whats a nt? i already know what as is.
Or Neuro-Typical as some like to call it meaning that they have a normal brain, a minority these days :/
Yes, NT is neurotypical.
But I highly doubt it to be a minority. Some people just think a little different, but are still NT. Please note: You are NT if you've being diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. Those aren't real.
ADHD is definately real, trust me on that one
ADHD & Apsergers are real but they are being deliberatly over-diagnosed (and mis-diagnosed) by the American drug companies so they can make more money as per usual and kids are always a soft target because parents panic :/
In the UK it seems the opposite where a cash strapped NHS avoids diagnosing in order to save money.
Which would be typical state influenced backwards thinking in that by misdiagnosing people you are more likely to see them later on in life repeatedly for undiagnoseable symtoms because as soon as they admit they know what you had they get sued, assuming they aren't trying to pump life back into your suicided body.
Morning all
It's possible in Australia that Autism (especially in older people) is underdiagnosed due to lack of health funding. On the other hand, as we follow US ideas in a lot of ways, parents may be encouraged to panic about their child having autism.
It seems that a diagnosis of ADHD is more "acceptable" as this condition is supposed to be able to be medicated with Ritalin and similar drugs.

With all due respect for the many whose experience with psych meds has been negative, may I say, as a middle-aged educated adult who began taking ADD meds just 2 years ago, I am satisfied (so far) with my own medication experience and would like to point out that if I buy something and get my money's worth, that is a fair exchange, not some kind of exploitation. If the meds didn't work for me, I wouldn't be taking them! I'm not saying there's no malpractice going on, or that every prescription is written purely for the highest good of the patient, but some of us on meds ARE being helped, so thank God the help is available & let's all just be informed consumers...
