What does BAP mean? Borderline Autistic Presentation?
I feel half Aspie/half Kanner's. :/ |

| I think I know what you mean. For me I'm f*****g terrible at socializing with people in person. I have internet friends but only a few in-person friends. When it comes to socializing I've been lost ever since middle school gave me almost incurable social anxiety. ATP I've given up on socializing. I... |

| Many people here have friends they hang out with. But are there any aspies here, like me, who were born almost completely without the 'social gene'? Maybe 2% of the time I'll want to socialize, and then never for long. The rest of the time is spent completely isolated from others, even family. As if... |

Social games, huh? I guess that's why I don't flirt or have much of a comprehension of it. I hate social games. |

| The focus is on what a person might need help with. What you are good at--that you are free to pursue to the best of your ability. It's been like that my whole life, and I'm so fed up with it. It's like the disability is all that matters. This sounds like me... YAY family! The problem is we live in... |

Ability should be emphasized at least as much as disability.
Thank you, kraftiekortie. I don't know why this is considered taboo. |

| This is a mini-rant, brought to you by FedUpAsp. I'm fed up, frustrated, confused, disgusted, you name it. Why is it all right to be identified by your deficits but not your strengths? I am someone who is both disabled and has a high IQ (here we go again.) Yet, I am only identified by my disabilitie... |

| Are you sure you don't mean Oppositional Defiant Disorder? I've heard of it. I call BS on it being a legitimate disorder. It seems silly, at least to me.; 3 year olds will be 3 year olds, not listen, and have tantrums (as distinct from meltdowns.) I was never diagnosed with it myself. |

| Wow. My mom also thought I was autistic (not sure where she learned of it from) when I was an older child. No idea why she thought this, but at the time, Asperger's wasn't a diagnosis. Autism was still considered extremely rare and the doctors who saw me said I was not autistic because I could speak... |
