Worse, I don’t even know how I would approach a doctor about it. It is not easy, but is an important step to take.
If it doesn’t, we rearrange the data, mentally, until it does. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

Publicly I’m good but privately I’m very uncomfortable when someone gets too close.

You doctor may be able to point you to such a person. Justine. I never held a steady job until I became a computer programmer–but I was a very good programmer for 35 years, and retired successfully. One thing I really loved was computers and electronics, particularly digital electronics.
To be honest, Asperger’s, depression, and anxiety do all make life harder.
But I am struggling, especially now I no longer have a partner who would really act as a blanket to help me through the emotional struggles. That name is not used now, rather people are described as being on the autism spectrum or having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or condition (ASC).

Well, essentially you’re looking for non-conformist behavior where people don’t blindly trust society and its frameworks.
I’d like to meet with a specialist and find out if my suspicious are correct, though I think I might NOT have the disorder after all, because I only fit two symptoms, plus I’m very optimistic and love talking and I have some friends who love talking with me and often don’t exactly understand what I’m saying! I like many things “just so” or more precisely, “done right” and constantly look for the optimum way of doing a task. The point is, aspie people are rarely roadblocked if they come across one. I could grab people’s attention by observing and studying their reactions and expressions. Also i have always been super high energy some say im wired 440. Because I really don’t know what to do. Let us know what you find out after you see a professional who has expertise in the field of autism and ASD. Hey Daniel I have answered very honestly (in my opinion), but am a little surprised I score so high.
I can’t touch certain things and people can’t touch me certain ways. ð. Still i am hyper and i love energy drinks i would rather be sped up than slowed down. Even my family members think that I have mental issues or am violent and dangerous. Thankfully my husband is understanding and he knows now that I need clear instructions for what to do. I hope that you can develop the skills that you will need to move into your desired career. Over the years I learnt to look normal by copying my best friend who is the most social, spontaneous and adorable person I know.

Collect many things, records, tv’s, radios, phonographs, wire recorders, cars, fans, cameras, and many more items, OCD is obvious to others. The doctor said that if it had been three years ago she would have diagnosed aspergers but said something about not using that term anymore? Hi Robert And these symptoms I’m reading seem to describe my behavior very well. I have found a similar thing happen to me. Justine, I find it mildly amusing that everywhere it states something along the lines of “If your resulting AQ score was above 31 then you may want to follow up with a medical practitioner to do further tests in order to determine 100% if you do have an ASD or aspergers.”. There is no way to tell you everything, but change for me has always been a process. I am so glad to know that this website has been helpful, even if only a little. Similarly a child on the spectrum, could present with the same set of behaviours! How well are you and your partner able to talk and communicate with each other? Loud noises frighten me a lot and I get the feeling something bad will happen if it doesn’t stop. We hear music not only in songs, but also in advertisments, movies, stories and tv shows (even wrestlers have theme songs!
Accelerate your learning by deconstructing complex skills, practicing the most important elements first, and removing barriers to deliberate practice.
(and not that well when it involves speaking and interviews) I performed well in both humanities and science and maths, which led to my decision in choosing humanities in GCSE level and switching to science at AS until now. In truth, it needs to be a decision that you make yourself. even if it is something as simple as walking our dog, or just going for a walk. Take care, Kate and God richly bless you and your family.
I was first led to research the condition as a result of a several remarks which others have made, suggesting that I am in some way abnormal or disabled. So I’ll just bide my time, I think.
And in my mind if I did not care why would I be fake and ask questions I didn’t want to know? For sure you know better than me. My ‘picture’ of autism has also greatly changed over the past 5 years or so. I usually notice car number plates or similar strings of information. I look forward to hearing how you get on. Thank you for opening up and sharing some of your struggles and life with us. There are many other things but I just can’t get over that it might be something else other than inattentive ADHD or some learning disabilities. Any research I’ve done has been on my own but I’ve read a lot about mental disorders and I feel like I can’t trust myself to think I have something because maybe I’ve just been reading too much and am just over-relating to everything I read. I am honestly now sure what to tell you. I am clueless in social situations. I’m 15 and my sister has autism, and I found she and I have many similarities regarding our social interaction, which was the reason I started researching autism.
Try to find every item, collectible, do everything 100% and learn every last detail about it. I want to know if I really have since I there is no professional specialized in asperger in my place.
To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating.
Please how do I move forward from here. It is wrong to think you can “fight” this.

As a child i collected baseball cards and cataloged them and even wrote which ones i still needed and put them in numerical order.
Here is a useful website http://www.usautism.org/, I hope this helps and I wish you and your family all the very best. I have been diagnosed as having PDD-NOS at age 6 back in the mid 1990’s which later changed to “Asperger’s” in my teens (the diagnosis I mean). I have already been tested by a psychologist and Asperger’s was never mentioned. I will point you in the direction of professional organizational website such as http://www.autism.org.uk/ for UK Being a teen is hard to begin with and mental disorders make it even harder. I am not asexual, but have been asked if I am – the truth is I simply do not like to discuss it. Thank you so very much for sharing your heart with us! Any sense of what they mean on the scale? I never get asked to do anything social such as getting together for a beer or going out for a long bike ride. Hey Toby I truly do wish you all the very best and hope to hear from you again in the future. I had no idea there was a name for what I have experienced since I was a child.
I truly wish you all the very best and hope to hear back from you as to how you get on. Thanks again for commenting.
Or if it’s a particular subject like gaming computers I feel like I have to research it and know as much as I can about it even though anyone could get by without needing to know anything about it. To me, it is a big success if I am able to carry on a pretty normal conversation with someone about a topic.
I fully understand how difficult and even draining it can be talking and interacting with others.
... carry on as if nothing really matters. Typically me. But then I do cry when I watch anime/films/tv series, maybe because I sometimes see some of myself/my experience in that and I would feel strongly.
Thank you, really interesting doing the test. Getting a diagnosis is certainly often not that easy or inexpensive.
Subjects such as: bodily hygiene, physical activity, and or a ritual consumption of foods.
My parents always thought I was just mature for my age and “gifted” (I’ve been at the top of my class since grade school. This is especially important to do while he is still young. I do hope you find the answers you need. I took this test and got a score of 32, went back and moderated some answers and scored 27 – not in the high range, but trending in that direction. Sometimes itâs not too bad for me but sometimes Iâm literally terrified to enter these situations and all I can do is put on my best poker face and pray it doesnât last too long. I also identify with the aspie traits that I have seen on the aspie groups I follow on facebook.
I wonder, do I have this disorder but have worked on it (a lot of work left) or I’m just a normal person with issues? I’m a 44 year old woman and I scored a 32. Because my compulsive tendencies can also be correlated with a ‘feeling of a thought’, as a particular kinetic expression of my internal processing. ð That really encourages me.

For each question, record if you âDefinitely agreeâ, âSlightly agreeâ, âSlightly disagreeâ or âDefinitely disagreeâ. I am a very good computer technician and at one point I was head of the MIS department at my work but the department head meetings and the office environment in general was so stressful for me I had to get out of there and find something less socially demanding. I have people I am friendly with but no friends.
I have very flexible hands and fingers.
But I think he is a bit obsessed with ASD and tonight suggested I might be on the spectrum because I describes a range of feelings (confusion, shame, distrust) that I had to a situation, rather then looking further into my feelings, he thought they had a ‘colour’ as if on the spectrum. Don’t know if or whether I should broach the subject with him. – I’m very picky about my appearance, and I prefer dressing fashionably.
But I do believe that as we grow up and older that it is very common to learn skills to ‘fit in’ with those around us. From my own experience, I think that often people (even school leaders and doctors) do not understand unless they have personally experienced something similar. Hi Toni
See what they say. They keep labeling her as different things and wanting to medicate her and move on. I will definitely be talking to my doctor about this at my next appointment! But then I don’t know, if I knew I had some form of autism would that affect me more.
It sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of who you are as a person and your limitations and giftings.
it is 38. But personal skills between my partner, even close friends and other acquaintances? I simply cannot match their faces with their names and I always had to pretend that I recognise them when we met in uni in other occasions.
It defines a set of behaviours!
I always concentrate on the smallest details with my art, and if I can’t get it right i get really angry and feel like quitting.

Now, at older age I have some issues adapting to new circles of people, to the point where I am being criticized by a school principle (I am a teacher) for being withdrawn from the circle of my coworkers… I am becoming more and more obsessed with numbers like dates of birth and etc. In the early days of our marriage he had a habit of looking at me lovingly over the dinner table, and i literally quailed under what for me was an intense stare. Both are enlightening. Okay, So i scored a 41 on this test. Is Aspie the nickname? In fact, it is most beneficial to any child to be diagnosed and to then receive support and assistance at as young an age as possible. I always have been an introvert to a large degree.

My mom admitted to me that she was never able to bond with me as a child. I truly feel your frustrations! It is greatly appreciated. My wife does think I should seek formal diagnosis from our family doctor, but in the UK (where I live) the health service (NHS) does not have a great track record in this area (so I have heard)… I will think about it over the festive period!
i seldom smile and always frozen in front of camera and it takes a lot to make me smile in front of the camera….
I seem to have a very good memory for certain things i can tell you the registration number of most of the cars that go to my childrens school, but i cant seem to remember a conversation i have had a week ago, nor what i cooked for tea the previous day. I’ve found it interesting to say the least.
I would say anime took a big a hold of my life and perhaps even helped me.

You are most welcome Jeff ð I am glad it was useful. Our style works right now and I’ve incorporated many things I’ve learned about Asperger’s but I don’t want others using the diagnosis as an excuse for him. Thank you for sharing this huge section of your life with us! It wasn’t until after I was 20 years old that I finally found my voice.
I was called nerd and humiliated for this. So it really is hard to know what ‘normal’ is.
It drives my family nuts when I move a pot to the optimum burner and center it to within a couple millimeters of dead center in two axis. What I would suggest is searching for a local support group for those with Aspergers or an ASD. 0.5 Credit Grade(s): 9-12 State Code: 2040300040
So if you donât include family and of course my wife, I have one good friend in this world. Thank you for your comment and for sharing part of your life and experiences with us. I’m a bit surprised and wondering where I should go from here. I also love reading random stuff and acquire some extent of knowledge in every aspect. But the flip side of the coin is I feel like Iâm a bad person because for me to make that same connection with someone would take years of fumbling through awkward conversations and repeated failures of communication. Thank you for sharing your test result and your desire for a formal diagnosis. I know that I’m not popular, and I know people don’t like me. I wish that there was a simple answer to your question.
Like a light turning on when you discover a possible reason why you have struggled in certain areas all your life!
Long story short, I was never diagnosed and probably never will be.
He & our son have this complicated relationship of love and hate, both not realizing what or why for the way they are toward each other. I do have OCD. Yes.
Justine ð. It’s a weird feeling. I am a Culinary Arts instructor. Yes it does begin to explain some things… ð. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully this will be a step in the right direction. I got a score of 46. MediaWiki coding, Japanese etc.
If you really do not feel you can talk to your parents then is there another trusted adult family member or close friend that you could discuss your concerns with? Rigging up. If I send someone I know a friend request, and they deny it (I’ve gone to great lengths to find out how to tell if they do or not), it greatly troubles me, and I of course wonder if they like me or not, or find me creepy for trying to add them on Facebook. My heart goes out to you and your daughter.
Despite having developed my own skills for coping, I feel different most of the time when I’m with groups of other people.
Which she probably does, I should add.
It has been a few days now since you wrote your comment. Trying to be ‘normal’ as the average person expects certainly can drain energy and even motivation! Hi Marie Please feel free to come back and leave further comments anytime.
Thanks for sharing your score and comment. My mother often calls me “detached” and “cold”. They are happy with the skills that they have in life and in handling various situations and relationships etc. I’ve never seen him get emotional or cry in 19 years of knowing him, & it’s obvious that he feels anxious when around it not understanding what to do. It will likely never work.
I was painfully shy but have “learned” to be outgoing and extrovert when situation arises. I took the test and scored a 32. In any case, I started reading about Asperger’s a few weeks ago and it was like a light bulb lit up in my head in an instant.
I am above average intelligence (IQ 136), Your comments were not too long by the way!
Thanks!
Don't get stuck in research mode. Wow, that’s a thing??? For me, some confusing parts of the questionnaire are conditions with 2 variables, like “I donât usually notice small changes in a situation or a personâs appearance.” What I would say though is to talk about it with your partner, if he is open to that without making you feel you must get a diagnosis. Although looking in my life I do have burnouts quite regularly and always wondered what caused them. For the past 2 years I’ve suspected I might have Asperger’s Syndrome.
For someone who has to force themselves to look others in the eye it can be very exhausting and draining.
I wish you all the best with finding a professional to discuss your concerns with. Thanks for posting the test. I am socially awkward and I’m currently doing two post-graduate degrees, also I don’t do romantic relationships as I don’t understand them. ð peace. I could have written this myself exept I was eventually diagnosed as Bipolar.
I had to teach myself how to look people in the eye when I was about nine and I have some form of selective mutism (I think) cause I find it very difficult to speak to strangers and when I try nothing comes out.
Later they’ll tell me about how they saw me but I didn’t notice them.
However my main issue is i am really confused on whether i have it or not i am aware from two of my friends that i am a little weird and can talk for ages about my interest but dont usually let anyone else talk and have some weird ideas about death and such (wont go into them they are a little weird) but should i get diagnosed or am i making these symptoms up because sometimes i feel i really do have the disorder then other times i feel its just me in a weird mood.
I have always been bullied and invisible. “Do you get a pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp or back of the body in response to certain sounds?”, “Do you feel an urge to peel flakes off yourself and / or others?”.
You may want to follow up on your online test score and get a formal diagnosis if you decide to go that way. I feel like everyone is always watching me, from the way i walk, how i hold my shoulders when i stand still, where my eyes look and lips move when im talking, how my eyebrows move and how often. Hi Ashly
1. I can relate to your struggles in relating to others. I scored a 34, so i definitely have AS. It definitely sounds like your son would benefit from a professional diagnosis and follow up support and treatment. ascribe my symptoms to the many facets I have acquired social skills in the meantime and I am not bad at organizing and even leading people up to some extent. ð Some days I prefer to be alone and just have my own space.

I saw my father go through life like this, being treated as an oddball (which he was)â I hate thinking that really, I’m like him. It is always a pleasure to read our viewers comments and thoughts. How helpful is a diagnosis if the range of symptoms and behaviors are so varied? Rather I am happy just to know that I am not mad or bad, and it brings things into perspective when when I look back at the numerous “train crashes” that seem to be a symptom of my life. Anyhow, I scored 44/50 on the above test, and also managed to get the pass mark on the rdos test (120/200).
It is important to keep in mind as well that often people may have more than one condition or disorder. “What is this? This is often not beneficial. Thank you for setting up this page and being so open to feedback.

My brain sometimes goes through this process where I must consciously say to myself “what is the right thing to say?
