| Yeah, this is basically the question. I've been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder but I literally have no sensory issues other than eating and chewing on things because of how they feel. Is this normal? Is anyone else like this? |

| I think you're right about misreading social cues League Girl. I remember that a lot of my problems were caused by me reading friendly social cues in a hostile manner. I was picked on so much that when I didn't know what someone was trying to convey to me (which was often) I always interpreted it in... |

| Symptoms of Aspergers I don't have 1. Alright so this is my problem. A lot of people with aspergers are not able to read peoples faces or their body language and miss sarcasm. I once saw a video for helping children with aspergers which showed pictures of people smiling and frowning and glaring and... |

| Don't know if double posting is allowed so forgive me if it isn't but I checked out the collection of scientific tests for autism and took the AQ and the Cambridge face recognition test. My score for the AQ test was 33, one point above the suspected autism line, and I got a five on the face blindnes... |

| Yeah, I'm no expert on the matter but I think that Aspergers basically is high functioning autism. I know for a fact that aspergers is diagnosed under Autism Spectrum Disorder. Don't take my word for it but that's my two cents. |

| I'm no natural flirt. My problem is that I'm naturally over polite calling women madame and ma'am even when they're my age or younger. |

| Do you experience too much empathy for someone? Can you feel other peoples emotions you feel overwhelmed by it? Is your dad clearly on the spectrum too or do you wonder the same about him? That's the thing about it, I don't suffer from any sensory overload. Loud noises, bright lights, and whatever ... |

| Did you do any autism tests? Was it a autism specialist who diagnosed you? I don't see how you can be misdiagnosed, you don't need every symptom and also AS and autism were both separate diagnoses then so it wouldn't have been a misdiagnoses if you don't fit the new ASD criteria. Times were differe... |
