i think im an aspie

Post Reply New Topic

Here is my story, mabye you can help me. I always kindof suspected i had a disorder, but i always figure only *stupid* people had them. I was really ignorant to aspergers, and now i think that i may have it. Reading over a joking list of traits of aspies, and a list of common symptoms i think i am one. My suspicion is only confirmed by my nurse-in-training sister, who diagnosed me after a college psychology class. Here are some of the things i do that make me think im an aspie.

I hate the sound of chewing, and sudden noises or smells. I have few friends, none very close. My hands are always occupied when i am thinking, usually in the form of spinning a pencil. I constantly ask people if they are being sarcastic. Eye contact is extremely disconcerting, so i hardly ever make it. I hate smalltalk and social events. Crowds intimidate me, especially rowdy/loud ones. I am extremely focused on photography, i have spent most of my money and time over the last couple years on it. I have a monotone and an obsession with how things work.

sorry for how disjointed that list is. I am sure there are more things i could have included, but i wasnt really trying to do a comprehensive list.

anyways, what do you guys think? do i sound like an aspie?

Hi Amais,
Aspie or not, Welcome to the site !

I myself do photography aswell! What kind of stuff do you do?

no doubt you're an aspie.
congrats, its a gift you should be proud of.
yes it comes with it's hardships but being an aspie is amazing.

now you know you have it, do some research and stay on wp,
also read some books written by aspies you will find you can relate to these people prolly more than anyone you currently know.

Welcome!

Welcome amias. It seems as if you have had some interesting indications, but you should keep reading about Aspeger's Syndrome if it is important to you. If you want to know something, you can focus on waiting for others to provide information or focus on seeking it yourself. I realize asking questions here is a way to continue the learning process, but I hope that having received replies such as the one below, you will continue to seek more definitive and reliable sources of feedback. Professional diagnosis is most advisable and useful, but you can learn a lot by reading diligently. Apply your obsessive desire to know how things work.
