1. I definitely, and extremely, am not NT. Is Asperger's just defined as what it is not?
2. I have been officially diagnosed with Aspergers.
3. From what I have read from my diagnosers, they do not understand me at all and have me all wrong.
4. From what I read about Aspergers, I am just as different from them as I am from NTs.
5. I am not a "high functioning" version of anything. My condition is severe and very far from NTs.
6. I am definitely not anything currently on the DSM. I must be put somewhere on the DSM to be in "treatment". My condition involves virtually every psychological realm (pervasive) and is inborn (developmental) and stable, and causes profound problems (disorder). (therefore, is PDD by definition). I had no speech delay (HFA), I am not intellectually retarded (classic autism), and I am not in any way "between" autistic and NT (PDD-nos) Therefore, I must be classified Asperger by default.
