RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
All my friends seem to be high-functioning. It makes me feel really, REALLY low-functioning. But it doesn't matter how functioning they are. To me, what matters is their attitude towards low-functioning people. Some low-functioning people even have a bad attitude towards low-functioning people. They say things like "A kick up the arse is what did me good and helped me function better" and "I SUPPORT aversives! They saved my life!"
That's just the brain-washing talking. Keeps 'em from pointing accusing fingers and their abusers - err..behavior therapists.

RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
A patient of mine once told me that he had "5 NT friends", they seemed to care for him very much after what I heard, I think that open-minded NT's can easily be friends with aspies, if they want to.

I have HFA, and I have no friends. I'm not sure I can participate in the poll. I WOULD be friends with someone with LFA, but I don't know anybody. :\

RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
I have one friend who is very much NT. The other friend, I would not describe him as Aspie (certain aspects make me highly doubt he's Aspie); but he certainly has his quirks such as life-long special interests. If he didn't have an athletic background (and performed well at physical stuff) and was immune (for the most part) to being bullied when we were in high-school, I'd probably consider him Aspie.

My friends are all cleverer than me. I'd be bored by them if they weren't.

I knew a LFA before I was diagnosed. He was funny and we made each other laugh. The teacher aide was a total killjoy and stopped us.
I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife.

If I offended you, please let me know via pm. I tend to do it without realizing it. I can be clueless as to how my humor comes across. Please be nice about it.

RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
I voted 4 option 5, but not cuz i'm nervous. I just don't have to seem anything in common with LFA people.

RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
I should have gone with option 3 though, but still...

RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
I've never met an LFA adult.
Whether I was friends with an LFA person or not or not would depend on what we had in common and how well we got along.

RE: Friendships Across the Spectrum?
I haven't had an LFA friend since middle school. I'd be uncomfortable now.
Try me on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/#!/christopher.marsh3
You may need to friend me (it is restricted so employers can't see it)
