Sometimes feel like an Aspie, sometimes like an NT

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I've been gone a while, but anyway, I convinced myself I was just a mentally ill NT.

But a couple of comments made about me in one day made me possibly rethink that.

First of all, I applied for a job, and I have my aunt say that I don't have "people skills" and I could never do it

Then was an interesting comment by a lady I know. She says that I am either extremely emotional, or most of the time, in an emotionless state where it looks like I'm in a trance staring off into space as it were. She can't figure out my emotional state in this mode. I do not know what to make of this comment.

At the same time, I have another person I know say I'm overly empathetic.... I can't make sense of this all.

Probably stuff I should bring up with my psychiatrist.

Have you been diagnosed? I don't think it is as simple as either being aspie or NT, you will probably have traits of both, it is whether there are enough traits for a diagnosis.
