Being NT and Aspie at the same time.

Post Reply New Topic

Sup. My moods; they change. I feel normal, better than normal; half the time. But when the stress kicks in, i become entangled in...something abnormal. It's so completely outrageous that I've felt like I was going to die. But, regardless, when I'm on point I'm AWESOME

Balance?

f**k!

Mood swings?

I alter between feeling slightly energetic to mentally exhausted in minutes, sometimes seconds.

This is why I feel like "ASPIE", is a lack of focus on how to act...

Which is why we're awesome.

I'm the same way. I feel like an NT when things are going so well and then I feel like an aspie when things don't go so well. I show traits off and on, that's what my mother means by I don't have AS all the time.
I'm borderline but had AS often enough to actually get the diagnoses because it was the closest match since I am on the spectrum. But it's gotten better though in the last 12 years.

yes but if u are on spectrum they label as an aspie

I'm NT when I'm alone, but throw in someone else to factor in, and I'm back to the usual...

None of you lose AS but I think I comprehend your meaning.
I am much calmer when alone or with friends but my symptoms don't disappear.
When alone I either do homework or fixate on a special interest Aspergers, sci-fi, previously human biology.
and yes one of my special interests is AS
When with friends I am still somewhat socially blind though not as bad as i used to be I also have no concept of personal space though that might be NLD not AS

Heck yes . . .

I have stretches of time where I forget the difficulty I have (ALWAYS HAD!) with socializing. I think its because my job relates to my interest area, and socializing when it has the "script" of my job I sail through. But socializing outside of my interest script (or if I am under general emotional stress), ASD kicks in full force.

I wouldn't say that I'm not being aspie when I'm acting 'normal', as that is implying that my aspie 'side' is only the bad side; which sounds pretty depressing.
