I don't know. I DO know that the low self esteem
is a major factor in everything. I thrive off of the
attention that I receive from dancing, from the
way that I dress, from the inappropriate things
that I say.
bingo - me too.
the rest of it rather comes back to my point about blurred distinctions. and i tend not to trust online tests that much (although i do them as avidly as you
), as one can't make a clinical assessment of someone without interacting with them in some way of another. it's the little things which give the most information, in many cases, and the ways in which the "characteristics" are manifested. for example, my suspicions about my ex having AS were really confirmed (in my view) by the way he walked, which isn't exactly one of the "top boxes to tick", generally. and i never thought i had a problem with abstract thinking, until a friend (who works with adults with AS) pointed out
how it was manifested in me. i would never have "ticked that box" otherwise, and now i have, i can see examples of it happening all the time, and they don't have any other explanation other than me being stupid (and i'm not).
oh, i'm going on. and on, and on... i'll shut up, now.
