On this latest one, I got 'NAE', which means what, precisely?
On EQ I got 6, on SQ I got 45 and on AQ, I got a rather surprising 48. On the Apie-Quiz, I got 143, though taking it later, I seemed to increase my score to 158 (reduced inhibitions or 'wishful' thinking, I am not sure).
Of course, this could all be moot - I constantly entertain the notion that I am in reality a disaffected NT who is looking to find a 'rationalisation' for his own sociophathic, bpd/npd condition at all costs.
When it comes to things like this, I often think that the less 'extreme' answer (ie the one that requires the minimal paradigm shift), is of necessity the preferred option.
Then I read what people have written who definitely do have AS and compare it to my own life, and suddenly things seem to 'click' together - or is that just me 'passing the buck' - ie avoiding 'taking responsibilty' and merely being a dysfunctional personality?
The antecedant 'backstory' of a career in the bowels of the 'psychodynamic' and 'psychotherapeutic' framework still exerts a hold over me (which is why I still foreground thoughts that my thinking I might have AS is nowt but escapist fantasy and absconding from responsibility on my part). I find to my surprise, after researching the internet, that my old Therapeutic Community are still citing Bruno Bettelheim as a serious source text for engaging with the theoretical framework that they held so dear, as well as being a legitimate therapeutic model for 'dealing with' 'autistic behaviours', of which I was once accused of having..
