[QUOTE="keista, post: 461603, member: 11965"] Aspie-lite, As an officiaql diagnosis, probably not, but in real life applications? DEFINITELY. On all the school evaluations that son has gone through, he only registers as "[B]highly likely[/B] Asperger's" Fortunately that was enough for a Dr who did his school physical to sing off on the Asperger's diagnosis (currently trying to get something more "official" My Dad and Uncle share SO many of the traits. When discussing with my sisters, they were surprised that I included Uncle into the mix. For him, it's less noticeable because he's had the benefit of a very social wife guiding him and teaching him all these years. Personally, I have a few traits. Question is are mine genetic or learned behavior because I was raised by a man who is an Aspie? I'd have to say both because my sisters also have 'traits', but interestingly, each of us have different traits. so ???????? Oldest has the least, youngest seems to have the most. Also, our 'traits' can also be partially explained by other issues such as depression or anxiety, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which, very circularly are issues Aspies contend with. I did read one article that said that Autism is and INTENSE version of the male personality. YUP! made perfect sense to me. In a nutshell, if thinking of them as Apies makes it easier for you to deal with them, then go for it. [/QUOTE]
