Autistic traits?

Post Reply New Topic

I'd like to know...
First I got diagnosed with NVLD, then I got told it was "high functioning autistic traits". When I went for the assessment, I didn't talk too loud, get preoccupied with parts of an object, and my eye contact wasn't completely terrible, so I didn't qualify for the full diagnosis, according to the psychologist that diagnosed/tested me. I apparently met the rest of the criteria, though. There was also the fact that I have a psychotic disorder (Schizoaffective disorder), so I couldn't be diagnosed with full autism. It was a private psychologist, and she didn't even write it down, she just wrote down that she confirmed the diagnosis of Schizoaffective.
But what I want to know is, what does "high functioning autistic traits" mean? It's obviously not a full diagnosis, so it confuses me. What's worse is that it isn't documented, and I can't afford to go back and have it documented. I guess it's helpful that myself, and my grandma, who was in the room when the psychologist told us about how I have autistic traits, at least know. My grandma thought I had Asperger's for years before I was diagnosed Schizoaffective.

This seems to be a relatively good list of characteristics.

Thanks for the link, Robin! I can relate to a lot of that. I suppose I do have "autistic traits".
