Hello. I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself. I am a demisexual and I believe I may have Asperger's.

I have been struggling to figure out whether or not I have a place on the autism spectrum. I was tested, but not for Autism, as a child, and diagnosed with ADD.
But for the past four years I haven't helped but wondering if that diagnosis was a mistake.
I'll be getting testing next week though, so I guess I shall know then.

You'll probably see me around on the forums, and I'm also on AVEN a bit under the same name.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

I am self-diagnosed on the Asperger's-Autism Spectrum and I'm comfortable with that. To me, what this gives me is kind of a conceptual whole that helps me better understand both the parts of my life that go well and parts that go less well.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but what does demisexual mean? I can honestly say I've never heard that term before.

For everyone it's different. For me, I don't experience physical attraction. I don't understand what makes one person better looking than another. It's close to asexuality, except demisexuals can experience sexual attraction, although only through emotionally deep and trusting bonds.
