Can someone have borderline Asperger’s/autism?

Where you’re beyond mild and are very mild?

Autism is in a spectrum. like a rainbow a spectrum of colors. We have fully functional Autism and non verbal Autism. For more meaningful information talk to a doctor.

Natch. Given how it's measured, this is especially likely (well, in relative terms; autism's not THAT common) when you're diagnosed as an adult, and have had years to learn how to adapt.

It's possible to have very mild symptoms and still have a positive diagnosis. I'm living proof of that.

[Asker]

Me too! I got diagnosed in my mid twenties. I have nearly every symptom but special interests and bright light sensitivity, but very mildly.

This thing happens only when you are exposed to psychological trauma or the death of a close person

/ and it is rare to happen except in the case of childbirth.

Autism is epigenetic; the only way that would work is if "psychological trauma" is code for "radiation". Life doesn't change your DNA.

possible but not "recognized" unless clinical autism.
