On my mothers side we tend toward entrepreneurship, and that can be isolating, so it's important to always be open to critical feedback about ambition and not just run over others for the sake of my own goals.
