Where on the spectrum do you think you are?

Post Reply New Topic

I was diagnosed with AS when I was 13.

I think I'm HFA. My parents say I was a late speaker. For many years in early school I took speech classes. Besides that I have Asperger syndrome symptoms.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers with moderate severity. So I guess that puts me as somewhat high functioning but no doubt autistic.

I like the way the aspie quiz is a multi-dimensional spectrum. In some aspects I am high functioning and in others I am moderate.

I think I would classify on the low end of high functioning if that makes any sense.

Between high functioning and mid functioning, leaning to mid functioning.


I'm only labeled as high functioning due to my initial diagnosis of aspergers, having enough passing skills, low maintenance support levels, and even lack of significant comorbidity.

In reality, I just have a really good compensating skills, work arounds, and figuring my-inconsistent-self out. Still catching up on my age.

If I am on the spectrum, I'd obviously be pretty high functioning. I've always assumed that I'd be level 1 if I were to be diagnosed, since I made it all the way to my early twenties without really realizing I had some of the signs of autism (well, I did kind of start to feel like I was a bit different around my preteens, but I didn't think that much of it at that point and definitely didn't know anything about Asperger's/high functioning autism). And nobody ever thought there was anything wrong with me as a kid (other than just thinking I was really shy). But I've actually had two different people on here tell me that I sound almost exactly like them and have had really similar experiences. Both of them got a diagnosis late in life, but were actually diagnosed as level 2. So I don't know...it might depend on how well I do when I actually move out of my parents' house and try to make it on my own.
