Response to accuracy self diagnosis

Post Reply New Topic

We all seem to have an innate sense about ourselves and our surroundings no matter how high or low functioning we may be. I am a currently self diagnosed aspie soon to be DX'd, yet I am not looking to say either way that self diagnosis is always acurate. Maybe some of us are depressed and loners and feel these are tell tale signs of Aspergers who knows...The point is those of us here are looking to commune and relate to people whom we feel are like us.

We are far more intelligent and empathetic than to turn away someone as I am sure we have all been turned away due to illogical thinking such that someone does not seem aspie or autisitc enough for this site. When you think about it wouldnt you say thoughts like those seem more Neurotypical than anything.......

My guess is that aspies should be pretty good at self dx in that we tend to be pretty honest and logical. Aha!

But what about an NT mistaking self for AS? In that case, I don't know.

Also, some people have some AS traits, but perhaps not all or many of them. I doubt any of us are possessed of all of them.

I guess I lucked out. I own most (overwhelmingly) AS traits, and I find that I seem to have no personality outside the AS listing. Pretty unambiguous.

For persons nor so much AS it could be more tough. But I will tell you this: I surely would not tell anyone that they are not aspie or autie enough to be here.

Only ones I dislike are flamers.
