Do you act aspieish?

Post Reply New Topic

How aspieish do you act from a 1 to 10 scale? 1 acting fully neurotypical. 10 acting fully aspie.

NT Nt/AS AS

Pick a number?

I've been feeling a little aspieish lately so I'd go with 8. I'm a non conformist what can I say.

Hmmm. I would say a 8-9, but is a good way, of course. I own my Aspieness, it's comfortable for me to live in 95% of the time. I'm even OK with my social awkwardness - I consider it part of my "coloring" and have long learn to not take myself so seriously. I don't hide the fact that I prefer being alone or with my cats, that "normal" things like romantic entanglements or Desperate Housewives don't interest me, and that I've rather wierd with my assortments of quirks and obsessions.

If an NT were to gauge me, I bet they'd say a 4 or 5, because I "pass" as someone who's fairly normal yet a littel standoffish and odd. Interestingly, I've found that NTs don't see me as AS because I don't strike them as dysfunctional (even though AS is suppose to be a high functioning condition). They often seem mystified that I am so comfortable with myself.

I would say about a 7. My social awkwardness definitely shines through, and I spend much of my "me" time perseverating. But on the other hand, I feel that emotionally and intellectually, I'm more along the lines of what is seen as the norm for an NT. I can empathize, I can do small talk, and I can appreciate the things that NTs consider to be fun, plus I'm hardly a "brain". Still, there's no denying my Aspieness.

Most days a 7, although when I have a breakdown like I did this morning, 10.

I act at about a 4 in public, about a 7 when I'm at home my parents are around, and about a 9 when I'm completely alone. I always feel like a 9, though.

I act more like a 7.5 when I am not tired. When I am tired, and strangely ehough when I was taking that ADHD med my shrink wanted me to try, a 10.

In public 6, because I stim in public. Just around friends and family I'm probably 7-8.

In public 2.5, with close friends 8, alone 10.

Anywhere from 2 to 6 in public, though I am NT.

Between 5 and 8, depending on the situation.

I'd say I'm 6, maybe 7 when around other people, and probably 9 or 10 when I'm home alone (which is a lot.) When I get stressed my public beavior will rapidly degrade however. It happens at work sometimes; that's when I go sit in the restroom with the lights off for a while to refocus.

In public I hope 5 (most likely 7), with family and friends I hope 5 (most likely 7), alone I am a 9.

^_^.

8 in the right situation. 10 normally.

Oh well; you're an aspie at heart.

Anyways, I am probably around a 7 or 8 most of the time, except I'm thought of as an NT (or a 5) by most because, one I'm a girl, and I've read that girl aspies tend to know the social world a little more than guys do. And two, I could make small talk. Yet, I still like spending time alone because of my misunderstanding of the social world, and I don't like being around people for hours on end. I tend to appear awkward, a prude (nerd), and a person who has a huge imagination and thinks up all this weird stuff (my mom says that my favorite quote is probably "what if..."). I act aspieish, and that's because I'm an aspie. But, I do look like a neurotypical because of my ability to socialise a little bit. I could also read faces pretty decent, but sometimes I can't express them on my own face, and I don't look into people's eyes a lot. I sometimes don't get some analogies and take them literally, and lots of the time I spend time alone and don't get some social cues. Another thing is that I'm commonly misunderstood because of my word choice, and lots of the time I ask for something or ask a question and then a person gives me this answer that was totally not what I was looking for.

hmmm.. i never manage to act fully NT.

I can manage a 3 when i'm around people I like and are comfortable with.

I'd put myself on a 5 in public

To my family I would be a 6 or 7

Alone - 8

One of my stims is a particulary painful one and am always getting told off for doing it, so I try to minimise it around people.

My thoughts are always around 8.
