| thank you all for your replies, I didn't realize the age factor that comes with being diagnosed with a PD. I'm 21, and found out about asperger' a month back. If i was to go back to my childhood to trace symptons, I would say they again included lack of social interaction, not having many friends, s... |

She practically had a group of friends, had even named them and used to deliberately take long showers 'coz she would get to meet them in her bathroom. Her imaginary world would come to life there, and she would wait for ... |

| i just checked out some info about SPD, and considering that it includes most symptons of asperger's but not the eye contact, restricted interests, obsession with specific objects bit, it sounds more like my case. I do fit in most areas of aspergers (i also got diagnosed recently but don't trust the... |

| Greyhound, i've been told that on the face a couple of times. But this was for totally different reasons compared to the responses u've received. Staying put in your comfort zone can be perceived as one taking things for granted, as in when someone is just comfortable with the way things are, conten... |

| Sofia; Welcome. I'm pretty new at this myself. Just joined WP today.I very much understand when you speak about being accused of lacking tact or sensitivity, and coming off as blunt when you assert yourself. The emotions of others can be so confusing, so mysterious. I have inadvertently stepped on ... |
