How Bad Is Your AS?

Post Reply New Topic

My AS symptoms are probably mild to severe, though I've managed to counter some empathy issues.

No one has it 'the worst'. Everyone is different on the spectrum. But I think I'm HFA.

they say haveing it really bad i do. like not know what people faces mean or how to have good convirsation. or not able calming down alone like alot flaping and rocking anf biteing and scratchng and meltdown.

mine is relatively mild but if I am under stress it can get a lot worse for a short period.

Mine could be called severe because I have all the symptoms, I guess. But having Asperger' syndrome itself doesn't cause me any grief, so I wouldn't say it's bad.

It's bad and I hate it. If there was anything good about it, like new ways of solving problems. But all it does is cause me social problems and make me awkward both physically & mentally. It sucks. I have none of the "good" AS traits. I even have some NT traits, usually bad ones. I don't see anything good about it at all in my case, though I realize that's not the case for everyone. I wish I could get rid of it.

I hate how it makes me depressed!!

i have no idea really if im getting into something i like severe.

I guess I'm about medium-functioning. I don't always do so well, but I can 'pass' usually as NT when I want/feel I have to.

I don't know? I would say that it is crippling really as it has caused me so many issues, and continues to do so, yet I have developed my own methods of being able to see from others points of view etc.

The second you meet me, you'd know how awfully quiet I am, how I don't make eye contact and am always rub my hands together. Some pretty sure signs that my AS is quite strong.

My AS is not so bad, I'm getting a lot better at conversations

I don't know really. I can do well at conversations with people I like and do not need to talk about my intrests much, however I am very quiet, do not make much eye-contact, stim a lot and have to collect things. I get really nervous with people but I think thats partly related to abuse rather than AS at all.
I would say HF.

I'd put myself at the high-functioning end of the spectrum. I'd still be undiagnosed if I hadn't actually gone out of my way to find out why I felt 'wrong'.

Having said that, it *does* cramp my style, it stops me from performing my best at work, when there's people-oriented tasks involved, and it seriously screws up my social life (or lack thereof).

But... I cope. I'm not doing too abd for myself, even though I whinge a lot. And if it wasn't AS, it would be something else - everybody's got some kind of cross to bear.

I get moments of clarity, when I notice the differences between myself and NTs, although most of the time I just amble along in my own world and get generaly left to my own devices, (which I like). I don't know exactly how bad my AS is, I cope with it ok as it is not diasbling. I'm not socialy motivated anyway.
