Question: Dear Doctor Tony, I am noticing people around me with what looks to me like autistic traits. Could there be a time in the future when the tables are turned and the neurotypicals are Aspies and the neurodiverse are what we at the moment class as normal people? Could it be that Aspies will eventually outnumber typicals?

I've been following your lectures for several years. Nearly everything you said is true for me. I'm 53 and have yet to find a practitioner to help me. What I've found is that after a year, when I stopped working as a manager, just thinking about returning to something similar gets me into one of the highest states of anxiety. A repulsion. I've repaired Black Forest clocks, love research, numbers, and mazes, have played the violin since childhood, and have many more hobbies. You're so right about many of us observing in early childhood, leading to a deep interest in psychology. Love all sorts of science, especially neuroscience. During my management stent, I wrote contract proposals. I liked the detail and procedural aspects of it. But now I write fiction with two novels completed and love it since I can propel myself to the worlds I create. But it doesn't pay the bills. I could help autistic people having difficulty navigating in the business/corporate world. Ones they feel they cannot leave, at least not right away. I wish I could find a practitioner that understands female autism more. I love how enthusiastic you always are!

The writing of notes that one of you are doing is KILLING me.... If you do a podcast for autistic people, you shouldnt be making extra noice when others are speaking. Sorry bout the rant...

Bullying behavior is a tool those who posses both high social skill, along with dishonesty / grandiosity use to intimidate each other! Simply put, the target is just a prop used to intimidate the bullies actual rivals, those with similar social status. Number 3 in a hierarchy will humiliate number 26 in order to rattle number 4 and number 2.

Dr. Attwood, In your article "Autism over the age of 50," I think this is the correct reference "A Life Lived in the Shadows: Social and Emotional Functioning in Older Autistic Adults and the Potential for Successful Ageing", Berthine Ommensen Bachelor of Arts (Hons), Psychology. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2023 School of Psychology. I'm one year younger than you and discovered I am very autistic (Asperger's) around 2016, when I started researching the subject because I suspected my then, 23 year old daughter might be autistic. Very mind-altering experience when reviewing a lifetime of experiences, and saying to myself, 'So that's why I did that', and so on. Have done a lot of research and reading and although I don't feel any better about myself, at least I have some basis of understanding myself a lot more!

shit... and i was just studying her topics.... Positive Psychology is the shittiest of the shits.

All the best to you both for your retirement! May you enjoy your new phase in life! Well deserved and earned! Thank you for all you have done for us! Hugs, dear Prof and dear Craig!

Hello I was just wondering who likes emine the rapper 8 mile I zinc personally will attwood tony son is good example respect man x

TERRIBLE EDITING THO lmao

Hi, I’ve been watching for eight years. I am very happy to have met you. You guys were a lifeline when I felt overwhelmed. I wish you a happy retirement. To share a little bit, last year, I held my first employment as a teacher, and had I not known that I was autistic, I would not have known how to develop self-care for my neurodivergent mind. I love what I did, and I think I was helpful to my team because I knew myself. The information I learned in the interviews translated into how I looked after my students. You helped me build my esteem; thank you for everything.

I don't understand why anyone would not be able to love or handle more than one aspie especially in 2024 when we have so much more help. I am a mother who has a severe mental health illness and some aspergers personality PTSD mother. Born at the last month of the 60s. Married in 97 to Extreme extrovert and primary Believable NT . 2 children one born in 1999. Now 25. Yes it was extremely hard to be a mother and a working mother. Second child born 2000 December he is ASD and MDD ETC. I can't imagine my life without all of us. My illness was not treated until 2005 to 2007. Now I am in treatment program with medication and therapy. I was a wonderful mother because I followed instincts and listened to my children. And they were good. They we and are a joy. I had lots of support. Now not as much but I think there is a real strength in numbers and no person I have ever met is truly NT maybe I just can't see it. But our different perspectives and struggles have been challenging and rewarding. So far we are maintaining hope. And things are getting better. Unfortunately due to the knowledge in the early 2000s of aspergers my son was not tested and diagnosed with aspergers until about 2013. He struggled not academically, but socially, we thought he was just exceptionally altruistic and his verbal mimicry was wonderfully entertaining. Our daughter has probably the most NT personality I imagine. And she is a better NT in growing up with a close sibling who has such a different personality and perspective on socialization and who has musical and verbal talents. Yet struggles to get shoes tied or make appointments. It is a challenge of love and hope anytime you are a parent. But there are helpers out there...keep looking. Never stop getting help .
