Excellent language skills?

Yes, I can write very well. There are times verbally I am totally stuck but I can write. I have about 27 years of diaries. Maybe it is like what happens with strokes.

One of the hardest things about being a "hybrid" is that people want you to be black and white. You can talk! You are not autistic! Or why can't you talk in school but you can at home? Faker!

That is why I was so adement about getting tested at a well known center that specailizes in autism. I know I am weird, but I am even -it seems- a weird autistic.

So I just have to try to analyze it. I have some theories.

If I was a few times more sensitive, I probably wouldn't be able to talk outside of my family either! I could see how that could happen even in someone with AS, and I DON'T think it would be a basis of dismissing it. Hybrid of WHAT?

You certainly can't mean autistic and AS, as that is a given. There is a line someone sets in a couple or three catagories. If you are far enough to the right on average, they will generally say AS. Stray a LITTLE too far the other way, and it is HFA. It is WHERE the lines are, and how they are weighed that is the question.

I meant of Autism and NT. But meant in a good way

I did fine; I had trouble in 1st grade for a few days with reading; then something clicked, and I could read. I just couldn't stop... I remember making 630 on my SATs in high school on the English part (only 490 on math...

I have a very good vocabulary, know many words, but getting them to come out of my mouth right...

Contrast this with the missus; horrible vocabulary, most sentences are like "go over there and get me that thing"

"What thing?"

points, obviously annoyed. "That....that...(long pause)..butter knife...

contrast that, though, with the ability to go up to total strangers and make them friends in 5 minutes, have their life stories, etc. A mixed blessing.
