symptoms of severe aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

Asperger Syndrome is a variant of classical autism which doesn't include the expressive and receptive language delays that are required for a classical autism diagnosis. So, in a sense, Asperger Syndrome is autism!

No, just wanted to ironically say that it is not a real problem, because the other problems are much much worse.
Nobody really looks very much at shoes anyway

Well Im tall, too. And I have really trouble with self esteem.
Not generally, just now, because I had a lot of changes in my life, behave strangely even from my perspective how I have been before.
People react on that and that makes me feel bad about my self.

Still I don¨'t have trouble talking to people, just it feels like they disconnected from me, because I was / am too strange.
My profs started to hate me and put me in a box. Great.

Maybe you're right in that direction that they'll isolate you because they fear you.
But general relations are without fear.

Isn't that agoraphobia or severe social anxiety?
You can have that and not have severe Aspergers.
Severe AS should depend on the severity on AS symptoms.

I.e spending all day on interests, finding it impossible to break out; poor communication skills, either saying too much impulsively, talking only about your interests, being unable to read body language or having any concept of social skills, getting into arguments, seeming to have rude behaviour, etc.

My friend who was a childcare worker said she knew kids with severe AS who could barely read or write, but I'd put that down as a learning disorder.

I have HFA but I don't think it's severe, and I have sporadic intense anxiety, paranoia and agoraphobia.

And?

If you buy lots of shoes at once, you've still spent lots of money on shoes.

Actually, superglue won't hold up when it starts raining. There, is, however, stuff (that is sold at stores like Cabelas) called Shoe Goop (according to my dad they use it to not just repair shoes, but also to make leaky fishing waders airtight again). Which reminds me that he promised to get me some and hasn't yet after I busted my shoe.

In relation to wearing of shoes, I am picky about my shoes. But I do weird things like roll my feet when I walk (as well as somewhat twisting my left leg as well), and some shoes are not designed appropriately to accommodate for that.

Once I do find shoes I will wear, I have like 30 pairs of them. Not of the same shoe style, but of the ones I deem able to wear. But there are some clear favorites, like the wide-band elastic small platform slides (that I busted and need to repair before putting on again), and the white platform keds like shoes (that are cracking and falling apart in their uppers, sadly, and the heels are scraped around the edges lol but they are THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES and I will only give them up when they die a horrible death), as well as these black square-toe stacked-heel naturalizer boots that I've essentially spent the last 5 years of my life living in. I guess you could say, if you looked at my closet, that I'm a "fashionable" aspie-- I can throw together some pretty good classy outfits, but, I have my go-to's for when I need structure, sameness, and comfort.

I have no idea where you got that assertion from. It sounds like a bunch of advertising hogwash.
I don't know how you think I should have confidence as someone who is 5'2". Personally I wear heelly shoes since I'm dating someone who happens to be 10" taller than me, and sometimes if I can't get my sister to hem my pants, they're a bit longer (the pants that seem to naturally run in my size don't take into account that I'm not grandma when it comes to style, so a lot of time it's either get the normal non-petite size and wear heels or have my sister hem it up)



My bf is 6' and he's really shy and people don't know what to make of him for it. my two aspie friends are tall (one's 6' and the other is 6'4") and always feel like because of their height, everyone in the room stops and stares at them and it makes them feel uncomfortable.

I have worn the same type of shoes for the last 5 years. I once got a different type of shoe and ended up wearing my beat up vans again. when im working outdoors I wear redwing boots when I ride motorcycles I wear my Milwaukee boots. im thinking about just stockpiling multiple pairs of the same shoe.
