"Touch of Asperger's"

Post Reply New Topic

This is also something new. Sometimes I hear this online and it was even in the book House Rules when Emma said that about her ex husband.

I assume it means someone has traits of it but not enough to have the diagnoses. I tried looking this up and there isn't any information on it.

What exactly is it?

I always assumed it referred to BAP (broad autistic phenotype) people. So, like you said, people who have noticeable traits but aren't diagnosable.

When I was seeing a shrink about my Reactive Attachment Disorder, I mentioned how highly I score on Asperger tests, maybe hoping he would pursue that avenue as well, he simply said "we all have a bit of Aspergers in us"

I've met a few people who have ''a touch of AS'' but not enough to be diagnosed or even stood out from the norm in any way, whether it's mildly or moderately or severely or whichever the scale goes.

I sometimes feel I have a ''touch of Dyslexia'', because I or anybody else wouldn't recommend a diagnosis for Dyslexia, and I was average with learning to read and write and count at school like the rest of the children, but because of my poor maths skills and lack of smarts with the times-tables, and also my lack of interest in reading and taking in things, makes me think I am not a typical Dyslexic. My good spelling smarts makes me have doubts about Dyslexia aswell, because I am good at spelling.

That's what a psychologist said about my daughter.
