I think that that may be a good thing. I get confused knowing even whether I'm an Apsy or not despite many others including professionals thinking I may be. I think Aspergers is not very clearly defined. Breaking it up into several different versions of ASD (mostly high functioning in this case I think?) may be a good move.
Quote:My dad and my uncle both have undiagnosed Aspergers. They struggle with executive function in that they can only concentrate on one thing at a time. It means that my dad never comes to the dinner table when he's called and my uncle struggles with the game of Go. I beat him at chess my making moves unrelated to what he is focused on and then waiting for him to forget about them again.
I'm exactly the same with Chess and a neuropsychologist, a psychiatrist and a teaching assistant who worked with autistic children all thought I may be an Aspy. Apparently I have to travel accross the country to get it tested and I am not able to any time soon. It seems too difficult to get autistim tested. I have a friend who also struggles with getting people to actually test her.
Quote:Personally speaking I have my own mental deficiency in that I am unable to experience an orgasm. I am too sensitive to sensory stimuli. Tactile defensiveness is also another symptom common with people on the Autistic spectrum disorder but not everybody has it.
Although at least in my experience orgasms are mostly a postive thing and I'm sorry to hear you don't experience them... they're not 100% good I mean they can be addictive and obsessive like many other things. They can lead to misery as well as happiness, of course. I'm sure you're aware of this though...
If you don't mind me asking then: How do you feel about not being able to experience orgasms? I know you don't know exactly what you're missing if you've never experienced one... but I hope you don't feel too bad about it?
I mean since you brought it up I was curious but of course if it makes you feel uncomfortable or I have offended you then of course I am sorry for asking. I am not intending to ask over-personal questions.
