How high-functioning do you consider your Asperger Syndrome?

Post Reply New Topic

I also gave myself a 9, if the scale would have decimals, i'd say 9.5-9.7

The only problem I really have today is eye contact, I can only really look people in the eyes if I trust them or know them well enough. Meltdowns are really rare (I only get them when lots of stuff that needs taken care of piles up, not really in social gatherings anymore)

Other than that, I live by myself, getting along with friends and i'm on the dream path to become a computer scientist.

6-7 or so, socially. But that's my self-evaluation.

I feel me low-functioning.

Id give myself between 7 and 8.

Because someone who doesnt know I have it won't notice it at all; but will think I'm acting dumb from time to time (cuz I don't get expressions and stuff) But I know I have it and I am socially weird and it affects my grades a bit and I can feel that I'm thinking differently than the person opposite me, even though we react the same. But no one cares about the friends I have nor the grades I have. And no ones in my head so they can't tell.

i said 8...but that's only on a good day.
some days i feel closer to 6...and my bad days feel like a 5 or less....

I gave myself a ¨7¨.

Once I get to know a person, I'm always eager to socialize with them.
However, unfamiliar situations and people make me uncomfortable, and I do have a good deal of meltdowns per week.
I am good at recognizing people I don't know from school at school, so I have the ability to strike up a conversation with semi-strangers.

I used to be very high functioning, but I've declined in the last couple of years. I put a 4.

is one good or bad?
i think im slightly above average in i.q. (i have 130) so i guess im like 8 or 9 maybe? im not ten because that would be those kids who are way smarter then normal but im slightly above average.

Idk. I'm used to there being the three levels of autism, and stuff. I put 7 because I'm diagnosed with level 1 autism and 7 is as close to two thirds as I could get.

I'm totally independent, married, have job, drive, etc.

I gave myself a 7. If I were a 10, I'd be successful at least on a "middle management" level. I'm just a clerk.

I used to be a 6. I used to have frequent meltdowns so bad they would take me out of class and have a designated friend also leave class to calm me down. Nobody could decide if I was very intelligent or ret*d.

Now I am an 8. I can present quite well for short periods, but begin to crack for any prolonged amount of time.
I even have a management position leading a large group of people. I struggle in that position, but manage to succeed by being a broken record and repeating the same comfortable dialog to each person under me. I almost never have to talk to someone for more than 15 minutes at a time, so my presenting facade holds up most of the time.

Roleplaying helped immensely.

This question is a bit confusing. Cause one could be pretty high functioning when it comes to sensory input or something but then severely affected when it comes to emotions or social interactions. And it can change from day to day.

My therapist asked me this question once. I categorized it and said this:
Sensory: severe
Social: mild
Emotions: moderate to severe depending on the day

I'd say an 8.75. But there isn't a decimal option, so I'll just put 9.

I would say I'm a 9. I don't handle social situations to well. But I've been consistently employed since I was 16, and I've been able to stay away from having to move back in with my parents since I first moved out at 18. I also own a car, that I can drive.
