This thread is a serious question and not any kind of insult, given that I am HFA myself and so is delora. And if so, does it annoy you that people including your friend Sturm consistently use it as an insult to people?
No
I used to wonder if i was autistic many years ago. But after investigating, learning and so on, I think I am not.
I classified myself as a schizoid in the past, but I don't do that anymore either. Now I just have a cluster A personality.
I've heard and read that schizoids can have autistic thinking, which is not autism, but something that looks like it. I do not know much about it, because I heard it at the end of my research and I didn't care anymore.
But I can grasp social context, jokes and sarcasm now, I do not perceive everything so literary anymore. And I've never been very sensitive or very orderly (I am not sure, but i believe those two were associated with autism too).
I still have my moments lol, but i think thats normal.
Autism causes you to be unable to understand many of these things(social communication related things), while I just had to teach them to myself.
Why do you think I have high functioning autism?

Well, somebody said you did. But, I like hearing from the source.
