Hello there.
I am not really sure what to write here.
I have been always told I have a strange communication style, and often got people very upset with me or offended for reasons I always cannot understand no matter what I do. When I ask them to please tell me why concretely, they get even more angry for the fact that I do not understand. Somehow the fact that I do not have bad intention seems to get lost and or irrelevant within the mess of social awkwardness caused by my errors in communication skills. This, and having a friend tell me the 'rules' by which 'normal' people have conversations (which was literally like rules from a different planet to me, completely ungraspable through intuition but somewhat dissolvable through logic), I decided to properly investigate if I have Aspergers.
It has also turned out that my ex-husband, my current boyfriend, my mother, and several friends of mine have Aspergers/autism spectrum classification, and I noticed that I have always felt conversation and interaction with them easy, rational, comfortable, and fulfilling (at least relatively, in comparison to what is 'normality'), which also was a reason for me to investigate.
It is good to see there are people who understand and share the same struggles in this world. It is good to know I can connect with them. I hope to do this here, without alienating too many people here in the process. Thank you.
