How do you see yourself in terms of your Autism?
in General ASD
Do you think your personality and identity is an extension of your autism, separate or do think of your autism part or whole of yourself?

I also don't see how they can be completely separate, since they influence each other.
So I guess a part or aspect of myself would be the most accurate description for how I see it (granted, a part that plays an active role in the whole if that makes sense). I think I see my identity as a result of nature+nurture+personal experiences, with autism being part of nature (genetic makeup) but also playing a part or influencing the other two.
Interesting question, I don't think I thought about it in these terms before.
I call myself a idiot savant and don't care much for doctors.
