How on earth do you answer that kind of question?! I can go from chatting happily with friends one minute to crying and screaming then next! ;)

I am undiagnosed (although people have told me I should be tested) but I sometimes wonder whether I have it at all since I don't have the social awkwardness beyond a TOTAL inability to look people in the eye. Oh and I don't really have REAL non virtual friends - they phone and I make excuses so I can play with my computer music and stuff. And all through school, for no good reason, I just excluded myself from all groups. Even the geeks.

And when I do look at the other traits and I think YES, THIS IS ME!! Routine, patterns, numbers, solitude, pedantry, general strangeness. So I don't know.

Is it possible to be an aspie who can look like they "fit in". I mean I know that is really, but is it possible to no really mind social situations...but just not seek them out and try to avoid them?

ASD behavior in social situations tends to fall into three categories: social avoidance, apathy, and social akwardness.

Depends if I'm home or in public. I've been a "practicing NT" for decades. :lol:
Very mild AS in public.

I'm more relaxed and "me" at home.

Never pretend to be a NT. I shall never surrender. *Gets M16 and runs off to log cabin in the woods.*

Try and get me now Mr Federal government! I will die before the CIA force me to conform consume and obey!

My "practicing NT" years were the 4 decades before I ever even heard of AS. I don't consciously pretend now. It's some kind of automatic "alter ego" that appears when I leave the house. :wink:

Yes. The more the merrier. The more feds we kill the greater our freedom. Just need another Oklahoma bombing and Columbine, but in the UK. Then the revolution begins. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Yeah, and what shining examples of human achievement those events were. I've seen singlemindedness before, but you've got a real knack for being able to completely disregard decency and morality for kicks.

I am sorry. But I am just saying that slowly society will break down and violence shall erupt from every orifous in the country. Teenagers will turn on their bullies with guns and vigilantes will blow the bombs. The people will be scared and confused. In their anger they will demand help from the government, but they will refuse. And then the revolution begins. That is why I say we need another Columbine and Oklahoma bombing in the UK for revolution. Not for my sick kicks. I just want revolution. I do not want those things to occur, but it will occur someday and then the revolution begins. *Cocks M16.*
