I was documenting my mental architecture for myself – it is hard to find Mitigation techniques if you don’t understand what is happening. That was the case reading books and articles about autism: many of the problems and techniques that were described just didn’t fit. This model does. The jury is still out on the mitigation, but I am already seeing some positive effects with my wife.
As I was researching this I naturally wanted to find other records of people like myself. I can’t be unique in this world and finding a research paper or study that described this would give it some legitimacy and hopefully provide a well of information.
Sadly my quest failed. Where Are My People?
- clinical frameworks focus on disorders (impairments)
- people who don’t experience distress do not seek diagnosis
- I suspect there are many “Stealth ND” individuals in technical fields.
My hope is that someone like me will find this and recognize their own architecture.
Does this sound familiar? I have a Checklist if you want to see what I think might be discriminating factors.
