Clicked on the thread because I thought it would be about the type of exams... I don't think I have it but my brother and dad definitely have a lot of the tendencies but idk if it's to extent it could be properly diagnosed.

What tendencies are they?
Just reading an article on it and obviously I'm not a psychiatrist, just saying in my opinion I wouldn't be surprised if they were. These are a handful I would say they show to a greater or lesser extent (especially my dad actually): "appear to be insensitive, seek out time alone when overloaded by other people, not seek comfort from other people, appear to behave ‘strangely’ or in a way thought to be socially inappropriate."
Yeah, now why do we have yet another new poster asking the same as several other new posters in the last 2 weeks?

Behaving strangely? Like what?

I have Autism and was diagnosed in 2012.
So do you find it tough to talk to people?
Autism means high functioning retardness.

I have recently been diagnosed. I feel like I'm not normal because of ASD.😑

What kind of jobs do you people do? I mean being a doctor or a teacher doesn't seem appropriate for example.
Why don't they seem like appropriate jobs? I have a friend with AS who is a GP.

Well you need appropriate social skills for those jobs.

Yes and?
Can you seriously educate yourself on what AS really is?

Can you seriously educate yourself on what AS really is?
Then you should explain it.

I've been off TSR for a week and this is what I come back to...
Also,
This is the kind of thing that shows how closed minded people can be, even before they start talking their closed minded opinions. The simple 'us vs them'. It doesn't make you look educated, which is especially ironic seeing as you are referring to autistic people as 'retards'.
