How strong is your aspergers syndrome?

Post Reply New Topic

I was just curious how strong most people have aspergers. I dont think there's any more to say.

I havent got it that strong. but people still think i'm wierd.

I'd say medium...probably the low side of medium, though, and my AS manifests itself in the more easily hideable ways, so most people don't even know something's wrong with me until I tell them

I think one of the reasons people dont notice it is that hardly anyone knows about it.

no, people generally notice somethings wrong if I let the NT act slip a bit, whether they know about AS or not

If I rephrased the question, "How strong is you
HFA" I would say I am borderline PDD-NOS(40%)
and HFA(60%).

I don't have a freaking clue "how" AS or PDD-NOS I am.

PDD-NOS has traits that contain
minimal learning disability!

PDD-NOS has traits that contain a
minimal "I think thus verbalize how
I think"(HFA) or "I think thus not verbalize
it since it isn't as important?" (AS)

I as HFA verbalize my thoughts and even
get "Huh?" from you folks! thus HFA!

There are other ways to explain this
but I hope this helps!

So what constitutes to having a diagnoses of PDD-NOS? a milder form of autism only with less learning disability? can it be applied to someone who has AS traits but not all in the criteria?

Probably a lot stronger than my tiger style or praying mantis

I think mine is on the stronger side of medium. I do not know.

It's pretty well concealed to most except in extreme conditions. I usually have to tell people I have it before they notice. But there are some strong tendencies.

Yes, a milder form of AS, and maybe some
learning diasability(or a mixture or Autism
and AS). This is implied based on
2 books I have been reading!

Then you're probably not at the mildest end of the spectrum. The reasoning for that conclusion is that people who are at the mildest edge of the spectrum are going to have a harder time deciding whether or not an AS diagnosis applies, and are therefore more likely to have given it a great deal of thought (assuming they're aware of AS in the first place). People who are more obviously Aspie are presumably less likely to consider their exact placement because a shift one way or the other won't change the diagnosis.

Well, I get all of the social inability without any of the savantness, so I guest I'm middle.

I have most of the traits of aspergers, and i have them very profoundly. When i was reading up on the symptoms I saw a bunch of seemingly totally unrelated qualities about me just SCREAM out. The only trait i don't have is i am not a clean freak, infact just the opposite, my room looks like a rats nest. But I can find anything in here. If i drop something there is a predictable way in which it will move over time. Kind of like the jet stream.

In retrospect in my life, so many of my problems and my quirks and the way i relate to other people would have been so obviously explained if i knew i had AS.

But i developed socially pretty well. My father has no real respect for authority and only lives in this world by obligation. So very early on i got the support to march by my own drum. So i was just the weird kid in class, and i got a lot of popularity just by being weird. Practically EVERYONE in the whole high school knew me.
