rowing up in an Asperger Family

AH, but folks with autism are like snow flakes, as no two are alike. How can

anyone speak for all folks with AS? Just as no folks with NS/NT can speak for

all. We are all so unique. All we can do is offer our perspectives and how we

experience the AS/NT connection. It does not matter if either side is correct,

all we can do is tell our story so other's won't feel alone. That is what

ASPIRES's is all about.

Just me.

Other's?

ok lets try another analogy......CJ

if i was a male obstetrician...I could deliver babies.....explain difficult

presentations and have a lot of experience at obstetrics...in fact i could know

everything there is to know about delivering a baby.....except one thing...what

it feels like to have a baby.

There may differences in experience at this process.......due to size of baby

and mother..and more so the availability of drugs and pain relief....

but AS people know AS better than non AS people........can someone explain to me

what it feels like to have a baby?

40 AS

I agree with you, . Like you say, we are all snowflakes, whether

we are AS, NT, or something else.

I may be an Aspie, yet I no more understand some Aspies than I do some NTs.

Best,
