Have you already read those articles? What type are you closest to? I'm a logic boy. (even though logic forces me to write that I should have rather wrote: logic girl ).

Many many years ago I was Innocent/Passive Boy although in my teenage years I was more like Logic Boy. That was all still a very long time ago.

I'm now the overwhelmingly brilliant and wonderful iceb Girl

That sites has some annoying ads.

"Predominately Fantasy" seems the best single fit.

I guess "Predominately Fantasy" is a subset of "The Emotion Boy".

Doesn't it just!

Well, I used to be JUST like logic boy! I am less demanding about reasons, etc... now.

Yes, I don't understand; why are they all boys.

And who invented these subtypes? I've read the works of several leading experts in the field of Aspergers and I have never come across this level of detailed breakdown into so many so-called 'subtypes'

OCD and ADHD are sepeperate diagnoses in their own right and not subtypes of aspergers as listed here.

The only recognised sub-categories relating to people with AS that I know of are the three types of autistic behaviours: Aloof, Passive, Odd.

Apparently while people with AS can exhibit a mix of these behaviours most will tend towards one as the predominant behaviour style.

I have some routines and personal rules, and I'm smarter than the average NT (my IQ is 135), but there aren't my main traits. I think I'm "The Emotion Boy" (although I'm a girl), a mix of "Predominately Fantasy" with "Angry/Resistant Boy".

Sometimes I have the desire of killing something or someone, burn and destroy things, but that desires are not too strong for tag me as "Paranoid Boy".

I have fantasized since I can remember, but when I was small, I was more like "The Logic Boy". According to my mom, I was always behind her making questions about different topics (she said sometimes I annoyed her with my questions), that was the reason I could read at 4.

"Emotion girl", apparently (by the way, what's that gender-based discrimination there all about?;) ) - the "predominantly fantasy" subtype, with some traits of the "predominantly AD(H)D" subtype thrown in as well.

'Emotion Girl', 'Logic Boy'!

Makes us all sound like super heros

I'd say I'm about equal parts fantasy and anxiety.

They missed the following categories:

Tall
Short
Overweight
Underweight
Right weight

Weird categories. Most/All of them fit me.

Though I used to be more Logic Boy, and have slipped more towards Emotion Boy.

I'm mainly a Logic Girl with a lot of the features of the OCD-subtype of "Emotion Boy" thrown in.

anxiety and fantasy

runt boy here

I would be a combination of "paranoid boy" and "negative boy", (even though I am a girl).
I would have to say that I am mostly "negative boy".
