What Sub Type of Aspergers do you have or are you?

Post Reply New Topic

It has been written there are 3 main sub types of Aspergers the Emotional, the Logic, and the Rule (child/adult/person) There are also seems to be additional subtypes. I was wondering how many there are of subtypes directly related to aspergers as in this way.

The Emotional child
The Logic child
The Rule child

Also i have read of these other options of subtypes:
The rational-dependent child
The structure dependent child

If anyone knows more of subtypes related only to aspergers please post i tried not to miss any.

Where?

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of the existence of such subtypes. There is nothing like that indicated on my psych report.

Could you provide descriptions of these?

I believe that the OP is referring to these articles:

The Emotion Boy (click)

The Rule Boy (click)

The Logic Boy (click)

I definitely fall under the "Emotion" category with the "Fantasy" subtype.

These sub-types seem to have been invented by "Pearson Education, Incorporated", and solely for the purpose of giving parents of Aspies more to worry about, and thus more motivation for buying Pearson's products and services.

Crass commercialism, in my opinion.

Actually, I remember that the first time I had read about these subtypes was in a book about autism, the title of which escapes me at the moment. Pearson Ed. copied it from the book. I just linked to that site because it was the first thing that popped up in google and I wanted to give people some clarification so that the thread wouldn't be clogged up with people going "what is the OP talking about?"

Okay then ... if anyone knows of the prime source material, then I'd like to read it for myself.

according to those definitions, I am certainly of the 'logic' suptype. If I can't find a darn good reason that makes sense to me behind a rule, I will either ignore it entirely or else I will rebel against it.

Unfortunately it's not free. I suspect there are more differences between males and females diagnosed with Aspergers, in general. Experts are just starting to study that issue, before the diagnosis no longer exists in the US.

Here is one concise English translation of how Hans Asperger's characterized his "Autistic Psychopathy". The person that wrote it may or may not have the condition. Never the less, he seems very interested in the subject, and it is one of the only summarized English translations I have found that doesn't require a book purchase of Uta Frith's translation.

As a disclaimer, I don't agree with some of the author's other viewpoints on his website. I think he may have a chip on his shoulder about bullies, in the criminal form, to the point where he describes they should not be allowed to procreate.

According to these definitions, I was probably the innocent/passive rule type when I was young. Coming into adulthood, I'm the logic type.

Thanks for giving a free plug for a product no one in this thread cared to know existed, until you brought it up that is.

Rule child...I don't like to rebel and I respect authority, rules, regulations, the system in general.

Then it is clear that these "definitions" were created for commercial purposes, and are probably not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association.

I'd not take them seriously at all.

Same here, would explain why there is such difference in aspies, better than anyone in this thread that is complaining would suggest.


P.S. to I get bonus points for being passively agressive?

Not sure what you mean, I read a few times but am still confused, can you clarify?
