Just curious to see what it looks like. I have talked with several members on Skype from WP, and all, including maybe myself (I really don't know), seem to have distinct aspie/odd traits that come across unavoidably.

I'm just curious to talk with people who are confirmed diagnosed but who really think they can pass for complete NT. Please PM me.

I only pass for NT with people who know nothing about AS. They all know I'm odd, but most people don't think I'm disabled.

I can totally pass for NT. However I can't skype until very late after kids are asleep, and I have never Skyped so I would have to figure out how that works.

I can pass for NT too. However I'm in the UK and there is a big time difference, plus I have two children around the whole time (both on the spectrum so can be disruptive!)

I seem to pass for NT no matter who I'm around when I'm calm and not overwhelmed. I come across as a bit quirky, but within the "norm". I don't pass for NT when I'm overwhelmed and overstimulated, though, but people just assume I'm quite mentally ill during those times.

Ha,ha, yes me too. I got really distressed about something a few weeks back and was hand-flapping and everything, if people raise a subject with me that distresses me they can clearly see what a state I'm in.
