What Sub Type of Aspergers do you have or are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I think it's not that easy to answer.

I'm a mixture out of logic and emotional.
When I got a trauma in a psychiatric hospital, I turned towads the shrinks in this hospital in a "paranoid" guy and that's nearly immossible to treat for someone who has no autism experience. But it turned out well, because I met a shrink there I knew from somewere else and were I didn't have this paranoia. So I was towards him mostly the logic type.

So it's possible to "swich" between those types. In my case because of a trauma.

By the way, I think the subtypes are neat, but pretty much everything else in their book is crap. It's all 'how to emotionally abuse the autism out of your kid'.

As a kid, I was more the emotion/anxiety type-- and I see the same thing in my beloved 5yo son.

As an adult, I'm the logic/rational-dependent type with a dash of the emotional little girl I was thrown in.

A lot of the rational-dependent is an attempt to control the anxiety. It works, sort of. Prozac helps. I love logic. And Prozac.

That company does sound a bit sketchy, and I do realize that the subtypes listed are not recognized by any authoritative organization. They also seem a bit simplistic.

Having said that, I am most assuredly of the logical type. In fact, just about the only thing that upsets me is behavior or situations which do not make logical sense to me (which unfortunately happens all too frequently.) In those situations, I can get very emotional indeed.

I'm in the logic category

I'm with the Fnord/Stoek faction* on this one....

The source material for this concept is questionable at best, and really should'nt be considered creditable. Even the APA, with whom I have differences, does'nt subscribe to this sort of model.

I'd question if this thread drives up the google results for this "concept", but I doubt anyone buys it anyway.

* Probably the first and only time this faction exists

i'm the angry, anxiety, fantasy, adhd, and ocd type, all emotional.

I was a rule child. I don't remember rebelling against rules. I would hear the rules and follow them. Plus mom told me I needed rules or else I wouldn't know how to act and I would act up because it would be all chaos for me. So she had to make them up for me so I can behave and things would be structured and calm for me because I knew how to act and what to expect.


Only time I ever remember rebelling against the rule is when our 4th and 5th grade teacher made us do answer columns on the side when we do math problems. They didn't want us putting our answers under the problems. We had to number them and put the numbers on the side so the teacher would know what the answer is to which problem we did. I didn't like it because it was different and I liked it the old way so I didn't obey the rule. Then when I realized it made it too difficult to read your own answers, I saw it felt that way for the teacher too so I started to do the answer columns like everyone else. I also remember asking why to everything and I hated "because I said no" and "just because" so I would do it anyway just to see what would happen.

I believe I would mostly be the logical angry variety but could be anything else depending on the particular moment. I love ASD astrology

Er, none of them? I was never aware that such sub-types existed. probably because they don't...

I think I'm a logic boy, and this is what I've always been. I don't like rules, to be honest. I stick to my customs though, and appreciate structure, too.
