I sort of thought, with such a strong trend toward monogamy in the A/C community, why aren't we a separate sub-species?  I might be excessive in my feelings but I feel that we are so very foreign to the respective gender of their species.

No I don't like the usual common things that most people do. Nor am I "hypersocial". I am quite the opposite, and I am NT. What does this say about me? It doesn't give me any ability to make a judgement as to whether I feel any 'more human' than someone I have no experience of being.
Concerning the question, "Do you feel as human as an NT". We are talking about comparing human to human. As Noetic said, "I wouldn't know what it's like to feel like anything or anyone other than myself".  To state: "You don't have to be a Horse to know that you feel different from a Horse?" maybe true, but is an irrevelant analogy.
Neigh, I think you are wrong.

I always felt that I was an animal (some sort of cat species) trapped in a human body.

I feel more human as one with AS.

When I was a teenager I read a lot of science fiction. I really felt like I was an alien and that one day a space-ship would arrive and I would meet all the other people who were just like me.

Well, the ship arrived last year.

It isn't a space-ship but a cyber-ship.

Thank you to YOU, the crew of the

AFF Neurodiversity!

I know I am different and always will be. But I don't feel like I have AS. I feel normal. I am maturing and keep learning how to cope and will keep learning new skills to cope.

I know exactly what you mean - When I was younger, I used to obsessively read fantasy novels, and I especially loved the ones where the protagonist turned out to be from a long forgotten race, with hidden abilities...

*grins* I guess I had an inkling even back then.

I don't believe in more human or less human ideology. I believe in diversity and celebrating differences. I am different and sometimes I do feel ostracized but I wouldn't trade being different. As a writer, every perspective is important and I believe every soul is valuable. I do not like NT vs. Aspie I believe in people first AS/NT are secondary- they don't define who you are. I wish these prejudicial and bigot mindedness would be abolished forever. If we learn to celebrate differences there would be no fear.

The truth is GuessWho I had the same Naive notions that christians were "better people" then the masses, but the case is... they only act like it superficially, most of them are only in it for the reward of eternal life, not because they genuinely love god or jesus, or any such garbage.  If it wasn't for the teaching of forgiveness, most people would never become christian.... I can only imagine how long christianity would have lasted if you had to be totally pure and make few or no mistakes.

Being able to make mistakes lets people excuse themselves and gives people an out to be irresponsible (cheat on their spouse, divorce, whatever you want).

Most Christians today are far and away not very Christian at all, and you should know that better then anyone.

Unfortunately, I think this is all true. Mind you, in Jesus' time, there were similar people - the Pharisees, so religious hypocrisy has been around for a long time.
