We're all on the Spectrum

TheCatWoman

It seems logical that if theres a spectrum, then as well as being somewhere in the middle you can be at either ends too, we probably know more about people at the extreme end of ND, but what of NT? 

I was thinking about the HoL reports on autism and the need to hear from ND people, but what if the people compliling the report are at the extreme end of NT? How would this effect the outcome of the report and the support it will suggest offer?

Is being very NT a problem in wider society and how does it manifest?

  • Having read all of your comments and views, it seems like you could write a book as whether we are on the spectrum or not? (whether one exists, I don’t know) but from my experience when I spoke to a clinical psychologist who specialises in autism about us all being on the spectrum ,she never told me that I was wrong.So I’m in two minds now about whether to tell my ND best friend that we’re all on the spectrum or not? I’m not keen on lying to her.xx
