Which aspie trait you don't have?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel empathy
I can handle change in routine without problems
I understand sarcasm and metaphors.

<--- Doesn't have a monotone voice.
<--- Can lie if necessary also he doesn't like to.
<--- Makes eye contact. Never did as a youngster, though. Either that was because of autism or because he was abused so much that making eye contact got him beat up.

Some are very mild but I have all of those autistic traits.

I don't have a fair few of them.

I have trouble to control intonation in my main language (french) and can feel empathy only with people with similar traits.

I have most of these to some degree. I tend to actually be very expressive with my voice, but to the point where it has some kind of strange tune.
I can be monotonous though, especially in public.

I chose special interests. While not technically accurate, I don't seem to have them to anywhere near the intensity of a lot people here.

I don't have doesn't show empathy and I don't have a monotone voice.

I don't have a bunch of them.

I always get metaphors
I only have some trouble with sarcasm
I'm not clumsy at all
I'm good at non-team sports
I don't have a monotonous voice
I do have trouble with cognitive empathy, yet no trouble with emotional empathy, so I guess that sort of applies

Yet I have a lot of trouble in other areas.

I've only been able to get sarcasm and metaphors in relatively late adulthood.

I don't have a monotone voice--though I might have had one as a child.

I had lots of trouble with empathy until recently.

I don't get devastated when changes in routines occur--but I feel uneasy.

I only have mild sensory issues--they were worse when I was a young child.

I don't do that great with eye contact, though I do better as an older man.

I have all of those traits except I have plenty of empathy...perhaps too much.

I have a LOT of aspie issues... hmmm, I've never really been that clumsy. I've never had monotone, but I find it nigh impossible to control my volume. I speak very very softly OR very very loudly when I'm talking about something intense or that i like.

I'm perfectly fine with eye contact- in fact I make too much eye contact sometimes.( and sometimes I do this on purpose to weird people out XD)
I HATE lying, but do it a lot because people get mad when I don't lie- so annoying.

I can handle change just fine, but I do much much better with a solid routine that I follow as much as possible- but rarely do that because I get so much flack for it.

Also, I'm very good with metaphors and sarcasm- I like both very much : ) but tend not to use them as much anymore.

I used to have a monotone voice which was noted by several teachers growing up, but I have since variation in my voice after assimilating countless hours of speech from television and movies. I don't think I was ever particularly clumsy, though I do have poor hand eye coordination which led to being shunned in gym class during school. I can understand metaphors as well as any NT. I have difficulty detecting sarcasm in others but can use it effectively myself.

I understand sarcasm and metaphor. I am a writer of fiction and I use metaphors all the time. I not only understand sarcasm, I can give out a sarcastic remark with the best of them. I have empathy and understand how people feel. I was quite good at sports when I was younger.
