Question if you can have ASD without sensory issues, etc

Post Reply New Topic

I have history of deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, ranging, for example, from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions.


I also have history of deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, ranging, for example, from poorly integrated verbal and nonverbal communication; to abnormalities in eye contact and body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal communication and deficits in developing, maintaining, and understand relationships, ranging, for example, from difficulties adjusting behavior to suit various social contexts; to difficulties in sharing imaginative play or in making friends; to absence of interest in peers.



I had all of these issues from my early to late childhood.


I started to develop social skills when I turned thirteen years old and I also started to study psychology and did all kind of IQ related tests, including social-emotional tests

I am now very good at reading and understanding, emotions, facial cues, body languages.


But I still have problems with social-emotional reciprocity, ranging, for example, from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interactions.



I an nineteen years old.


I had this problem for nineteen years.


for nineteen years, I would only talk about things that fitted my specific subjects of interest, often manifesting as a borderline obsession with a few areas and/or hobbies.





I used to have severe communication delays, severe case of Prosopagnosia, learning disorders, borderline intellectual functioning, speech delay, bizarre interests, delusions, hallucinations, painful sensory issues and self-injury behaviors from my early childhood.


I also was violent and aggressive if my routine changed when I was a young child.

I know that Autistic people don't want connection between Autism and violence, but there is a difference between attacking someone who scared you, compare to planned violence.


I was so scared as a child if my routine changed, that is why I acted it violence

What result do you get on the AQ-50?
I ask becasue the AQ-10 is so limited.

Though to be honest it sounds to me a lot like you have ASD but have learnt a few work-arounds as you got to adulthood. Which is very common.

Thank you!

I agree.


It makes sense

I feel like i've explained to you multiples time that you can.

Thank you!

I understood
