I've been thinking about this, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm a very nerdy and eccentric NT. I don't think I'm an aspie because I can communicate to well, I can read body language but I just don't have much experience. However, I do not wish to play the social game.

But I like aspies greatly, because of their eccentricity, honesty, and other great qualities. I would like to stay here so I can have friends since little of the people in real life are interesting to me.

Be my guest. Asperger's and non-Asperger's certainly aren't absolutes: they're just terms used to describe different types of behaviour. It's all a spectrum. Be prepared for some of the more sectarian forum members to demand your burning at the stake, though. :D

Don't worry impeachgod, one day we will have a cure for your condition. Until then, at least you seem able to pass for somewhat normal as you are very high functioning for an NT :wink:

You're absolutely welcome as long as you doesn't become one of the NTs who claim to have AS just to be different.
As long as you're honest by your NT-ness, you have at least MY acceptance.

Its good to see that we aspies aren't the only one who don't want to conform to stupid social codes and "cramped socialization".

I wonder about myself too. I can communicate very well in writing but not as well spoken; I can read body language but I don't know how to react to what I am sensing.

Just change your profile to "not sure if I have it or not." :D

I would guess there is more like 10-20% members that are family members of aspies and then there is about another third who have traits and think they are likely aspie but may not be (its possible that could be me :? I have not had a Dx). It could be only 50% are actually AS.

Welcome, aspie is scientificaly defined by taking a course mesh, and passing the sample through it, then finer and finer meshes, the last only passes water, air, and aspies. They have some of the qualities of water and air, so do water and air.
