Asp-Z's is still the most accurate.

I would not say stages of aspergers. I would say stages of social development. at least something along those lines. because no matter which stage I will always be the same. I just learn a little bit more each time. (often incomplete ideas during depressive stages)

Honestly, yes, I agree. A person with a missing ear doesn't grow it back. That missing ear makes you unique, you can look at it positively or negatively.

However this is not an accurate example as a missing ear has no benefits and Asperger's Syndrome does.

I have no real issues fitting in and with quirks, people are used to them. Nobody's worried, they worry I'm bisexual but my quirks are fine.

By definition (so to speak) AS is a life long set of behaviours... All we do is adapt to the changes we have to make. At least, that s what I do... Unlike peti-mal epilepsy (which I used to have badly, but it turned out the fits were stress related, so I left shcool) you cannot grow out of AS...

I've noticed myself with less than traits than before though, I don't freak out as much if a clock has the wrong time or wrong dates on the board, in fact I can't be bothered with it anymore. 2 years and I'm better there.

Or better: there is no such thing as "stages" of Asperger's Syndrome, everyone is different, plain and simple.

I was certainly stage 1 at school because I wasn't trying to act normally, I was completely in my head. These days I am more conscious but it is very hard to fit in. I do try even though it doesn't look like it most of the time. I don't believe AS is something that can be grown out of.

According to that scale, I'm in between 1 and 2. I try to have empathy and consider others in my decisions, and I'm ok at that, but I certainly don't try to be normal.

And, if I may add to my post last night, I don't think anyone can ever cease to have aspergers.

Stage 3: You have a complete emotional breakdown from exhaustion
Stage 4: You stop trying to act like anything you're not, realizing survival is of greater importance than being thought normal.
Stage 5: You accept that you have AS and it is a permanent condition, and you begin the process of learning how to better accommodate your needs even if you would prefer not to have special needs.

at least, these are the stages of becoming aware of having AS as an adult, as i see it.


YEEEEP, been there, done that.

Actually, I guess everyone with AS goes through different stages of AS.

Stage K - you learn to be yourself more completely; integrate your sense impressions, emotions, mind and body more (peace)fully; you know mainly how to conduct yourself among other people; you still have autism, you're still a bit awkward, but it's only a problem very occasionally.

Autism is not a process, and i'm hesitant to say a way of life, Autism is something we have to live with. Personally i'm a near nihilistic misanthrope recluse with some old fashioned outlooks on life, we should not obsess over autism, I try to live my life not worry about what i maybe classified as, but my goals and plans for the future. If look for false hope, then we will end up disappointed, we must look at reality for what it is. What is real is that we have Autism, and we have to persevere over it no matter how pervasive it may be.
