Severe AS

Post Reply New Topic

My Asperger's Disorder is severe. Someone used to harm me daily because of it. I am logical to the point of seeming psychopathic. Someone was in love with me and we were friends but I decided to end it, the friendship. I said, "I'm not your friend anymore and I never want to talk to you ever again." I then walked away. I didn't feel guilty and I don't. I knew that people spend days worrying about how to end a friendship without causing emotional scars on either person. I was suprised when someone confronted me about what I'd done. They said she was upset. I couldn't understand this, because why would someone get upset over me? There's nothing special about me.

I have met a few at a support group. Very painful because they are very smart but extreme trouble with eye contact, communication, and stuttering. Very kind and smart people.

I am mild AS or very LFNT! Low functioning NT

I look at the WHOLE spectrum all the way to NT because there are a whole lot of us who are not easily dxed.

Think of a Bell Curve. The left side is the autism spectrum, with the extreme being someone stereotyped like Rain Man. . The right is NT. with the extreme being someone like, oh.....Jesus? Well, there are a bunch of us who may sqeek by the left but fall into the curve on the left side. I am very very very low functioing in the NT world and have been called weird more than I can say. But on the AuT side, I am totally high functioning, so much so that I have had those comments like Who dxed you? Do you have ASP? I would never know!

So it's totally confusing. I am convinced that someone would have to be with me all day and night for a few months to give a proper dx.

yes i have, he had a very high verbal iq, was extremely smart, think he prob had an IQ range from 130-140 but couldnt take care of himself at all, his anxiety and ocd was so bad it controlled his life, and his anger made him isolated from everybody and he basically needed assistance with a lot, and all of his conversations with one sided and one way... and yes with every diagnosis there can be a mild side, moderate side, or severe side.
