- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I'm not NT so I like having the freedom and time to cook up good responses to texts that I can't make on the spot in a call.
(Btw not saying that NT people can do that easily but they seem to always be able to think quick on their feet socially speaking)
What is NT?
The only NT I know is Windows NT (I'm old)
Im just gonna copy paste because I don't think I can summarize it better:
"I'm not NT"
Not with that attitude! For real though, nothing in this existence is black and white. Labels are for cans, not people.
Correct, DSM has pushed this notion that correlation and diagnosis of symptoms are well understood when under the DSM they are more loose associations of symptoms that say nothing of cause. You wouldn't group and heart attack and a broken rib as the same illness just because they both have the same symptom of chest pain. This isn't to deny the real symptoms people have though.
I don't know about this DSM, I just don't like labels. Especially "normal", that one sounds really lame.
hmmm
I chose the word NT because I think it's the least divisible label.
I don't choose or want to be neurodivergent, I'm reminded by NTs that I'm not normal in everyday life through social games and hints that I don't understand.
I wouldn't want to be called NT or non-NT. I definitely wouldn't want someone applying an opposing label to me just because they perceive I'm different than a label they identify with. Everyone is unique in their own way. You can just call me human.
I wish you the best, friend.
That's okay. Same to you.
