I'm diagnosed with nothing.
I ran across AS, noticing the
attention that it's gotten in
press within the last year or
so (didn't know anything about
it before), and realized that it
seemed to describe me perfectly.
I seem to meet all the criteria,
and many of the offbeat traits.
Still, mention was made, here and
there, about NPD, and that it
is a disqualifying factor. I thought
I had already looked at it, and judged
that it didn't apply. But, it sure looks
like it does. I meet some 7 of 9 requisites,
where only 5 are necessary. And, those that
I miss (empathy based) are only a matter of
internal perception. What empathy I have is
mainly (but not entirely - else I would have
kept playing with something I was liable to
hurt) suppressed.
