I feel like an aspie but I'm not sure I'm one

Post Reply New Topic

I watched some of the videos posted in the other thread. I look nothing like the people in those videos. I also don't talk the way they talk. My mannerisms, speech patterns and facial expressions are very NT in comparison.

Yet I still feel like an aspie. Is it possible that I am affected by a very very mild case of AS? I scored 126/200 in the Aspie Quiz. What does this tell you?

Aspies don't necessarily lok or talk a given way. NTs don't either!

the only way to be sure is to see a specialist,someone who specialises in ASD and in ASD adults [if adult] if possible.
it is possible to have mild aspergers,as long as it fits minimum criteria,anything less and it's not AS,usually then are just described as 'being on the spectrum' or 'has some mild ASD traits'.
all forms of autism have compulsory criteria,but after that-it's unique to each person,so not every expression of ASD is the same.

what traits do have [whether think they are part of the spectrum or not].

KingdomOfRats, I replied to you in this thread:

I scored under 100 in that aspie quiz I get confused sometimes but my phychiatrist said I have a very mild case of Asperger Syndrome which and that it only comes out when I am stressed or something otherwise I behave like an NT.

It could be possible that you have a very mild case of AS, or you may have AS or not fit the criteria at all.

I have watched the videos of people with AS also and although I have formal diagnosis of AS i don't think I behave like them either, but I guess it depends on how the rest of the world sees me.

Anyway, the only way to know if you have AS for sure is to go and see an ASD specialist and they will diagnose you with it, or without it. No one on this forum can tell you if you have it or not.

What thread where the videos in please?, as I have similar uncertainties.
