Preliminary result: Rule (possibly between over controlled and innocent).

Man, it did sound like the old me and things really went downhill since my life moved to a much fuzzier rules world.

Edit: OH MY GOD! I am fantasy, there's no discussion about this, really. Can't believe these people actually found out about this, we fantasies weren't supposed to tell about these things...

Edit II: The categorization is not solid at all, during my life I flip flopped between rule, anxiety and fantasy and keep doing it right now. This is my conclussion. I mean really, rule would describe me to almost every teacher I had back in school and fantasy is my hide most secret but I think anxiety has been the one ruining my life recently, in fact all the bad things that happened these last years begin there.

How do you all feel about the whole Boy thing? I found it questionable. They're still treating us with dignity, right?

I would say that I'm mostly Logical, and that there's nothing wrong with it. Logic is universally applicable to the whole world. Even love is logical. If you think I'm wrong, you can give me your best objection, and I'll listen. Until then, I must concede that logic governs the universe.

I think this is for parents about their kids, so for the parents boy is a good word, although not as good as child since we do have female aspies...

I think I should choose 'cabbage'. I identify with all subtypes.

How about this one:

Pip Boy
This child or teen usually has a cheesy grin on his face, often at the most inappropriate times.
Image
Be careful not to take everything he says too seriously, because he is very prone to evasive and dishonest behaviour.
Image
He can be very unpredictable, and may be prone to spontaneous acts of violence, without being able to provide a reason for his actions.
Image
Hallucinations are not uncommon for a Pip Boy, and one of the major concerns is that he runs the risk of future disorders such as schizophrenia.
Image

Recommended Approach: He must learn that the world is not his plaything.
Image
Be firm with him. This may lead to temper tantrums, or crocodile tears,
Image Image
but he will likely respond well to confident role models. Do your best to discourage his megalomaniacal tendencies.
Image
Medication is often necessary, as well as shock therapy, torture and hypnotism.

I think I'm an equal mixture of fantasy and anxiety. At least I was when I was a kid. i wasn't a boy though, definitely a girl.

I didn't cope well with things and the only coping mechanism I had was to retreat to fantasy. However, as has been mentioned, I never had a problem distinguishing the two. It was blatantly obvious that the real world was separate from the one in my head.

So which one shall i pick? I might toss a coin.

Logic, Fantasy and OCD.

But primarily Logic.

Like someone else said, the Fantasy is often what drives me, but not the extent of excluding the entire world around me. Also, I've been diagnosed with atypical OCD; meaning that I have the obsessions, but not very many of the compulsions. Makes sense, doesn't it?

When I was a little kid I was called "Mr. Why." :lol: "Question everything, accept nothing on blind faith and obedience" is pretty much the way I have always thought about things, which why I was always singled out for "behavior issues" and "insubordination" at school, I was always questioning people's "right" to command me around! :lol:


That's why I always had issues with math . . . people just wouldn't tell me WHY.

I'm probably in line with negative, because although I don't whine about things, I am pessimistic and cynical.

I voted logic, but I'd say a mix if logic/fantasy/ocd.

If anyone read the little story about the logic kid matt, I had the exact same situation as a child. I was embarassed to read that and go "hey I was just like that!" :)
