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

Post Reply New Topic

It's like reading a horoscope for me, I think I can relate to bits and pieces of each one, or at least to all the ones I read. Not sure if that means there is something wrong with the catagories, or that some people don't fit into those categories.

I am probably closest to innocent/passive rule, but I also have a lot of the emotion characteristics as well, especially as a child.

Some mix between The Emotional child, The Logic child, and The rational-dependent child

No plug - I'm just pointing out the commercial origins of these "subtypes". If anyone else had read the entire page and sought out the source of what was presented, they would have seen it too.

I'm too mixed to choose. I'm emotional, rule, and logic. My logic side is always arguing with the emotional side. I love daydreaming but there's always a logical side knowing that I could never leave this world for a fantasy one. I find many rules to be stupid and illogical but I have to follow them, even if I hate it. Etc etc etc

I would be a blend of the Logic and Emotion (ADHD/OCD/Fantasy) types. As a child, I also met the "criteria" of the Rule type, in the aspect that I didn't want anyone to be mad at me, but I didn't respect many authority figures, and only put my "Logic" (demanding explanation/analysis) part aside as a defense mechanism in response to the abuse I experienced.

Is there a test for this?

Here's the regular Aspie quiz i think:

For a sub type, there are different definitions of each the Rule, Logic, Emotion types

Here's a link to a article on Logic type

Here is a link to Structure-Dependent (Rules type?)

Here's a blog that mentions 8 possible subtypes:

(it's a blog so it's an opinion not fact of the 8 types)

The Emotion Fantasy type all the way. I was very oblivious for quite a while.......

Still intersting.

I'm the Spielberg Type
"A sociable, sporty, extroverted aspie with average IQ but poor spelling and grammar."
I like talking to ppl, eventhough I was a very quiet child, I don't do much sport, but I loooove snowboarding, my IQ is above average, but I had dyslexia as a child. I know this is not the typical autistic clichée this type.

Edit: there is an example of the Spielberg Type (he is a lot more extreme than I am):

But I'm also a bit that:
Morrissey Type
"A unique, artistic and creative aspie who feels separated from people and is possibly schizophrenic. These people don't fit in well with society and often feel alien or like they belong in a different time period."
Well I'm not schizophrenic but I write poems, am a daydreamer. But I can get thoughts close to paranoia when I had a trauma and also psychotic like symptoms. But I'm not even schizotypal, but maybe some traits, would also fit with my Bipolar, but nothing enough to dx something else in addition. So just Bipolar and ASD.

Would the Emotion type be more associated with having empathy?

We hear a lot have lack of empathy, does anyone know which subtypes have the trait or is it random?

"Subtypes of Aspergers"
Why?
Does personality type have anything to do with aspergers at all?
The types are simply human variations, - with or without Aspergers.

no sources for the last two of five?
not logical.
categories based upon resemblance to individuals famous for their uniqueness?
that does not compute.
might as well do as i did (once) & allow INTJs (as "scorpio") to have the "pluto scorpio", "lunar scorpio" & "neptune scorpio" variations. (yo ho ho)
at least jung was working from describable function--albeit a priori ones.

see also: pareidolia

why are all these articles talking about this or that boy? If they are supposed to be subtypes of AS/ASD, tehn should they not be talking about children? Or are females just not on the spectrum at all? *sighs*

The fantasy subtype reminds me of myself.



Also the anxiety one.

Rules ==> guidelines
Emotions ==> sweet indulgences
Logic is King ! (especially my logic)
