Or do those terms not really apply to us as part of the autism diagnosis includes difficulties with communication?
A response on this forum prompted me to think: are you an extrovert then?
Most people here appear to be introverts - however, does this just go back to autism?
Years ago I did the Myers-Briggs test and I came out as an INFJ (Advocate).
I seem to remember this was the rarest profile and my autistic friend was the same.

So, if there was a choice between actually meeting a real person in real life or just an image of their face on a computer screen, the screen would win hands down for me!
How do you perceive yourself and do you think the term is relevant as we are autistic?
id say i'm an introvert, if i am in a group (shudder) i tend to stand back and listen from the fringes, if theres a dog or cat, then that is getting all my attention. i can hold a convo on the phone as thats part of my job, and i can text, but if i met any forum members i would for sure clam up. i still dont know for sure if i have Autism or if im just really shy and socially awkward ?
