Any people with autism?

Anyone here with autism? Does it effect how you self actualize?

I know RSDtyler has aspergers, and he's done very well in his domain

Yeah I’m definetly on spectrum, I’d say Aspergers. I find that it’s helps for me but only because actualisation/enlightenment has become my special interest. I love gaining new perspectives about life in a nerdy way and very resilient when trying to raise consciousness. Downsides are probably not taking enough practical action,  getting trapped in theory and just day dreaming way to much. 

Ive come to realise that there are probably lots of people on this forum that are on the spectrum whether they know it all not. I can spot the aspie way of thinking pretty easily. In fact I’d say aspies gravitate towards the yellow stage quite naturally in spiral dynamics quite naturally easily understand systems thinking and see the world in a different way to most people.

Yeah I reckon I have Asperger's as well. Only really came to conclusion recently, was pretty averse to the idea.

1) Large skull size.
2) High birth weight.
3) Old mother, 36.
4) Tend to be systematic, but not conscientious or obsessive compulsive, but can get fixated sometimes.
5) No interest in play when a child, focus on Lego and puzzle Games.
6) Burst into laughter, at the witch melting scene in the Wizard of Oz, other kids started crying.
7) Vacant look, some of the time.
8) Aversion to noise.
9) Tend not to be social, by default.
10) Poor response to social cues.
11) Clumsiness.
12) More body hair than average.

RSD Tyler does look like he has Aspergers, now that I'm more conscious.

Supposedly the center region of the brain is larger, while there being less mirror neurons, that deal with things like empathy and facial recognition. I guess it is also going to effect things like learning from people & crowds, which sometimes tend to be avoided or ignored, although not unnoticed.

Might be because of older births, older offspring tend to be larger (see it in chicken eggs). Also makes me think of the story in the Bible. Joseph multi coloured dreamcoat, him being the last born and different. The last born perhaps being larger skulled, before the mother literally begins to split in half in child birth. Kind of like a last rounds thing.
