Not to my knowledge. Probably the opposite. I was rather advanced from a young age in general. I was running around the living room at 9 months.
But if I have autism it's high functioning anyhow, which is often average or above average verbal social skills... but lower than average in other forms of social skills. Non-verbal stuff.
I'm fine with words lol. My mind's eye is almost completely blind though. I don't think in pictures at all. No matter how much I want to! (which makes certain aspects of my life rather frustrating to say the least...). I'm all sound and words lol.
Can you recognize the differences between angry faces, sad faces, happy faces, etc?
Do you have to consciously think to make eye contact with people when you talk to them, or does it come naturally?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
