But now I'm curious.

Oh, hello!

I noticed you're diagnosed AS. I thought you were HFA. Maybe I didn't remember correctly.

What might be deleted, and why ?

I guessed that the thread was not something offensive as such a thread would be locked to prevent further posting or made to vanish without trace.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Uh oh - forgot the quote part above, but close enough. Anyway, about the question: I am technically DX'd as HFA but I have much overlap with AS. Then, later, another diagnostician said, AS applies too. But then, HFA is better indicated (different diagnostican) and I think, personally, HFA is more true. Both are adequate diagnostically - choose one.
The dilineation between AS & HFA can be blurry. Hence the discrepency. DSM-IV TR for me is written code 299.00_Autistic Disorder (high-functioning).

But good question sgrannel and you remembered correctly. And I still don't know what OP means. Stereokid isn't revealing either. Curious and curiouser!

About sgrannel's question, related: I think Wrong Planet just has AS (diagnosed), then 'Other Autism Spectrum Disorder,' and that's quite inclusive! HFA is roughly equivalent to AS, sort of.

Has all the attention and speculation re-affirmed your self-worth? :lol:
