| Hyposensitivities. Apart from hyposensitivity to pain, these are less obvious than the hypersensitivities. I guess they are ignored a lot because in most cases they don't have much adverse effects, yet I believe they have subtle effects on social behavior. For eample: I tend not to react much to lo... |

| Do you consider someone who has borderline Aspergers or who has “traits” to be on the spectrum? |

Not sure about the generalization of sports though, many top level athletes also on the spectrum, including myself.
If someone knocks at the door, I would rather not answer it. |

Dislike of telephones? You mean talking on the phone? I hate talking on the phone and would prefer to text instead. |

| Could my aspergers traits be worse than my employer (an autism counselor) thinks? She thinks I just have traits but I think it might be more than just traits. Can aspergers hide in the brain and not reveal itself? |

| I took a aspergers quiz and it said I scored 31 (32 and greater is ASD). 26-31 was boarder line aspergers. So would my score from the neuro diverse test reflect boarder line? What's the 200 mean in the "out of 200"? |
