Understanding Teenage Brains: https://wix.to/i8y4PW6

Teens are erratic. There is no doubt. Some are more so than others but there is a general theme to that time of life. It isn't necessarily upbringing or even their DNA. It is simply brain development stages and what part of the brain has control of thoughts and emotions.One of the first parts of our...

Thanks to my Asperbro, Rich Brendle, for this video. It is right on the mark. Hans Asperger stopped the N***s from killing their up and coming rocket scientists. He did send Level Three people to their deaths at a Vienna hospital, so, not a hero...but he did figure out those of us who are different, but pretty good. This young woman explains the situation of Level One and Level Two (hate those terms, along with ALL monikers that are or have been used). Please watch. Einstein, Tesla, Mozart, Newton, all were autistic and Da Vinci probably was, also. Today, Musk, model Christine McGinnis and this attractive young woman are among us. The mental illness she mentions is anxiety from being different and demeaned. Dr. Probst.

Being diagnosed with autism is often seen as a tragedy. But for Jac den Houting, it was the best thing that's ever happened to them. As an autistic person, c...

I'm calling hogwash on what's going on with people who are believed to be on the autism spectrum. There is a growing practice of counselors and psychologists of using IQ testing and other non-relevant tests to tell somebody if they are on the spectrum. Many times, they say no, when the person actually is.
We have an autism trait inventory, developed by Dr. Gary Probst and three other mental health professionals who are on the spectrum, themselves. If you are on the spectrum, you can pretty much tell it in others. We did borrow some of the less insulting questions from inventories produced by Newcastle, Oxford and Cambridge universities in England. Still, many of their questions are stereotyping and just plain wrong.

IQ testing is biased against people on the spectrum because of the tendency to have the rapid thoughts wander and issues with hand-eye coordination. Examples of people on the spectrum would be Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein. Other examples would be actor Dan Akroyd and supermodel Christine McGinnis.

If you are on the spectrum, do NOT give in to counselors who want to change who you are. Be yourself. Learn to love yourself. Understand that you are in a league of geniuses who struggled in school. Mozart was an autistic savant. Would you like to be known in the community of the people mentioned above?

You may not be a genius but you are likely smarter than average. The only "approved" test is a box of toys called the ADOS. There are doctors out there scanning people's brains and treating them like laboratory animals. NO. There is no "official:" test for adults, only questions from a person who is on the spectrum.
Don't spend big money to have somebody inspect your brain. You have more white matter than most, according to research, which means more neuronal activity. You have more firepower in your left prefrontal cortex. That's abnormal...in a very good way.

So be like Elon. Use your brain and don't back down to those who want to change you. His mother's advocacy is why he is the richest man in the world. You don't need to change for society. Society needs to change to understand you!
