    If you "see" like a NT, would you want to?

    Oh wow, that was an interesting article. I wouldn't want to risk that now. Thanks for sending me that link. I had no idea it had permanent effects on some people. I can see why you would be opposed to it. I hadn't thought that deeply about it and should have. I was simply thinking it would...

    If you "see" like a NT, would you want to?

    I don't think the object of the study was to find a cure or treatment, but to understand Asperger's better. I understand what you're saying though about permanent effects it may have. I hadn't really considered that. I have a biology degree and worked in entomology research, so I think the...

    Diagnosed officially this year at age 51

    My depression is much better now. Thanks for the advice. I've never really celebrate Xmas much as an adult. Don't know if it's an Aspie thing, but I'm not into holidays much at all. If I find a gift I think someone will really like, then I will get it no matter the time of year, but I don't...

    If you "see" like a NT, would you want to?

    Thanks for the reply. You're right, but like you, my curiosity wants me to try it. But, it did depressed the woman in the story, for a while. I'm just getting over my depression from being diagnosed. And it doesn't work on many of the people who were in the study. I really wonder just how...

    If you "see" like a NT, would you want to?

    Hello to everyone. I'm new to this forum and new to being officially diagnosed even though I'm 51 years old. During my research of Asperger's, I came across a fascinating podcast about a woman participating in a study with TMS that allowed her to "see" the NT world, but only for 30-45 minutes...

    Does anyone else feel like they are constantly putting on an act?

    Actually, they have been doing research with TMS therapy on Aspies. It is magnetic waves that stimulate a particular region of the brain and in some Aspies, they are able to "see" the world like a NT, but it only lasts for 30-45 minutes. There's an interesting podcast that tells the story of a...

    Does anyone else feel like they are constantly putting on an act?

    Most of my life I've played numerous parts, but only when I have to such as at work or when I was in college. Basically, when acting more normal will get me the job, promotion, etc. I will act and talk differently to each person based on how they act and talk. But, like others have said, it...

    Diagnosed officially this year at age 51

    Hello to everyone, I was recently diagnosed at age 51. I was originally misdiagnosed with Schizoid Personality Disorder in 2003 and, while I do have some of its traits, I never thought it was the correct diagnosis. I thought Asperger's made so much more sense, so I consulted a specialist in...
