Why are you here?
Differential diagnosis attempt/clarifications.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
Official ADHD consultation (2010) at maudsley london pointing towards PDD-NOS/ASD but also low testosterone theory.....need to top it up.

Favorite subjects:
Whatever grabs my attention except for material, gimmicky things

Year/Grade:

Favorite music:
Never bought a track in my life. Don't listen to it, but I can tolerate it without fail..
For some reason though I don't like to admit I enjoy it unless its to my closest friends.

Books:
None, stopped reading at 16, felt like I was trying to complete chores. (symptoms of ADD, via ASD)

TV shows/Movies:
Dexter (serial killer - fantastic only IMO!) LOST, oh that fails now I think about it. Can't think of anything else, but nothing intellectually stupid!! !! !! I like SCI-FI, horror, comedy but I do not like modern based films, gangsta, detective yawn athough some films are clever regardless. Also, a bit tiring of twist films that need a twist and films that just can't stick to what they set out to be or portray themselves as. Sometimes, good people have to die, it is a fact......
Would be nice to have some well known actors killed off early in a sort of randomized (roulette wheel script) film.

Instrument:
Hands/mouse?

Do you like sports?
Can't stand it, probably because it brings me to be noticed and I suffer under stress (or what I think is stress) Oh and I would fail permanently If I made one or two mistakes, leading to a negative feedback loop......

Family:
No point mentioning.

Clothing:
Whatever is comfortable, not too tight, not too colorful (avoiding attention lol) I'm totally anti-style/fashion but I will try to dress so as not to be too noticed......

How did you find this website?
Brain search engine.....

Job:
None

Plans for the future?
Who knows? Right now, I'm an open book with pages to be filled.

Any comments?
Thanks for a helpful site. Like many other sites, without them, many people would be lost without a means of education or understanding.

Most of my problems seem to stem from over awareness, self consciousness, paranoia (mild) the need to avoid being seen or to avoid delicate situations and relationships..... rofl.

Shi-Anne

Age: 18

Location: Calgary, Alberta

Hobbies and Interests: Music, movies, reading...

Why are you here?
I took this aspie test. On the results page was a link to a forum which linked to this forum. So I signed up because this seemed a good a place as any.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):
ADD: Grade 3
Social anxiety: September of 2009
Asperger's: I'm positive I'm an aspie, but I'm undiagnosed as of yet. I want to wait until I'm on my own before doing this. [rant] I'm afraid to ask my parents about this because I know they'll just tell me I'm full of bull and go on to explain why I can't be an aspie based on a gross misunderstanding of what it actually is. They did the same for my ADD: I can spend hours on the computer; therefore, it's impossible for me to have ADD. For my social anxiety: yeah, you get anxious but it's only because you're too negative an expect the worst to happen; get over it. Even about my own sexuality! Both: Everyone likes sex. Mom: You're obviously a repressed lesbian. Dad: It's because you're afraid of commitment. (I'm asexual, btw.) [/rant]
*sigh*

Do you like sports?

What is your first name? Stephen

Age: 20 years and 7 days old

Location: New Albany, Pennsylvania

Hobbies and Interests: Videogames, cars, reading magazines about videogames and cars, music (Including some singing), and writing (Only because a lot people tell me that I'm apparently good at it...)

Why are you here? I've been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, and I was hoping to find some friends and people who can sympathize with some of my problems better than those I know offline. Maybe I'll even start having some semblance of a social life!

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): Once in early elementary school, and again right before starting college, in the summer of 2008.

Favorite subjects: English/Writing, Physics

Year/Grade: Just finished with my second year of college

Favorite music: My favorite genre is definitely classic rock, mainly stuff from the 50's to the 80's and mainly stuff from England, like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, and especially Queen (When it came to both songwriting and singing, Freddie Mercury was GOD ON EARTH!! ! R.I.P. Freddie )!

Books: Shakespeare, The Inferno, the Harry Potter series, Watchmen, right now I'm reading Fight Club

TV shows/Movies: I haven't really had the time to watch TV lately, but I usually just watch cartoons and Adult Swim. In terms of movies, I do like some live-action stuff, like the first two films in the Mad Max franchise, but I tend to prefer animated movies, especially most of the films that Pixar comes out with.

Instrument: Played percussion from 4th-12th grades, took a few years of piano lessons, and have also tried doing some more singing (Again, only because people tell me that I have a good singing voice...)

Do you like sports? Not really, except for some auto racing, bowling, golf, and pool.

Family: Mother and father who own a True Value store, and a sister who has just graduated from college.

Clothing: I usually wear a combo of a t-shirt (Usually with some sort of graphic on it) and jeans (Even during summer), because I know that formal wear and I definitely do not mix!

How did you find this website? An article in an autism support magazine, which I believe was called the "Advocate"

Job: Nothing on a regular basis (At least, not yet...)

Plans for the future? Since I'm at a point in my life now where I have no idea if I want to continue on with college or even what career I would be the happiest in pursuing/having, I don't really have any idea what to do with my life...

Any comments? As stated before, I just hope I can find some friends on this site so I won't feel lonely this summer and, hopefully, so I can start being much more trusting of society in general!
