Although I have an official DX of aspie, and my condition is as far from NT as anyone, I still feel that I do not fit in, even as aspie. A large part of the reason is that, although I know that this is a "spectrum" condition, some of my traits are not just non-aspie, but are actually the extreme opposite. (an example of a condition with an opposite trait could be someone diagnosed with, say, Down's syndrome, who has an IQ of 160. Yes, that is possible!)
One example in me would be that in Asperger, they say concrete intelligence tends to be higher than abstract intelligence, but in me, my abstract intelligence is so much higher than my concrete intelligence as to be a social problem of its own; However, although Albert Einstein's abstract intelligence was abnormally high, he is still considered a possible aspie.
Another would be that, according to one source, an Aspie would find it easier to show love by buying a gift than by giving close affection, while I am the extreme opposite of that.
Is there anyone here who has a trait which is the opposite of Aspie?
