my reponse to you was indicated in the very beginnig of my reply to your ^
post...^ my response to your writing,
...... ie.( the same rules apply to Allistic aswell as NT)
welll obviously my stating the difference between myself and my other NT siblings
does not falll under the parameters of the rule you spoke of. Declaration of such a rule , would absolutely negate physical probabiilty (thus appearing that your intent could easily be taken as contrary.)
of my experience ... ( not a nice thing to feel coming from someone , i do not know.) Nor familiar with my RL experiences .
Possibly just a bad choice of words in that case? no hostility intended.

Personally I preferred to take a deep breath and float on the surface.
The same rules apply to autistic and allistic people.
You write in such absolutes as to appear quite contrary...and btw
do not care to engage you in a difference of opinion . TYVM.
seems we have a difference of personal experience here .
used all my breath to stay under for 2 minutes after practice . just sitting in lotus position , On the bottom of the pool ,as time passed would let out small amounts of air over time, in order to extend my stay .. On other occassion witnessed my younger sister doing same in water that was just inches above her head, it was apparent to me that
She was standing in water that was just inch above her head. Realized had never seen her do this and knowing that her neural sensory processing disorder was more serious than my own , assumed she needed to be rescued , She did not surface on her own.
This writing merely depicts my own personal experience nor was i attempting to generalise my opinion, was merely curious if, anyone else had these experiences .
I wasn’t attempting to suggest you were wrong, I just posted a bit about the mechanics of human density and gave my own opinion about whether I prefer floating or sinking. I don’t understand why I’ve received such a hostile response to an innocent post.
Not gonna lie, I've picked up on the same vibe as Jakki describes from your posts at times over the years. I don't think it's intentional necessarily, I also don't believe that I don't share a tendency to word things similarly, but depending on the reader and how they feel at the moment it might lead to more hostile or defensive responses than anticipated, as well as people just not bothering (no matter whether it's you, me, Ezra, Pepe, goldfish, whoever it is being perceived that way).
That said, since it's a trait that a lot of us possess, perhaps greater tolerance when we perceive a poster is showing this attitude is a significant part of the solution, if it's mostly not intentional just insisting posters all be more careful probably isn't a solution. Everyone becoming too anxious to post for fear of being perceived this way really wouldn't achieve anything positive.

thank you for you allz responses.... glad to know is not just me and my sister ..mum spent hours on me when i was little in that pool , as i got older she insisted , i learn the deadmans float . told me it could save my life ... guess , she was wrong and was never able to do it . After getting over the fear of that and seeing other older siblings NT , swim underwater in that pool , whole new world opened up of being underwater , went onto learn SCUBA diving later on. But affording my own equipment eventually
ended that , plus did not like the idea of long term use and possibility of ending up with nitrogen bubbles in my blood . One of my better memories of those times was sitting on the bottom and looking through the water up into the sky above the pool .
Just try talking to a doctor about not being bouyant enough to float. or not ever hardly having a apetite at 16 yrs old , just do not get hungry that and the floating and you get looked at like you escaped from an asylum.. 
still gotta wonder if neural fiber ,general density , could a thing .And if somehow, might be connected ?

I don't imagine enough of our mass is from neural fibres for that to be a significant factor. Most of our volume is filled with mild saline or air or bone, and all three are slightly less dense than fresh water.

wants all deceased aspies biopsied to discern neural density 
Rumour has it Aspie brains have higher density of neural fibers,
? ....or wired more densely .. if such is so then why not the entire
anatomy ... Some clinic uber many years ago offered a live blood cell analyses
As a way to get patients in the door, was a new clinic ..Test was cheap then.
Was only 18 yrs old , she stated after close microscopic analyses
My blood density resembled that of a 80 yr old , Never forgot that .
This stuff makes me curious .?

It's still mostly salty water, so when they talk about differences in density, it's not enough to be relevant to your question. It would need to be an order of magnitude in difference, and we're probably not comprised of more lead and other heavy metals than the average person, no matter how much I would love to be able to tell people I'm 60% water and 5% heavy metal.
