Autistic with a formal diagnosis from a clinical psychologist.
Here in the UK to achieve this level of infamy your condition has to be to a level which is 'life limiting'.
I like to describe autism as a disability where other people change the meaning of what you said, and it's your fault.

@Philth may I ask do you have Asperger's?

Philth · 46-50, M

@Guardian ok so Aspergers is now an outdated term in the same way that we no longer refer to people as spastics (but once it was totally ok)
Hans Asperger was, well, Google it. Nazi Germany is all you need to know.
But yes, what used to be referred to as Asperger's.

@Philth Im in the UK too. Luckily my dr was able to refer me to a private company for diagnosis under the right to choose. It is somewhat limiting but by my age ive figured out ways to make myself more comfortable in this world that was designed for neurotypicals.

@Philth "Other people change the meaning of what you said, and it's your fault" - EXACTLY! Why do they do that? I don't have an answer to that question, but I just think they're insane.
