Much of it is attention-seeking. And don't even get me started on the mothers drugging their children up on Ritalin just because they are boys being boys.
Ciao darling, yes you got it, "attention-seeking", and I agree with anything that you have written. I have noticed that they are full of tics, manias, fixations, they use to tell and write long texts about their "state", and I find this very few "autistic". Some write to love solitude and to not tolerate human relationships, but they ARE just having a sort of "relationship" and contact with others writing so much of themselves to other people.. truly I find them very self-centered, maybe AS is a real kind of disturb of personality, but I see also a lot of hypocrisy beyond and inside them, it seems to me they're continuously looping around their will of having attention, but hypocritically: first they say let us alone, and then they say listen to our problems. Mmh..
I agree that this could be a sort of disease, but not of the autistic spectrum.
(just my opinion)
