A useful practical definition - Although at the moment I have a very tentative sense that maybe Aspiedom could be "more than the sum of its' parts" - That the characteristics need to "work together" in some way, almost that you could have someone in whom the characteristics displayed rather mildly, yet who would still be recognisably Aspie, whereas someone who "presented" more strongly might come across as not "really" Aspie - Just speculation though - Thoughts anyone?

Might help to give a bit more info - like country (I know UK, but others may not), age, how long ago you were diagnosed, what you use computers for (unless it's just for themselves, like having a fast car that you can hardly ever drive at its' maximum), other interests, and manifestations of weirdness (other than straight Aspiedom).

I knew nothing then of Aspiedom, and the vaguaries[sic] of Autism.

I am not sure that if the whole world were an Aspie[sic] the social concerns of Aspiedom would actually vansih.[sic]

I don't think he really has any symptoms of aspiedom.

That and the tests on Alice's site that she posted recently, plus some quizzes by Simon Baron-Cohen and Tony Attwood all pretty much conformed[sic] my Aspiedom.
