[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 683546, member: 11791"] Absolutely. We are way LESS tolerant than we were 100 years ago. Life was also at a slower pace, which worked better for most people. My son would love to jump in a time machine and go back 100 years. Aspies are typically found in engineering, advanced science (PhD types), information technology, and the arts... In other words, fields where thinking "outside the box" is an advantage. Define social. My guy was social too... as long it was people significantly older or younger than he was. At 12, he was fantastic with 6 year olds... or with adults. And impossible with peers for ALL of his life. Peer relationships is what defines social skills. The rest can be "figured out" fairly quickly, as adults don't change much, and the expectations for people significantly younger doesn't change much either. But as kids and teens, peers change socially very often and quickly, and non-neuro-typical kids can't keep up socially. [/QUOTE]
