| I don't know about "tone" but I do remember reading a couple of comments in these past years since my registration on WP about some autistic people experiencing moments of feeling left out/not being included as much for having somewhat different needs. As for me, I can relate to the overall feeling ... |

| Zero. No official diagnosis prior to the ASD diagnosis. I was kept away from psychologists and psychiatrists until I became a legal adult. I am all for optimism but I sincerely doubt that professional would have figured "oh, this kid has autism/AS" on their own, especially not throughout 1992 to 200... |

| I've been bullied too like the other users and it still happens a lot when I meet new people. I don't know for sure what caused it and what's still causing it. There are only a few things that I know for sure: 1) Bullies hardly know anything about me. So, I guess it has a lot to do with that rather ... |

| Definitely. I got from therapists and a psychiatrist that dealing with people younger than me by a couple of years - just 3 years to be specific - must be boring and therefore not truly enjoyable to me but truth is, I'm totally fine with it. I totally don't feel how playing around with a kid on an a... |

| Totally exhausting. I went to a compulsory counsel session about university in early September and I tried hard to socialise some by paying attention to some of the (50ish) people there, listening to the talks and asking questions about what they told us. I wanted to see if I could get by because I ... |

I would think that I needed some help in getting in that direction by following the ways of which I should have functioned in the first place, by sticking to my habits of "programming" myself, just this t... |

| I got pretty average results for the first two tests. However, I simply pressed "1" on the first test most of the time because I couldn't detect a face and alternated between "1" and "2" on the second test. There should have been an option for "no idea". Alas, I don't think random button pressing me... |

| I suspect that my autism is of the aloof-type. My ASD therapist would most likely peg me as "passive" and I thought that would be it for the longest time. But my past passiveness was always the result of trying hard and is not the natural state-of-being I revert to when I'm exhausted. I worked on ge... |

| 3. the USA will skip ICD-10 and go straight to ICD-11 (asperger syndrome is probably still going to be in there!) By the looks of it, what's currently known as AS in the ICD-10 won't be included in the ICD-11 and also, the disorder will not be referred to as AS anymore. See here http://www.wrongpla... |
