Heya, new here, think I have AS but not sure

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah well, for a while now I've had a suspicion that I may have AS, ever since I saw a TV program about it (forgot what it was called) but just today I looked it up on wikipedia and I'm now pretty sure I have it - I have lots of the symptoms. Not really sure how to feel about that, a part of me feels happy that at least now I know, but in another way I'm pissed off because I wish I'd found out earlier in my life and maybe I wouldn't have had so many problems!

Anywho... a little about me - I'm 17, I found out about this site from wikipedia (when I was researching on AS earlier today), my hobbies include playing guitar, going out and getting pissed, using computers to make graphics, going on forums etc. and more. I go to school but I'm not in compulsory education any more, thinking about quitting school, getting a job and moving out into my own home because I need my independance to do what I want, and go where I wanna go in life.

As for why I think I have AS... well from an early age I would get obsessed with different things, when I was really little it was dinosaurs and diggers, then as I grew up I went through many different phases. Right now I'm not sure I'm obsessed with anything, apart from perhaps PURPLE! (I really love purple stuff right now.) When I was younger I got bullied in school, although I didn't admit it to myself at the time. As I've grown up I've had problems interacting with people. I have a small group of close friends which I am glad of, but none of them go to my school sadly . But, the only time I can really successfully interact with people is when I am drunk, as it takes away my inhibitions. I've only ever been in two relationships in my life, one lasted a week and the girl was a total user, the second one lasted only two days. I can also be quite clumsy. I am quite intelligent but lack motivation at school, which is why I got a D in art at GCSE - I did hardly any of the coursework I was supposed to. I have problems conveying my feelings to people, when I say stuff it often comes out wrong. When people ask me for help with their own personal problems I normally can't help them, much though I would like to. I sometimes get depressed and have at times felt like I was going insane. I've considered suicide before, although never to the point of actually being ready to do it or attempting it.

Oh, and whenever I'm reading text on a computer screen I do this weird thing where I keep triple-clicking to highlight the text for some reason. Don't ask me why!

Yeah well... enough about me let's hear about you guys!
