Difference between aspies as great as aspie and NT ..?

Post Reply New Topic

If you are an aspie and meet another aspie in IRL. Do you feel the person is as different to you as an NT is ..?

I have, and yes. Every Aspie I've seen is different to other Aspies. Could it be it's just the label that sees all Aspies the same way, but it's not true to reality?

I meant more like if aspies differs more than an aspie differs from general NT population.

How is one meant to know/measure it?... I just mentioned I think the differences between Aspies are great, but you can't really count it and compare it to the difference between AS and NT.

i am more like musical NT's than technical aspies. depends on the aspie and the NT.

Social interaction cues and other quirks. Interests etc..

Well, I have almost zero interests in common with Aspies I've met, I probably have more interests in common with other NTs... on the other hand, I think that on the internet I might be closer in interests to other Aspies, so... I'm not sure what that says.

Social interactions - more or less the same as other Aspies. Less than NTs

cues - I'm more spaced out at times other Aspies aren't, so I probably miss some cues they don't. But I sometimes see/understand cues they don't. I actually consider myself being able to read people better than some NTs. So I'm more like an Aspie but a little more sensitive.

quirks - similar to other AS, more quirky than NTs.

So from what I know, Aspies are more similar to each other according to CosTransform's criterias.

Sometimes. I've also met people who I've identified with intensely without knowing why (this was long before I knew anything about AS).
