Being about as high functioning of an Aspie type as it is possible to be and still be diagnosed as on the Spectrum - in the beginning I didn't know I could relate to the profound classical autistic. But it has become clear to me from reading the posting of classic autistics like our own little Einstein, EzraS that from the mildest Aspie or ASD Level 1 to the most profound nonverbal classic autistic we share the same basic neurology - it is only matters of degrees of the symptomology. We are the same tribe.

i would also say that no kind of autism is an illness of any sort. as much weaknesses as we have, we need to stop dwelling on them so much. we can either spend the rest of our lives moping about what coulda/woulda/shoulda been or we could put our autism to good use.


Those are the only two options?
