There MUST be different types of aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

There are no two aspies alike.

This is true, I've met plenty and am friends with a couple. And all of them are different, yes there are obviously similarities because we share the traits that require us to be classed as aspies but personality wise we are all unique.

When it comes to "types" of aspies I have a few categories I've noticed.
The "hollywood classic"-the classic stereotype that you would find in films, hence the name.
The "geek chic"- usually a female, the aspie you wouldn't suspect at first because they don't have the unusual gait or monotone voice that makes aspies visible. They usually have a group of friends.
The "autist artist"- the eccentric artist type. They are usually very talkative and passionate about their interests. They are usually creative and imaginative.
The "aspergian"- the type that is very positive about their aspiedom and tend to think themselves higher than "NT"s, are usually found on internet forums.
The "shy guy"- the type that's extremely quiet and hardly ever speaks. They are intelligent but people treat them like they're little kids.
The "hardcore aspie"- the one that is obviously disabled and sometimes had to go in special ed in school. They are like the hollywood classic but even MORE concentrated. They are usually quiet and don't have friends.

Yey, that's me

I'd say that I'm a cross between Geek Chic and Autist Artist. There are many subjects that I enjoy learning about as a hobby. Among which is fashion which creates window for fitting in. I'm also a big fan of illustration (and the history of), and cooking (and the science & history of the ingredients). I do read X-Men comics since I see them as a positive example of people who aren't genetically normal and how their gifts benefit the world.

I am in the middle. I don't want to be NT by any stretch of the imagination but I really hate that the theory of mind stuff messes me up pretty much on a daily basis. The only safe thing for me is to just not talk. I would like to at least be able to learn that I am just about always going to say the wrong thing.

I agree. The traits are similar but some people are happier in life, some are more social.

The traits of an AS person are a mix, some people have more extreme ones in one area and less extreme in another.

When I am with other autistic people, they seem more like me than nearly any NT I have ever met, though each one of them is very different.

What about the logic-oriented approach to Asperger's? Not necessarily scientists; but they approach things like scientists--looking for evidence; thinking concretely, not believing something before they've hauled in the facts. The kind of Aspie who will happily accuse the Emperor of public nudity.

I guess you could make up types of Aspies just like you can make up personality types, though--your types aren't hard and fast, they don't clump into groups, and they're more like separate traits than separate types.

Actually, that's probably exactly what it's like. Aspies have personalities that vary about the same way that NT personalities vary; and what your personality is affects quite deeply how you express your Asperger's. So, most likely, there's a combination or personality traits and autistic traits; and how they come together determines how your particular case looks.

Maybe it would make more sense to look at the intersection of autistic traits and personality traits, rather than trying to look at types. I don't think types really exist--there are just more or less common trait combinations.
