Hi all,

I am new to the forum as you can see, and Im new to a possible Aspie diagnosis. It all started when i met someone incredible who has Autism diagnosis, even though he is classic autism, he is more like aspie. I think the classic diagnosis was to help him get ssi benefits, medical help,etc. We have been talking for over a month now and we have so many similarities that he told me he thought I had autism too. I met him via his blog and we chatted on facebook and now we chat everyday for hours. I can't get enough of him and he me. He is very very sensory oriented and what im finding out is so am I. I've always classified sensory things as being a "problem" so to have likes and dislikes was more "acceptable" now my language and understanding is changing because of him too, and I am realizing that my strong likes for detailed pictures, anything visually appealing, clothing with certain fabrics, to the point of great pleasure/not erotic/ though it sometimes can make me feel high in a sense/ is really a sensory thing.... So I've talked with both my psychiatrist and my therapist and they agree that my tendancies seem to be autistic but they don't want to label me....so Im here now looking for answers and trying to find a comfortable place. I've always been a social tard, my affectionate term for myself. Anything dealing with emotion triggers serious doubt in me and I immediately pull back. After years and years of feeling awkward and like an alien...here I am at wrong planet what a fitting name ! !! !!
