AS/HFA: The difference

Post Reply New Topic

That term HAS been used to describe ME when I am daydreaming, not paying attention, or acting reclusive. Bear in mind my family, freinds, and teachers considered me a shy NT.

If someone is mentally ret*d, or showed no sign of intelligence, such a statement would not make sense.

Sorry to bring an old post up but I just wanted to say this is very much how I experience these things as well. I can in writing 'verbalise' things better than speaking, my writing seems to come out linear (left-brained) but my thinking and my speech isn't. I can very much indentify with what you say about doing things silently or subconsciously. My brain seems to have "matured" over time so that now and then I get a glimpse of how to do things more consciously. At first I thought that was what I wanted, but I have realised over time that I cannot function like this in the long run, and have learned how to allow myself to function more sub/unconsciously again. My brain is thankful for that.
