It's been a few months, and while I have not had an official diagnoses, it is very likely that I have a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome.
Hell Tanja,
Welcome to the Hotel WP...........
I remember thinking that I had mild AS, about a month ago. Mild because I run my own business, am married a long time and because I was never called a Dork, Dweeb, Geek, Spaz (to my face anyway) or anything like that. I think the fact that I am a weight lifter might have had something to do with that, in adult life anyway.
I can now see, as if coming out of a coma, that my AS is anything BUT mild. My personal reference to 'mild' was due to the fact that I have been able to cope reasonably well.
Being able to cope despite being on the Autism Spectrum is the essence of being 'High Functioning'.
The clinical term 'High Functioning' is actually used, I think, only for those who have transitioned from Classical Autism to Functioning.
The term Asperger's is used to describe those who did NOT undergo a clinical transition from Classical Austism.
There is apparently little to distinguish HFA and AS in adulthood.
