Because the other polls were incomplete. I don't necessarily agree with all of the terminology I am using in this poll.

Pick the one you think fits you best.

I was diagnosed as AS/HFA, so I just chose High- Functioning Autistic because it's easier to say! :wink:

The autistic kind.

Nah, I am high functioning autistic but as a kid I would have been moderately functioning because high functioning today is more functioning than what I was back then.

(Scratching head) I kinda wonder if there will be a poll with high- functioning Autism matched up with Aspergers'? I consider myself both!

Isn't that akin to liking both kinds of music - country and western? :wink:

Well, apparently I was diagnosed autistic when I was a kid, but nowadays I'd consider myself to be aspie.

How come you've got one saying 'autistic', when there're all types of autism except for normal?

It's a self-diagnosis, but I would say Asperger's Syndrome, based on what I've read here on the differences between AS and HFA.

What kind I have, right? You mean that literally? Not what people think or what diagnosis I have?

Thought I'll check though I guess I could go for "autistic" for the sake of being right one way or the other.
