In explanation of social ineptness

[Guest guest]

Greetings:

I have heard folks use:

borderline

dusted with

characteristics/traits of

a touch of

etc., etc., etc. It is such a broad spectrum and no two are alike and we all experience our world differently. I think what ever makes YOU comfortable is OK.

Not every one is going to agree. I know recovered addicts that believe a person who drinks more than X drinks a week is a future addict in denial or some folks in our community believe in the all or nothing approach to labeling with autism, you either have it or you don't. It depends on how you indentify with autism and what language you are comfortable using. I think it is a personal choice.

If one is seeking services, one might need the dx., but even then, it is how they indentify themselves with that label and use it.

This is just "my" personal humble opinion.
