I think the list is too stupid to even worth a topic over. I think if anything we should come up with better categories. I see myself in nearly all of them, they are incredibly vague.
Well, sorry for being such a piece of sh** lol.
They don't even have official subtypes yet. It's going to take time, I think a lot of people will see some of themselves in all of the categories but it's more about which one you fit into the most.
If you don't fit into one that's normal too, there could be a mixed type.
I doubt there will ever be official subtypes. Right now they are consolidating the diagnoses into one autism label, not making them more distinct. If anything we will just be separated by functioning levels.
But I have always been interested in making subtypes, especially for Asperger's. My mother got a book about Asperger's from the library that subtyped them much more efficiently than the above website does (Parenting Your Asperger Child: Individualized Solutions for Teaching Your Child Practical Skills.) It should be noted that I think these were for children, but next time I'm at the library I'll write them down. I'm sure it'll be of interest to more than just me.
I wonder if subcategories like these "logical" "emotional" etc. would aid more in helping people with Asperger's (help based on the type) than using functioning levels that could possibly be a lot more subjective.
