No, I do not have what is referred to as Aspergers Syndrome

I have always deeply understood and empathized with what is termed Aspergers syndrome. I believe it to be a dysfunctional manifestation of someone with a STS orientation. However, I would say I differ from someone with this dysfunction in several fairly significant ways. Perhaps most significantly, I do not have trouble understanding or relating to other’s emotions. I find that I have exceptional emotional and empathic acuity. Within a few moments of meeting someone I can easily summarize their emotional state, inclinations, basic desires, and most significant defects. However, where one of an STO orientation may become submerged and/or immeshed in the other-self, I am unaffected by the encounter. Another significant departing point is that my emotional intelligence and empathic abilities have allowed me to construct a compelling, charming, and even charismatic human facade. Because I am easily able to “read” a person, it takes no effort for me to manifest a demeanor that most find pleasing and disarming. My natural state most closely resembles that of the “Vulcan,” and it is that aspect that I express here.  -Zaxon
