Hello my cyber friends on the Spectrum. I think I'm probably a neurotypical but just not typical. Kind of hard for me to explain also. I like being with friends but I really don't like big crowds. If I had to describe myself, I would say I am an extrovert living inside of an introverts body, if that is possible. Anyway, I subscribe to Netflix and just noticed a show called Atypical which is about a teen on the autism spectrum. There are 2 seasons available so it's been around awhile. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen it and if it's a good representation of being on the autism spectrum.
Just following your posts has been quite an education for me and I thank each of you for raising the awareness and contributing to this dialogue.

Yes, while I'm probably neurotypical I understand what John is saying. There are degrees of being neurotypical I'm sure. I really get my energy from alone-time. I too, have appreciated this discussion. I realize that we are all different in our own way and that makes us unique. As we interact with the rest of the world our uniqueness enriches the lives of those around us. If there is one thing I've learned from this discussion, is that we should all celebrate who we are.
