You mean Asperger? I have a diagnosis and would be interested in talking with others.

At least here in the US. Aspergers is now considered to be under the Autism Spectrum, and it is now classified as high functioning Autism.

>as high functioning
Im curious, what means "high functioning"?

>>23727638
high functioning is like this, on one end of the spectrum you have socially awkward but usually smarter than the average person. on the other end you have unable to communicate using words and basically full blown "retarded" and then u got everything in between

i dont see how autism can be something to be proud of

i see it more as a hinder in day-to-day life and social activities and causes anxiety and depression as a result

(anecdotal)

>>23727638
Basically it's one step above the type of autism where you make noises, smack yourself on the head and wear diapers.

Chris Chan is a high functioning autistic. Let that be your reference.

>usually smarter than the average person

That completely depends on how you define "smart." Some autists have an increased capacity for math and memorization, but that's not always the case, and only a small part of overall intelligence.

>>23727638

often high-functioning autism is displayed as being very proficient and interested in a specific subject (see stuff like molecular constructs or mathematics) and aren't as good with other subject. See either a lack of interest or just unable to properly understand the subject (language for example)

What if I'm particularly good with languages, writing and creative stuff
My psychiatrist when asked said that I exhibit some asperger traits but they probably are due to my personality + OCD
